Questions families ask
Are nurses on site day and night?
Yes. Nurses are present day and night, providing continuous clinical oversight and helping the team recognise changes in residents’ health early.
How is care planned for each resident?
Care follows the “All About Me” philosophy, so decisions are guided by each resident’s needs, preferences and personal circumstances rather than fixed routines.
How much does Castle View cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Castle View for its weekly fee. As a guide, Dorset council paid on average £1,282 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
