Chestfield House

from Janet B (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Thank you to all the staff at Chestfield House for the care they give my mum during the last few weeks of her life. Mum came to you Christmas Eve, from hospital. Her last Christmas was special. The family were welcome and we were able to sit in the dining room with her. The staff treated mum with care,
compassion and respect, as they did to all the residents. As I live so far away when mum wasn't strong enough to answer my face time calls they arranged a member of staff to be there to help. They took their time to talk on the phone when I called. The room was lovely and food looked delicious. Everywhere was clean. Thank you again

Harbledown Lodge Nursing Home

from donald F (Son of Resident) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum recently moved in with full time, because of the progression of Vascular/Alzheimers Dementia and also because of limited mobility to her hip via Osteoarthritis. She was previously extremely independent/sociable and her moving in with us had not been particularly straightforward. Been looking
for some respite care over Christmas. I was really anxious/guilty about this, since it would be her first time away from our care. Delighted to say that it worked very smoothly and she had clearly enjoyed her stay. Very thorough registration/induction process, particularly in terms of her meds as well as asking her the activities and foods that she liked. All handled by Centre Manager. Care staff I met and observed were very attentive and caring. It's really lovely building with great views. One thing that I picked up on was that carers has taken time to apply cream for dry skin which they could have easily skipped on without anyone noticing. Hoping to come again.

Chestfield House

from Sandra A (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum went into Chestfield House for 2 weeks respite, As we were trying to care for her at home. This relief was noticeable very quickly. Mum loved the room & the bed. The staff & nurses were friendly & very kind to Mum. I was able to be a daughter & not a carer. The same for my Dad. Her last few days
were tough & heartbreaking but made all the more less stressful by the love & attention she received from everyone. They are a wonderful team and should all get a payrise! Thank you so much.

My husband was treated with dignity, respect and care by all the staff during his stay, as were our family.
I was treated particularly well, being fed and watered while visiting my dying husband. The food was nice with plenty of variety.
The home is spotlessly clean and I could not fault it.
There
are plenty of activities too for those who wanted it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are amazing and have to put up with a stroppy mum sometimes. They always ring me or text me when mum doesn't feel well and they can get a doctor to her faster than waiting at A and E. Mum loves the music afternoons and once arrived as she was playing balloon tennis. The activities are always
a great laugh and frequent visits from the lovely Labrador and various children who visit the elderly. Some wonderful days out are arranged but mum not wanting to join in but that is her choice. Thank you carers you are amazing
Reply from Kerry Johnson, Manager at Dale LodgeThank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that your mum enjoys the music afternoons, activities, and visits from our furry and young friends! Our team always aims to respond quickly and ensure her health and well-being are prioritised, so it's wonderful to know you feel supported.
Your feedback really means a lot to the team and will be shared with them - they truly are amazing and dedicated to making each day enjoyable for her.
