    Review

    Castro Village Care Home is praised as a good place for elderly individuals, particularly those who require assistance and have difficulty walking. The reviewer mentions that their mother recently lost the ability to walk in May 2020 and was subsequently moved to a board and care facility in September. Despite the adjustment period, the caregivers at Castro Village provide the attention and care needed for their loved ones.

    The dedicated staff takes care of all medications, ensuring that residents receive the necessary treatment promptly. This level of support has greatly benefited the reviewer's mother. However, she continues to struggle with accepting that this may be her final destination. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it remains uncertain whether her mobility will improve enough for her to potentially move elsewhere.

    The building itself presents a few challenges. Housed within an old house, each room features its own porta potty, but there is only one bathroom available in a narrow hallway. This layout restricts wheelchair access to one direction at a time. While the reviewer acknowledges that this aspect could be improved by reconstructing or expanding the structure, they still consider Castro Village Care Home overall satisfactory.

    Despite these constraints, Castro Village Care Home stands out as a commendable facility. The staff members exhibit genuine love and care towards their residents while maintaining professionalism. The reviewer expresses appreciation for the well-executed services provided by the dedicated team.

    The reviewer suggests that improvements should be made to accommodate more residents comfortably without compromising space. Currently housing six women from diverse backgrounds, this group represents the first cohort of its kind at Castro Village Care Home. The only hindrance appears to lie in structural limitations such as the narrow hallway leading to the bathroom.

    Additionally, praise is given for the quality of food offered at Castro Village Care Home. Residents enjoy nutritious and delicious meals, enhancing their overall experience within the facility. Furthermore, it is noted that pricing at Castro Village Care Home remains competitive within the market.

    In conclusion, while Castro Village Care Home provides excellent care and attention for individuals with mobility challenges, there are structural limitations that could be improved upon. However, the facility boasts a dedicated team of caregivers who go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and well-being of their residents. With nutritious meals, competitive pricing, and a diverse community of residents, Castro Village Care Home remains a favored choice for families seeking compassionate care for their loved ones.
