"My brother has complex needs but these are all met and exceeded by the wonderful staff at Barchester Castle Park Care Home. The activities are many and varied, including an upcoming trip to the theatre and previously, trips to support our local rugby league team. Cannot praise the staff enough in their approach and understanding of my brother's appalling sense of humour!"

"The staff, be they nurses or carers, were not trained for autonomic dysreflexia and the simple lack of knowledge can lead to death (reader please research). Lack of continuity in daily care. Food is slop and boring. Prescriptions - items (e.g. night bags) can be taken for others leaving a shortage - dangerous for a paraplegic to not be spotlessly clean. The list is endless."

"My brother lived in Barchester Castle Park Care Home for twenty-one years and was cared for very well by all the staff. I wanted to pay particular attention to how the last three months of his life were, he was cared for in an excellent manner and loved by the staff. I would not have wanted him anywhere else and I will always be eternally grateful."

"Our son had an assessment for a new electric wheelchair, the staff tried for over 3/4 hours to get a wheelchair taxi for 8:15am, none available, it was their turn for the "home's" minibus a licenced driver was on shift, the management offered to take him as apps are hard to get, and would be a long time for another app, so grateful - gone that extra mile, thank you so much."

"My brother had an important appointment this morning and there were no wheelchairs/taxis available, but they have a bus that they use for outings, and one of the ladies made herself available to take my brother and our parents to the appointment. We really appreciate it and all that you do for him. Thank you very much."

"My mother-in-law wasn't in a good place with her problem before she started to live at Castle Park. She had both a leg amputated and the doctors said she won't live long. From her staying at Castle Park, the infection in her leg is getting a lot better. My mother-in-law is almost back to herself. The care she receives is the most amazing. Thank you to every staff member in Castle Park."

"I go to the home to see my son and I see the staff working, noone stops. Then go out with the resident to shop. They have done more for my son than the hospital did. I am pleased with the staff they are good."

"I think Barchester Castle Park Care Home is very well-run and it is very well-managed, also well staffed. Since my daughter moved to Castle Park, she has been well looked after and is very happy being there. As I say to other people, it's not home from home but your loved one will be well looked after."

"Castle Park has been a wonderful place to stay for respite care for my daughter. She is always very happy to go, and everyone makes a fuss of her and says "hello, glad to see you back". From the manager to the nurses and care staff and cleaners - everyone is so helpful. Always willing to listen and help wherever they can. Nothing is too much trouble, which makes it easier for me. The activities team are first class. Keep up the good work Castle Park."

"My son has been at this nursing home for nearly a year not and during that time he has been treated with the utmost kindness and care. His problems with his care are more than met and I can relax a lot knowing he is well looked after."

"We, as a family, are always very appreciative of the very high standard of care that is provided. The staff treat my wife with the utmost care and dignity. We cannot praise both the staff and management for the peace of mind that my wife is both safe and well cared for."

"I was very worried about my brother going away from the family home where I had kept him as safe as I could for nine years. However, the management at Barchester Castle Park Care Home were reassuring and he settled well before he died which means a great deal to me."

"Staff are always helpful, recently we had a bereavement and a carer took my sister to the funeral of our brother and stayed all day. Nothing was too much trouble for the carer, her attention to my sister was outstanding. This carer was a top-notch girl and such a credit to Barchester Castle Park Care Home. For someone so young her attention and empathy amazed me and my family."

"Our son has been going to Castle Park for respite for a few months now. He always enjoys his stay and looks forward to his next stay. The staff and management are always helpful if we have a query. We had been looking for somewhere that our son likes as he is our main priority. Finally, we have somewhere that we are happy to take him to, and he is very happy to go. I have just asked him what he likes about Castle Park, and he said the staff spoil him, and the food is fantastic."

"The staff are brilliant, from day 1 my son was treat like a member of a big family. The staff, led by the manager, were friendly, caring and nothing was too much trouble. In the final days, my son had really liked it there and despite his physical condition and mentally stubborn, all the girls were well aware of what was happening and were polite and caring. The building is cleaned thoroughly and daily and the food was homecooked on-site and was delicious. Cannot speak for anywhere else but our experience was excellent for the short time my son was there."

"Despite only being a resident for 7 months, the staff (all of them) were really dedicated to the care of all the residents. The facilities are superb and the food is prepared onsite. My stepson and the others were treated like a big family. As his health declined, the carers were lovely and gave him a lot of attention. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Castle Park. So understanding, caring and considerate."

"The quality and support given to my son who can be extremely difficult have been superb. The staff are friendly, approachable and caring. Whilst all are professional in their dedication there are many at least 2 in my experience who have gone above and beyond their call of duty to assist in what has been an extremely distressing year in many ways, not least through the pandemic but also by offering outstanding emotional support. I thank the management and all the wonderful selfless staff for all they do, have done and I am confident will continue to do. Such dedication is rare!"

"Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions myself and the rest of the family have not been able to enter Castle Park Care Home so it is difficult to make subjective judgements to the options. Generally, staff have been friendly and accommodating when we have arranged outside visits which is fortunate as these have been in the summer months. Provision of inside accommodation for visits has recently opened and is welcomed. The downside for us is that rehabilitation therapy is not available as we understand because of the Covid restrictions and this has hampered his recovery which had commenced just before he was discharged from hospital to Castle Park. Communication is satisfactory and we are kept well informed of our son's variable mental state."

"My sister has been in care for over 1 and a half years and has been well cared for. My only issue is with her incontinence, her pads need changing more often as my mum does her washing, and her trousers are often soaked in urine."
