Castle Brook is situated in the town of Kenilworth, close to local shops, pubs, restaurants, a bus route, and the castle and provides long-term and respite care for older people.
The home has six households, each with its own communal open-plan lounge, dining area, and kitchen so that residents can enjoy independence with the added support of the care team. The home also offers a café, table tennis area, cinema, shop, launderette, spa baths, and a beauty salon with unisex hairdressing and manicures.
All rooms have ensuite wetrooms, a personalised front door, plenty of storage, and the option of a TV or telephone. Ground floor rooms all have their own patio area. Castle Brook also offers companion rooms for couples or relatives who want to stay together. The lounge areas are central to the household where people like to get together and socialise with other residents, family and friends. Outside is a large garden with a specially designed cycle path for a side-by-side bicycle for two, outdoor gym equipment, varied planting that residents and staff care for, and plenty of places to relax. Residents can also choose to play bowls or croquet on the rooftop bowling green.
The home uses a range of technology to support residents' health and wellbeing, including acoustic night-time monitoring and circadian lighting.
There is always a lot happening in the home, with regular activities including a weekly choir and church service. As part of the activity provision, Community Musicians provide one-to-one and group music sessions. The Lifestyle Coaches plan a variety of activities and aim to ensure residents can continue doing what they enjoy. WCS's Memory Maker minibus offers regular local trips for residents, including those who use a wheelchair. Relatives are invited to join so families can make new memories together.

My mother was transferred from hospital for rehabilitation. The standard of care and attention to detail was exceptional. The environment is very welcoming and homely. The facilities available enable family members to share memorable times.

Mum moved into Castle Brook in March and found it quite difficult to adjust at first. Any "settling in" issues that I raised with the staff was addressed immediately - I never had to raise an issue for a second time. The facilities are first class. The staff are all friendly and genuinely caring...
Mum chooses to remain in her room so I cannot comment on the activities the home provides.
Mum has now settled and is very happy now, and I don't believe she could get better care anywhere. I would not hesitate to recommend Castle Brook, it is truly excellent.
My wife has been in Castle Brook for 12 months now where she has been very well looked after. All needs are met and she is quite content. The management and staff are always cheerful and helpful.

I first visited a friend only a couple of weeks after the home opened, sadly she died 18 months ago. During the 16 months I visited, there were so many problems - 4/5 managers, staff, care, food, everything causing unhappiness for residents. I am now visiting another friend who is on the NHS floor and I am amazed at the difference and how the new manager has turned it around- congratulations. My friend is very happy and if you have good food, a relaxed, cheerful environment it aids recovery and contentment.
The management and staff were very supportive end of July/August when my very disabled mother was bereaved. They also assisted with specialised transport and carers support on the day of the funeral, which was much appreciated. All the carers showed great compassion to Mum and all the family.

Somewhere I would be happy to go myself if the need arises.

The staff at Castle Brook are caring and conscientious, however, there are too few of them at the weekend, overall, the facilities are excellent though my father's living room/bathroom could do with being spruced up. I have requested a new armchair for his living room because the one that is there at the moment smells of urine and stale food. I do believe my father is getting the best care available given his state of health. Thank you to Castle Brook.

I'm the General Manager for Castle Brook and have been with WCS Care since 2016.
I joined Castle Brook in 2017, with my first and biggest job to date helping to move 32 residents from the old Woodside home in Warwick to Castle Brook, whilst it was redeveloped into the care village it is today.
I'm passionate about supporting carers to make Castle Brook the very best it can be and my mission is to make sure there are no barriers to what care home residents can do, just because they are living in a 'care home'.
