Mu husband received full nursing care for 3 and a half years. His care was gentle, respectful and kind as he was dependant on others for all movement, feeding and personal hygiene. He had an active brain and was enabled to join in activities, where possible. At all times, our family were encouraged
to visit and welcomed with a smile from all staff members. I was fully informed of the details of his care, and felt free to discuss details of the care routine. I cannot thank them enough for all the kindness that I have been shown and the diligent and gentle care that my husband received.

I recently visited Casterbridge Lodge and was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional care and welcoming atmosphere. The director's strong leadership fosters a nurturing community, where every resident feels valued and heard, creating a compassionate and professional environment from the moment you
arrive.
The manager deserves special praise for her outstanding management skills. She leads with empathy and efficiency, empowering staff to deliver personalized care. The manager's attention to detail ensures smooth operations, from tailored care plans to engaging activities that cater to diverse interests. Her approachable nature builds trust with both staff and families, instilling confidence in the high-quality care provided at Casterbridge Lodge. I highly recommend this care home to anyone seeking a compassionate and well-managed place for their loved ones.

My wife has been a resident for 1 year and has settled very well, due to the treatment by all the staff, she has become easier to look after. Myself and my family are always treated very well when visiting. This is such a comfort for a family going through a difficult period and knowing how well she
is being looked after in a safe environment with care and compassion.

Outstanding care from a care home that really cares!
After a terrible experience at another local care home, Casterbridge Lodge was a definite breath of fresh air. Managers are visible and approachable at all times. Staff are patient, very kind and amazing at their jobs. The home is very clean and
very well maintained. My father thrived at this home, eats well, and always has a drink within reach.
I really can't speak more highly of the home and its team. I could sit and watch and listen to interactions between staff, residents and the management team in the lounges all day, and it was always a thrill to witness staff dancing with residents and encouraging them to take part in activities and interactions with others.
The external areas of the home are also very well maintained, and residents were encouraged to go outside to sit under umbrellas during hot weather during the summer, where they were given ice lollies and ice creams to enjoy.

My mum has been at Casterbridge Lodge for more than a year now and she has settled in well thanks to the managers and staff who are very caring, friendly and supportive to my mum's (and my) needs. Nothing is too much trouble and I feel the staff have worked so hard to make it feel like a family, a home
that's well loved and are always keeping my mum feeling safe.

Very pleased with the care my mum has had, very caring staff, they seem to spend time with the residents and sit and talk to them, not just to see how they are and walk away. The care home is very clean, no carpets (great news) Residents have lovely meals and snacks, not short on food. Mum is clean,
well-fed and seems as happy as she can be with dementia.

I visited my nan for the first time on 23/11/2023 and upon arrival I was met with a warm friendly greeting. The home smelt beautiful and I was told it was hot spiced apple on sale for visitors, I brought a cup for myself and the lady on reception let me take one for my nan too, while I waited I read
the events boards. It all sounded fantastic, a real fun filled month of Christmas. The lady on reception then also helped me to her room and was happy to answer my questions. Whilst visiting with Nan she told me how happy she was and that she is well looked after, I could see this for myself as she looked really well. A carer came in and spoke with Nan about the tea time menu and asked her what she would like. I thought this was really nice and still gives Nan the independence of choice and the evening's tea sounded lovely too. I am so pleased with the care my nan is receiving at Casterbridge Manor. It's a huge comfort to me and my family to know she is in good hands. Thank you all.

My dad has been moved down to palliative care floor from nursing floor. He appears to have more attention and better care. Nurse in charge every Saturday will come and talk to myself and Mum and we are offered a drink every week. Regular calls made to me from the palliative care team every Wednesday,
as always asked for since Dad has been in. We are given updates without having to ask. So pleased Dad is being cared for on this floor now.

I found the first and following observations of the building and facilities to be modern and well-maintained with a lot of thought gone into the decor and equipment. The care staff from management to carers etc showed a very friendly and professional manner in all aspects. I was particularly impressed
with the handling and administering of drugs and medication.

Despite his very high care needs, carers have made a really good effort to understand and anticipate these needs, fully involving him and myself in any decisions regarding his care and well-being. I feel that he is safe at Casterbridge Manor Care Home and is treated with dignity and respect. Nursing
staff are efficient and kind, recognising his issues with cognition and severe incapacity physically.
Management are readily available and keen to ensure that any possible issues are anticipated/resolved. Appears to be a happy environment reflected in general atmosphere.

My husband is treated with care, dignity and efficiency by all the staff in the home.
They are kind and caring not only to the residents but to their visitors too.
I can’t speak too highly of all aspects of his care from communication with me to his medical physical and personal needs.
He has settled
well interacting with the staff who always have a ready smile and give encouragement with humour and patience at all times.

At first, my loved one felt very happy in this home and her care appeared good. It was disappointing that an accident happened that should have been and could have been avoided. Too many new, young staff who were not adequately trained so sadly care started to drop and this had to be reported, most
were upheld. An illegal eviction followed due to issues being raised in a polite manner to home, no attempt to discuss and resolve issues, just go with 7 days then go. Illness followed which resulted in a hospital stay and tests etc and despite appearing concerned, an email was soon received stating loved one was not welcome back so loved one became homeless. As a direct result, an acute hospital bed is now being taken up by someone ready for discharge. My loved one is very distressed and unhappy desperate to leave the hospital. Thank you, Casterbridge Manor.

Northway House Residential Home

from R C (Respite Resident) published on 17 January 2022
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

I stayed at Northway House for 13 days of remedial care following a hip replacement surgery. For most of my stay, I became increasingly independent needing minimum help, but help and care was always there if needed. Under these circumstances, I am unable to comment on the whole extensive intimate care
given to most of the residents but I have no doubt that it is first class. Catering is excellent, the meals are well cooked and varied also, with in-between meal drinks and titbits. Day or night nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the carers who faced every request with willingness and a smile.
I think it is only fair to say that carers are grossly underrated by those in managerial positions (few if any of whom would be capable of doing the job) and their value to society needs to be drastically updated.
