Castlecroft is a special place, where the team, residents and their loved ones work together to create a happy home that feels like an extended family.
There are resident ambassadors, who have active roles to play in how the home is run, from helping to interview potential staff, to providing residents’ feedback.
The team are passionate about enriching their residents’ lives, supporting them to do the things that bring them joy, giving them a sense of continuity and purpose. One resident is a fitness enthusiast, so the team created a gym for him, with his own equipment and some new additions.
Relatives are embraced into life at Castlecroft, and many are volunteering there. For example, several relatives created a vegetable patch with the residents, while others run singing sessions. There is also a private family and friends Facebook page.
Many residents love animals, so every week a member of the team brings in her family dog for them.
All the staff are actively involved in activities. Staff buddy residents who share the same interests, so activities are even more meaningful. For example, the maintenance operative discovered one of the residents shares his love of playing pool, so takes time to join him for games in home’s bar.
A group of male residents were chatting about how they loved cooking, so the ‘curry club’ was created. They go shopping with the team for the ingredients to make their own curries.
The home itself is beautiful, with spacious ensuite bedrooms, lounge areas and quiet spaces. There are landscaped gardens, where the residents enjoy growing their own produce, which they harvest for the chef to use in the kitchen. And mealtimes are a real highlight, with delicious home-cooked meals every day.

Mum has been at Castlecroft now for 2 years and I remain extremely impressed with the care provided. Kind and attentive staff, a warm, friendly atmosphere and a sense of family and community. The staff always have time to talk to me about my mum, listen to my thoughts and explore ways of improving her life. Whenever I visit, which is generally daily, I am greeted with enthusiasm and feel that I am in a really positive environment. The food is excellent and the staff, from the laundry to the senior carers and management, all focus on creating a lovely environment for residents and families. Very hard work, dedication and much organisation underpin the success of Castlecroft. A big thank you to all of the staff!

Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback. It means so much to hear how settled and happy your mother feels, and that you leave each visit confident she is safe and well cared for. We're so pleased she feels at home with us.
Mom moved into Castlecroft in April 2020 during Covid with advanced vascular dementia aged 88, and she tested the security arrangements after a lifetime of going where she wanted when she wanted. She was treated with compassion and understanding by the caring staff of the home. No matter what time...
Unfortunately she passed away on 23rd Feb 2026 and the love and care of everyone at the care home was palpable and very much appreciated.
I can honestly say that the ease of mind we as a family had, from knowing that mom was 100% in the right place to make her final years as happy as possible, was worth its weight in gold.
I would like to thank everyone involved in her care for the last 6 years from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review. It means so much to know your mom felt valued and well cared for, and that you and your family found comfort in the support she received throughout her years with us. Your kind words are deeply appreciated.

After a lot of upset and worry with my husband going into hospital and other care homes I feel my husband is finally in the best place he could be. He is now content and settled and I could not ask for more. If I am worried or concerned about anything I feel I can go to any member of staff and it...
Cleanliness is of a very high standard. I am very thankful my husband is there. Obviously I wish he was with me but as that is not a possibility we have the best result for us. I feel OK when I leave him as he is so well cared for. I am happy as I can be in our situation.

Castle Croft is a phenomonal care home. My Aunty is now bedridden and requires extensive care. Whenever I visit my Aunt she is clean and moisturised and her exercises have been performed. The care team take great joy in telling me about her progress and demonstrate genuine care and affection. Sam who leads the floor, has been an absolute rock for me and my family. We feel like she is now an extended part of our family. I dont know what we would have done without them all. They are all true angels.
