At first it seemed overwhelming but as soon as I entered the front door the down to earth welcome and knowledge of my wants and needs by every attendant from the off made me feel at ease and welcome the care from that moment was beyond excellent both in respect of cleanliness food and activities. I was not pushed into any event that I did not want and was helped to choose anything available at will. Building was great.

My Queenie, has been at Kenworth Castle for the last 6 weeks, From day one, the staff have shown such genuine warmth and compassion, taking the time to learn her routines and what makes Pam happy. The activity program is fantastic; Pam has been enjoying clubs, music and even quiz night every Friday at the bar, in this beautiful estate and the regular community events are a wonderful way to bring residents and families together. The food is excellent, with plenty of variety, and the home itself is always spotless. It's reassuring to know Pam is in such a caring and safe environment where she is treated with dignity and respect Lovely place, great staff, very welcoming!

I am Power of Attorney for my good friend of many years. Unfortunately her health has deteriorated over the last 6 months and we had to make the decision to find a care home for her. I am so glad we chose Kenwith. It is a wonderful home. The care is exceptional. Nothing is to much trouble. The staff work long hours but they are always cheerful and compassionate. The manager is amazing and her office door is always open if you have any concerns. Kenwith Castle deserves full marks for all aspects of care..

I'm so pleased my mum is in Kenwith as I know she is safe and very well looked after. The staff are lovely and keep me informed. We are so lucky with the grounds as mum loves walking around the lake and visiting the cafe. I would definitely recommend Kenwith.

My experience with Kenwith castle has been excellent. The care team go above and beyond to meet the needs of my loved one. She is always treated with dignity and respect and is treated as an individual. I have spoken with staff and they are always willing to help. They are very professional caring people. The staff have said to me that it's not like coming to work it's their home from home. Always lots of activities and outings . My cousin has a shower or bath at any time of the day that she wishes.The food is amazing . I regularly join my cousin for lunch at Kenwith and the food is all freshly cooked on the premises and is of a high standard . Food is always pipping hot . The cleanliness of the home is outstanding never no foul smells when I visit compared to other homes I have visited . The management are very understanding and helpful should you have any questions. This is a home that puts the residents first in every aspect. This is down to the fantastic team at Kenwith Castle

Kenwith is an amazing care home. It could not be better. My mum has received expert care at a time in her life when she really needs sensitive care and attention. All the staff are extremely supportive of our whole family at this difficult time, and are always there for a hug if I need it too! We are kept informed of Mum's health needs and we work together to navigate the complex care systems in place! We have all built lovely relationships with the staff, and Kenwith really does feel like at home.

My dad has been a resident at Kenwith for just over a year, and I'm so impressed with the care and community. Making the decision to place a loved one in a care home is never easy, but it has given my dad a new lease on life. The management team is so friendly and approachable, the reception team are always so welcoming and the care team are fantastic, treating my dad with dignity and respect. The activities team is incredible, offering a wide variety of engaging activities for the residents. The home is always spotlessly clean! A special thank you to the Christmas Day team, who went above and beyond to ensure the residents had a wonderful celebration - my family and I were so impressed. Knowing my dad is cared for in such a supportive and vibrant community, surrounded by beautiful grounds, has been a huge comfort to me and my family. We always feel so welcome when we visit. Thank you to everyone at Kenwith Castle for everything you do!

My Mum has been a resident here for 3 years. This lovely home was our first choice for Mum. Lovely, clean, safe and well-managed. All the staff are amazing and always there for Mum and us. We wouldn't want her to be in any other home.

My father has been a resident at Kenwith Castle Country House Care since May 2024, firstly for respite care and then permanently. He has been so well looked after since day one. The staff are amazing. They pass his door every few minutes, with always a wave, a hello and a smile. His quality of life has improved dramatically, from seeing very few people to being part of a community. Yesterday, Christmas Day, we visited in the morning to find a wonderful homely atmosphere, with all the staff making us feel like a family. I am so sure that Dad is in the best place, with the best possible care.

My Mum came to Kenwith Castle for respite care after having a hip replacement. She also has mild dementia. She was more confused after the operation. The staff have been excellent in making my Mum feel comfortable relaxed and at home while staying at Kenwith. It was exactly what my Mum was looking for and needed after the operation. Her room has a great view of the lake. Our family has really enjoyed visiting and using the facilities like the pub and the coffee shop. Their facilities make visiting fun. My mum loved all the social activities on daily.

This was one week's respite, everything was good and I would come back again for future respite care.

I moved to Kenwith Castle a month ago having lived independently up until then. I feel there are more restrictions than I thought there would be, however, understandably this is to keep others safe. Having the grounds has been a positive experience as I go round on my scooter multiple times a day. I really look forward to the weekly quiz and crossword activities. The carers and staff are really friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. I feel very settled here.
