My mother has been a resident at Castle View Nursing Home for the last 3 months. The staff are kind and attentive. The home is clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. There are plenty of activities to keep residents engaged, and communication with family members is excellent.
I
would recommend Castle View Nursing Home.

The staff makes Castle View feel like a home. They always have a hug and a kind word for the residents and family members. Nothing is too much trouble. The facility is spotlessly clean and the amenities and activities are wonderful. Again, it's the staff involved with enriching the resident's lives
that makes Castle View such a special place. Thank you!

Two years as a resident, my husband is looked after so well, the staff are amazing, caring, entertaining and full of empathy. Every day is a challenge for them all and they do their absolute best, often against all odds. Dementia is the most dreadful disease but they understand the needs of both residents
and families, allowing families to live their lives knowing their loved ones are cared for well. Still feel staff need more support in so far as if they are ill themselves (bigger issues) they should be paid - loyalty deserves support.

My mother is very well cared for and appreciated, her needs are met plus her wants. She feels at home here and I feel welcomed and cared for every time I visit. The staff are professional yet friendly and more like family. I feel reassured, when I am not on the island, that mum is in the best place
and cared for in a loving appropriate way. Thank you.

My dad only arrived at Castle View last week, but since he arrive we can not praise the care he has been given enough. All of the staff are so friendly and the way they engage with dad is lovely to see, they have fun with him too which I know he likes. This was a very hard decision for us as we did
all we could to keep dad in his own home. Dad deserves the best care possible and we know he will get that here. They have made us feel so welcome too, which helps in such a difficult time.

The review was carried out in an unhurried manner. This type of resident is in a vulnerable position and it is good to think that there is great consideration given to their welfare. It gave a good opportunity to raise any concerns which may exist, which one can only hope will be acted upon.

My mother is treated with respect, friendliness and kindness. All her needs are taken care of quickly. The staff are a joy and have her laughing everyday. From nurses to cleaners, everyone worked so hard, especially the carers, but always with a smile. The whole of Castle View Nursing Home is spotlessly
clean. The daily selection of food is very varied and they go out of their way to accommodate mum's whims when possible. I can not praise all at Castle View enough.

The staff at Castle View Nursing Home are doing their best to care for my partner who is in an advanced stage of dementia. It is a difficult task at the best of times but in general the care is as good as it could ever be, apart from one to one/ 24 hours/7 days per week, which is not entirely an option.

Mum has been resident for over 2 years now and is very settled. The staff are very attentive and caring towards mum and other residents. Always giving a friendly wave and say hello when passing. Staff are always available to answer queries or sort any problems.

Castle View is a good care home. The structure is pleasant. Manager personable and friendly, nursing staff professional, carers carry out assigned duties. However, on more than one occasion, points I have raised have not been satisfactorily addressed:
1. Catering service could be improved by privileging
quality over quantity and serving food at the desired temperature.
2. Response time to the call bell is often unacceptably lengthy, forcing resident to resort to other means of attracting attention.
3. Handling of laundry needs improvement: too often named and numbered items are mislaid.
Also, with a few exceptions carers are less personable than they could be, considering they are caring for elderly, fragile individuals needing reassurance and kindness. Recently my relative has been unwell but has not received the extra attention and sympathy one should expect. Communication with staff especially on weekends is difficult. The two staff mobile phones on my relative's floor are often switched off.

A lovely visit showing how excellently my friend is being looked after. From an initial phone call to the swift welcome, and then the time with my friend. The team was efficient, unobtrusive, helpful, and always incredibly kind. We were offered refreshments and help at every stage. My friend is loving
the home! Great job - well done!

My husband was in Castle View for three weeks whilst I attended a family wedding. He did not altogether enjoy the experience. The savory food he felt was not of a good standard- he is not a big eater but he complained that meat portions were extremely small. I told the manageress- she contacted the
person in charge of the kitchen who replied to me that they would see to the problem. However, when I got my husband home he said the portions did not improve! The other problem was buzzers going off constantly in the corridor- very stressful for the residents. I understand why they have them in the rooms but when one resident is constantly using the buzzer surely it should be isolated and the nurses make a point of checking that person on a regular basis.

Mom has lived in Castle View Care Home for over 1 year now and both she and all the family are extremely satisfied with the level of care. All the staff are professional, easygoing, friendly, and go the extra mile. It made Moms stay feel like home. They will always say hello and stop by for a chat.
Thank you for everything you do - it is very reassuring for us to know Mom is so well cared for.

I have been a resident here for 3 1/2 years and my wife 4 years. During this time, we have had 3 managers, sometimes standards have ranged from poor to exceptional, but on the whole satisfactory. The nurses, carers and supporting staff on the whole are very caring, with our manager showing the way and
with many staff going out of their way to be helpful, in spite of being occasionally short-staffed. Noise from televisions and doors slamming are constant, problems as sound insulation seems non-existent. But overall, I would at present recommend the nursing home.

Peter, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Castle View and for your comments about our home and team.

My father continues to be very happy at Castle View Nursing Home. He is a very quiet and shy man who doesn't like to take part in group activities but I and the activities organiser try to encourage him. I hope they have success as it concerns me sometimes that he is isolated. Regardless, he enjoys
his chats with staff and it is a blessing that he really likes all the staff. They are incredibly friendly and caring.

My mother cannot stand or walk therefore totally reliant on staff. Qualified nurses are, on the whole excellent, caring and compassionate, carrying out any interventions professionally. All staff are pleasant but carers not always 'caring' e.g items such as call bell, telephone etc left out of reach.
I recently found Mum with faeces under and around her nails suggesting that she had not been washed properly. The food is plonked in front of her but she cannot cut up many foods and uses her fingers to eat! The water jug is not changed regularly. Mum describes some staff as 'rough' when dressing her and putting her in her chair. The table in front of Mum is not cleaned.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.461)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.461) out of 10 for Castle View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 4.461 for Castle View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.461

  • 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 View Care Home is based on 21 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
