Overall Experience

The home is well run and cares well for its residents. I would have liked staff to introduce themseves in passing on the first day but have already mentioned this. They are very attentive, responding to changing needs and the vagaries of dementia with kindness and good humour.

Overall Experience

Since my mum has moved in to her new home at Nesfield Lodge I can see she has thrived. She took time to settle but this can be normal for someone with alzheimers. The staff are exceptional and I never worry about her because I know she is on good hands.
The activities that are organised are fun and

engaging and I love seeing this on their Facebook page.
When I visit mum I always leave with a smile on my face.

Reply from Nesfield Lodge, Home Manager at Nesfield Lodge Dementia Care Home

Overall Experience

I would like to give a big shoutout to staff involved in making my family's visit to my mum today to celebrate her 90th birthday such a lovely experience.To totally rearrange my mums room so all 7 of us plus mum could sit together so as to spend some of this precious time in comfort with her was wonderful.

Also the addition of the happy birthday posters and the tea and biscuits offered to us all during our visit was again a lovely touch .

Thank you

Overall Experience

My brother is being cared for at this location. I live outside of the country and flew over to visit my brother for one week. Being there ever day, I was impressed by the professionalism of the staff and level of care and attention my brother received.
The management and administration were very

open and communicated well. They gave clear and understandable plans for my brother's care. And made extra efforts with regard to continuing communication due to the fact that I live abroad.
I was very impressed with the location and staff and feel very comfortable that my brother is being well cared for.

Reply from Paulina Drzewiecka, Middleton Park Lodge Manager at Middleton Park Lodge Nursing Home

We are extremely proud that we could look after your brother in such a difficult time for him. We are also happy that your visits were pleasant and you back to Florida knowing that your brother is well looked after.

Overall Experience

I visited my mother-in-law today at Nesfield Lodge and joined in the karaoke afternoon. She arrived on Wednesday, so this was a first for both of us. It was a truly joyful experience. Watching the staff engage with the residents was wonderful. Watching the residents engage with the music and sing was

very touching. Every member of staff I spoke to was very kind and made me feel welcome and very confident about her being there.
The staff singing on the karaoke were really good and made a fantastic afternoon's entertainment. Well done team.

My dad first went here for respite care and has been well looked after and his needs met. Staff are always pleasant and helpful and willing to help. He is now a permanent resident and things are changing under new management all for the better in my opinion. Clean and tidy rooms and always there to

help.

Overall Experience

My grandma is a resident here and I am beyond happy with the care both she receives. The staff are attentive to her needs beyond basic care. They make sure she is socially integrated with other residents through planned activities. My grandma was very against going into a home but now she is there she

is happy and thriving compared to her life before she was placed here.
I have experience dealing with a few homes and this is by far the best I've found for my grans care needs, and my own peace of mind. I am so grateful for everything Orchard and the staff here do for my gran and I - I'd recommend this home to anyone.

Reply from Sarah Golden-Hill, Home Manager at Castleford Lodge Nursing Home

Saskia, thank you for the very kind words about Castleford Lodge it is great to hear that your grandma has settled in well and that she feels that this was the right move for her at the time that she needed the support. I have read that your grandma is receiving social interaction which is an important part of daily living. To read that the staff here at the home are attentive is something that I will be passing on to them. Again thank you for taking the time to review the home.

Overall Experience

My friend has been a resident here for a few months and I generally visit him weekly for a couple of hours.
No matter what day or time I arrive, I can get parked and receive a very warm welcome with offer of any help.
His room is private, comfortable and spacious.
He compliments the food and looks

well nourished with a healthy look.
He is always dressed well and very clean, and most importantly he is happy.
There is lots of entertainment on offer and fun things taking place.
Everyone is well seen to and have all they need.
The place is spotless, fresh smelling and good atmosphere.
As for all the staff - brilliant! friendly, available, attentive, professional and very helpful !! Nothing is ever too much.
It's run like clockwork and everyone is busy in a silent, seamless, stressless way - things just get done with little noise and disruption.
I hope I receive this level of care if and whenever I may need it.
Thanks for looking after my friend and all the others!!

Overall Experience

My mum has settled in really well at Castleford Lodge. I asked my mum what she liked about the care home, her words are, they treat me like a person, nothing is too much trouble, the food is good and I feel safe.
A lot of time effort and care is given, by all staff in making sure that all residents

needs are catered for. Lots of fun, great atmosphere, plenty of interaction from staff with residents and their families.
The management teams, door is always open to discuss any issues or queries. There is a proactive professional approach, to take on board any suggestions and to maintain a good working relationship with families of residents.
It's a difficult time, when a family has to put a family member into full time care. I can't thank Castleford Lodge enough, for all the help and support I have received from all the team. When I go home from visiting my mum, I feel confident leaving her in a safe environment, which is now her home.

Reply from Sarah Golden-Hill, Manager at Castleford Lodge Nursing Home
