What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 27 October 2025 (assessment visit 5 September 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Date of assessment 15 September to 3 October 2025. Castleford Lodge provides accommodation for up to 60 older people who require nursing or personal care, some of whom may be living with dementia. At the time of our assessment 55 people were living at the service. A responsive assessment was carried out to review the service following concerns received. During our first site visit on 15 September, some call bell systems were not working. However, after raising concerns with the manager this was addressed. We found overall there was a strong culture of safety and saw concerns were raised and investigated. People were supported to have choice and control and give feedback on their care. Staffing levels were safe, and staff received appropriate support and supervision to carry out their role effectively. Medicines were managed and administered safely. The service had clear and effective governance systems in place. People were involved in assessments of their needs. Care was based on the latest evidence and good practice.
