About Castleford House Nursing Home

Castleford House Nursing Home provides nursing care near Chepstow, close to the Gloucestershire border. We support older people, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people managing mental health conditions, and we also offer respite stays for shorter periods of care. Having qualified nurses here means people can remain with us as their health needs change rather than facing another move, which matters enormously to families who have already been through one. But we would rather be judged on the ordinary texture of the day than on anything clinical. Whether somebody was helped at their own pace. Whether the food was something they actually wanted. Whether their room feels like theirs. Whether they were asked rather than told. Dementia care is a significant part of our work. Familiar staff, routines that change only when there is a reason and the patience to sit with somebody rather than hurry them. We treat distress as communication rather than as behaviour to be managed, and we ask families in detail about history and habits, because that information is often what makes the present make sense. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. That judgement came largely from what our residents and their families told the inspectors, which is why it means something to us. We do not treat it as finished business, because standards slip quietly wherever nobody keeps looking. If you are considering a nursing home for a relative, please come and visit and judge us for yourself.
