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.

Thank you for your review, we can't express how much it means to our entire team when families express their thanks and appreciation for our staff that go above and beyond. The team do this because they care deeply for the residents and they love their jobs but it is always nice to have your efforts noticed and appreciated. We will be sure to pass on your words. Thank you.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.677) out of 10 for Castle Hill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.677 for Castle Hill House is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.677
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Castle Hill House is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Manager
Joined: 2020
My name is Careen, I qualified as a nurse in 1985, back in the days when nurses wore large silver buckles and frilly hats. I’ve seen a lot of changes but one thing that never changes is my fascination with people and their stories; I have had the privilege of caring for someone whose job was to press the first new coins for the royal mint, the person who invented the TOG rating for duvets, a lady who travelled across the London Underground during the war with her handbag stuffed full of diamonds after the bank she worked for was bombed, I've even had occasion to sing ‘Happy 111th Birthday to you…’.
My days are as varied as the people that fill them, just one of many reasons why I love my job here at Castle Hill House.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2014
I have worked at Castle Hill House for a total of ten years. I have enjoyed working alongside such a dedicated team, who strive to provide a person-centred approach to care for our wonderful residents.
Due to Claire's wonderful work ethic and care for our residents, she previously got through the Regional Care Finals of the National Care Awards!
