Care Homes Owned by Trust Care Management Ltd in Essex

more settled than I have seen her since her dementia took hold of her. She was passing time by chatting to other residents. She flatly refused to communicate with anyone in her old home.
Whilst I was there she was given a nice cup of tea and offered some fresh biscuits. A carer came across and gave her daily medication and stood there whilst mum swallowed the tablets. This was done with care and it was explained that it was her medication not just 'chucked' at her.
Loads of staff were around at all times which is comforting for me as I physically saw that she's being looked after.
Only 4 stars as its early days.
So far so good

pressure caused her to be discharged too soon and within hours she was back for a battle with infection, a girdlestone procedure and a long drawn out process of wound healing which is ongoing. She has now been in Chelmsford Care Centre for almost one year. They are valiantly continuing this process and doing well.

loo or who were in distress, we saw staff scrolling on social media and laughing and joking amongst themselves whilst the residents were ignored. Mealtimes were chaotic and the quality of food poor. There were also staff with limited English, this impacted the residents directly and also had a negative effect on paperwork that staff needed to complete. My Dad's teeth were not brushed regularly and he was left in dirty clothes. There were often occasions when there was no soap or loo roll in the toilets. His belongings were just screwed up in draws in his room. It was very difficult to contact the home by phone, calls were not returned. Concerns were addressed in the first instant but poor practice quickly resumed. There are a few good carers in this home but a lot of lazy staff who like to blame each other rather than work as a team. My Dad has come back to life since leaving and moving to an excellent care home.
There is new management at this home and hopefully the service will improve. Visit your loved ones regularly and challenge!

stimulating & positive experiences with daily activities and outside acts. The home also celebrates important dates in the calendar as well as residents birthdays. I can only praise the staff for their support and kindness not only to my husband but to the whole of my family.

is always a warm welcome when I visit, help is on hand if I ask for it but they are also happy for me to care for her while I'm there. As hard as leaving her is, I know she is looked after and cared for when I'm not there which is all I
ask. The place is lovely, more like a hotel than a Care home, and well looked after. The rooms are spacious and welcoming and the food is good and plentiful. As much as I hate not being able to live and grow old together, I at least have the peace of mind of knowing that she is looked after far better than I could look after her. Thank you Chelmsford Care Centre.

in all decisions and was kept involved in all decisions, made to feel welcome by both day and night staff to visit at all times of the day and night. I also felt confident to leave my dad, knowing the staff would contact me regarding any changes

do it to the second patient who spat hers out also.This was raised with management & I was told it wasn't good enough & the nurse wouldn't be staying at the home.The floor manager said she wished to get rid of her &wanted it in writing so it would help her do this (?!) Only to find a few days later her still administering meds.Many occasions dad was given the wrong thickness food/drink.I witnessed this a lot with other patients on restricted diets also.The chef would often shout at the staff (often agency)as they weren't checking before putting the meals in front of the patients.Dads swallow reflux deteriorated but they would not arrange for a specialist to help dad unless I pushed for it

above and beyond to make him feel at home. They became like family to him, offering not only professional medical support but emotional care that gave him a sense of purpose and dignity. The dedication and kindness that the entire team shows him is beyond anything that we could hope for. It's clear that the team at Chelmsford Care Centre genuinely cares about each resident's well-being, and we as a family are so thankful for the positive impact they have had on my father's life. We will forever be grateful for the care and support he receives from everyone there.

giving her quality of life and making her life matter. The saying goes it takes a while village to raise a child, but this case it takes a people from all villages, towns, cities and countries of the world to love the most precious member of your family.

what they do and treat the the service users with warmth and kindness. They were always very welcoming and friendly when visiting and were able to converse about my father when required. The building itself is situated in a lovely country setting and very secure. It was always clean and well-maintained and the food always looked and smelt delicious.

have are dealt with promptly. I feel that he is safe and treated with respect and dignity. Home is well led and having been a nurse myself, I'm pleased with the high standard of this care facility - outstanding.

the current provider is of a high standard. We are kept informed of any problems. During a recent hospitalisation, Badgers staff were exemplary providing support for him and us, his parents. Facilities and food are of a high standard and my son is encouraged in many ways, including freedom to roam if he wants.
Staff are always welcoming when we visit. The administration of medication is very well organised in particular. Knowing that there is a fully qualified nurse on every shift is a comfort.
