Castle Hill House

We were so lucky to find Castle Hill and mum has lived here now for nearly two years. Everyone has been so supportive in that time. The atmosphere is always welcoming and the staff are so friendly and caring. The activities are so well planned, going above and beyond for the residents to have a wonderful
time. Everything is always covered from medical matters to laundry and beyond. The food is excellent and chef's birthday cakes a great favourite. The list of praise goes on! We cannot thank you all enough.

My mum moved into Castle Hill House in December 2024. We were so pleased she settled so well. She is 90 and needed more nursing than I could give at home. The staff are so nice, nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Castle Hill.

After being discharged from hospital and unable to cope at home, dad has spent over eighteen months at Castle Hill House where he has been very well cared for. Everyone has been very supportive and always available to chat with him, establishing good relationships.
The home is in a nice setting, is
clean and welcoming with good facilities. A wide and regular range of entertainments is offered and visitors always felt welcomed.
Both the care team and management have communicated well with me as events unfold.
I am very grateful for the quality of care offered and friendly attitude of everyone at Castle Hill House.

Have been in care after a second hip operation and the quality and professionalism given here have exceeded all expectations. I cannot speak highly enough of each individual working here. I would recommend it to anyone. The Towans the help with recovery or to anyone who needs to come in as a resident.
Am very grateful to each on here. They treat each one in their care as special.

The Towans

from D R (Day Care) published on 29 January 2025

Some Five months ago I started attending The Towans Care Home, for respite care, once or twice a week. I feel that the staff have been excellent in understanding my needs, and make me feel very welcome and safe in their hands. They are approachable and nothing is too much trouble for them. They work
very well together to support the residents and make us feel part of a family. The Towan's activities are quite outstanding and very well organised. We do various activities such as Tai Chi, entertaining games, like Name That Tune, and Musical Bingo. We have visiting singers and musicians, also Alpacas and Owls have come to see us, which is very interesting. The food is excellent, very well cooked and varied. I never expected everything to turn out so well and it certainly has opened my eyes. I've been, able to make new friends and attending The Towans has enriched my quality of life. I have no hesitation, whatsoever in recommending The Towans to anyone.

The Towans

from Jean B (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 January 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother moved into The Towans, for 2 weeks respite care, in November 2024, following a couple of falls in her home. The respite care was quickly converted to permanent residency as we were delighted with the home and care received. The staff are amazing. So kind, caring and cheerful. They are very
dedicated to the residents, helping them to live their best lives, in their remaining years. My mother hadn't wanted to move into care, but she was soon won over. She can't fault the care received. The food is excellent. Great choice for each meal with sensible, tempting portions. My mother had become quite isolated at home, seeing only her daily carers and occasional friends and family. She is now taking part in most of the activities. She enjoys the company of the other residents and has made some very nice friends. She even tried knitting recently, something she hadn't done for about 30 years. We couldn't praise The Towans highly enough. It's a wonderful home with superb staff.

Reply from Lucy Ledger, Business Support at The Towans

What can we say? That review has really touched us, such wonderful and thoughtful words. It means so much to our staff to hear what families have to say about the care their precious loved ones receive here. We are thrilled your dear mum wanted to stay at The Towans and love having you all as part of our extended Towans family.

As a family, we feel very fortunate that our dad is settled in such a lovely, privately owned care home. The staff are helpful, friendly, efficient and most importantly caring in their work. Walking into Castle Hill House you are always greeted with a smile and are made to feel welcome. It has a comfortable,
homely feel. Dad has a good size, light and clean room, with easy access to his bathroom and a nearby lounge. There's always an extensive range of activities on offer, the musical entertainment visits are a particular favourite for him. The food looks delicious too and visitors are always welcome, with no constraints on timings, which is beneficial as I live a distance away. Well done to everyone at Castle Hill, we appreciate your thoughtfulness and caring.

Mum moved into Castle Hill House in October, after trying a two week respite stay. She has settled in very quickly.
Mum regularly comments on how kind, friendly and helpful all the staff are and this fits with my experience when I visit. I have also found the senior staff to be very helpful and professional
whenever I have had a query, and they make sure I am kept up to date.
The activities are exceptionally well organised and varied and mum has been given a lot of support to get involved.
The kitchen copes well with mum's dietary needs.

My brother and sister in law have been residents at Castle Hill House since March 2021. I live 250 miles away so am not able to make regular visits, but when I do I am welcomed and the atmosphere is good. I am kept informed by staff and have regular zoom calls with my relatives. Staff are kind and helpful
and seem to have a very good rapport with my relatives.

from Jayne W (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 November 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Mum is generally very happy at Castle Hill House and any complaints from her are really just because she's having an off day rather than anything ongoing. I find the staff extremely friendly and helpful to her. The home does not seem to rely heavily on agency staff so there are always familiar people
around which must be good for residents with dementia. The surroundings at the home are pleasant and everything seems well organised, especially the amount of activities on offer which mum enjoys. I find any issues I need to raise are promptly dealt with. My only negative comment is the call system in operation which means an almost constant background noise of the call bell ringing. Also, I have only given 4 stars for cleanliness as there are sometimes cobwebs in Mum's room and bits and pieces of things she has dropped left under the bed.

Reply from Claire Cooper, Deputy Manager at Castle Hill House

Thank you for such positive feedback. It is always good to hear that people are pleased with what we are doing. We know we have a fantastic staff team and its lovely to have their efforts mentioned. We will pass on your comments. Your feedback is appreciated and has enabled positive changes to our clean teams paperwork, auditing and checks. The call bells can be notably during our busiest times of the day, as we have high demands at particular times of the day, one being the morning for the big rush to all be up and dressed ready for our very popular daily activities. Call bells are regularly monitored and often it is a case of multiple calls, sometimes overlapping and sometimes one after the other. It is important that all our residents to know they can call for help whenever they need so we do encourage use of the call bells. We will continue trying to improve response times to the call bells.

My uncle has been a resident at Castle Hill House for approximately 13 years. He is very happy at Castle Hill. He doesn't participate in any of the organised activities, but that is his choice and he is happy not to do so. He seems to enjoy his food, and when I have visited him at meal times, I have
commented on how the food looks very nice. The staff I have met seem very kind and friendly, which is very important. My only negative comment is that his walls could do with a coat of paint, but I think the home is aware.

My mum has been at The Towens Care Home for almost a year now. The change in her is wonderful to see. She is happier healthier and a lot more social. I can't praise the care staff enough for the first-class care they give to Mum. The towens always have activities each day for the residents to take part
in which Mum loves and she's always looking forward to meal times as she tells me the food is lovely. I really can't fault the excellent care she receives.
