Overall a super experience. Theres no visiting restrictions which is good. Staff very friendly, especially Chris. Furnishings beautiful. Not sure on the food as my friend doesn't seem to happy about it! Outside furniture would be a good idea as weather gets hotter every year.

If you require a 'blueprint' for a residential care home you can find no better example than Castle Lodge. Staff are well qualified but most importantly show a genuine warmth towards their residents. They are proactive in ensuring that any moments of anxiety or uncertainty are met with calming, professional care. The atmosphere is positive with a gentle 'buzz' and there is a sense of community. Superb, hands-on leadership sets the tone. I wish that everyone requiring care could have a Castle Lodge in their life!
We are delighted that you have recognised not only the professionalism of our team, but also the genuine warmth and compassion they bring to their roles every day....
