Kenwith is an amazing care home. It could not be better. My mum has received expert care at a time in her life when she really needs sensitive care and attention. All the staff are extremely supportive of our whole family at this difficult time, and are always there for a hug if I need it too! We are kept informed of Mum's health needs and we work together to navigate the complex care systems in place! We have all built lovely relationships with the staff, and Kenwith really does feel like at home.

My Mum receives a very high standard of care in this beautiful setting. There are many activities and there is a family feel despite the size. It is such a relief to be sure that my Mum is safe and being cared for so well. Thank you to all the staff, you are wonderful.

My dad has been a resident at Kenwith for just over a year, and I'm so impressed with the care and community. Making the decision to place a loved one in a care home is never easy, but it has given my dad a new lease on life. The management team is so friendly and approachable, the reception team are always so welcoming and the care team are fantastic, treating my dad with dignity and respect. The activities team is incredible, offering a wide variety of engaging activities for the residents. The home is always spotlessly clean! A special thank you to the Christmas Day team, who went above and beyond to ensure the residents had a wonderful celebration - my family and I were so impressed. Knowing my dad is cared for in such a supportive and vibrant community, surrounded by beautiful grounds, has been a huge comfort to me and my family. We always feel so welcome when we visit. Thank you to everyone at Kenwith Castle for everything you do!

My Mum has been a resident here for 3 years. This lovely home was our first choice for Mum. Lovely, clean, safe and well-managed. All the staff are amazing and always there for Mum and us. We wouldn't want her to be in any other home.

My father has been a resident at Kenwith Castle Country House Care since May 2024, firstly for respite care and then permanently. He has been so well looked after since day one. The staff are amazing. They pass his door every few minutes, with always a wave, a hello and a smile. His quality of life has improved dramatically, from seeing very few people to being part of a community. Yesterday, Christmas Day, we visited in the morning to find a wonderful homely atmosphere, with all the staff making us feel like a family. I am so sure that Dad is in the best place, with the best possible care.

My Mum came to Kenwith Castle for respite care after having a hip replacement. She also has mild dementia. She was more confused after the operation. The staff have been excellent in making my Mum feel comfortable relaxed and at home while staying at Kenwith. It was exactly what my Mum was looking for and needed after the operation. Her room has a great view of the lake. Our family has really enjoyed visiting and using the facilities like the pub and the coffee shop. Their facilities make visiting fun. My mum loved all the social activities on daily.

All good and looked after in respite very well.

This was one week's respite, everything was good and I would come back again for future respite care.

I moved to Kenwith Castle a month ago having lived independently up until then. I feel there are more restrictions than I thought there would be, however, understandably this is to keep others safe. Having the grounds has been a positive experience as I go round on my scooter multiple times a day. I really look forward to the weekly quiz and crossword activities. The carers and staff are really friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. I feel very settled here.

Since my father came to Kenwith Castle we have been very impressed with how well looked after and the level of service he gets. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The activities especially are really good. The quiz night tonight was really good fun. Thank you.

Kenwith is a lovely care home in a beautiful setting. My mother stayed here for a short respite break and was very well-cared for. All of the staff, without exception, that we encountered were very kind, friendly and professional. They responded promptly to my mother's needs and treated her with respect and as an important individual. My mother returned home in a much improved mental and emotional capacity. Thank you to all of your lovely caring staff.

I am being cared for with both due diligence and patience. Both by night and day. Nothing is too much trouble. The hospital and re-habilitation centre could learn a lot from the example of patient experience at Kenwith Castle. I am most grateful to all concerned - cheers! I do not have enough experience to grade as to value for money - sorry.

My parents told me how friendly many of the staff were, and how they made Mum hot drinks in the middle of the night when she couldn't sleep. Early on, the food was lovely and they enjoyed having a 3-course meal. However, for Sunday lunch a couple of days before they left the beef was tough and they were not offered a starter or dessert.

When my mum moved to Kenwith a year ago, after suddenly finding herself wheelchair-bound, she struggled to adjust to the loss of her own home, independence and mobility. She had always said she would never go into care and it hit her hard. The kind and supportive care team have gone above and beyond to help her to settle in, and to allow her as much independence as possible and people remark on how well she looks now. Lately she is much more cheerful and has made friends, and she loves the geese, peacocks and nature outside her door. She speaks highly of the carers who always seem to go the extra mile for her and stop to chat when they can. The home is clean and always smells fresh, and I am so grateful to know she is safe and well cared for.

Staff are friendly and helpful they also have a sense of humour, which is essential in this profession. Care is professional with a personal touch. The surroundings are light and spacious and are like a home from home.
