About Castlewellan House

Castlewellan House is a residential care home in Dudley, offering older people a place to call home in a familiar part of the West Midlands. Families looking into care options here will find a setting that aims to provide personal, attentive support in a comfortable environment. It can be a reassuring step to know that a care home is close to the community where your loved one has roots, and Castlewellan House sits right in the heart of that local connection.

Castlewellan House provides personal care to up to 18 older people, with 17 residents at the time of inspection. The home spans two floors with a lift for those with mobility needs, and bedrooms feature ensuites. A newly refurbished garden at the back offers a quiet social space for residents.

Inspectors identified concerns with medicines management, including how controlled medicines were monitored and records maintained. Care plans and risk assessments were being transferred to a new system, and while care plans were person-centred, guidance for staff could be improved. A notable gap existed in the manager and provider's knowledge regarding reporting incidents to the local authority.

There was a lack of activities taking place, with inspectors observing that at times people were disengaged.
