Overall Experience

When choosing a care home it can be daunting but Chorleywood Manor makes it easier ! My mum has been in the residential room where you look after yourself and have independence for the last two months. I looked at around 10 other potential places and found that this place offered the best overall feel

initially. Of course it takes some time to gauge how it's going to work out but all I can say is I'm very pleased with the outcome for my mum and also for myself. I know over ten members of staff now personally and have found everyone to be of outstanding character. There is plenty of daily entertainment and I feel that all of the staff I have met, whatever their role is, care about what they are doing.
I would fully recommend Chorleywood Manor to anyone.

Reply from Tracy Moore, Client Liaison Manager at Chorleywood Manor Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so glad you chose us for your Mum and we love having her here with us and yourself as a member of our extended family.

I found the management very approchable and caring. Don't always find carers to my liking especially agency but overall good.

Overall Experience

Sadly my lovely 98 year old mother fell at home and broke her hip. After a successful hip replacement at the hospital and rehabilitation at Hemel, which was a waste of time, I found Elstree view for a months respite care. From the moment I walked into the lovely home and met the incredibly helpful managers

and staff, I knew it was a perfect home for my mother..we are now 3 weeks into respite care and there is no way my mother could go back to her home, therefore she has decided to become a full time resident and enjoy the care that Elstree View offers.

Reply from Stevie Pugsley, Director of Community Relations at Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection

It's wonderful to hear that she's found such a supportive and caring environment at Elstree View. It sounds like the team here have really made a positive impact on both her well-being and your peace of mind. It must be a huge relief to know that she's in a place where she's comfortable and well looked after. I'm sure the decision to stay full-time was not easy, but it's great that she's able to enjoy the care and attention she deserves. Wishing your mom continued comfort and recovery in her new home.

Overall Experience

My mother initially arrived at Elstree for respite care in July 2024, after she had had a fall and broken her hip. As she has been so happy there and well looked after, she decided to stay permanently. My mother is very sociable and could sometimes get very lonely at home, so it's been wonderful to

see how much happier she is now. She has made lots of lovely friends and the staff are outstanding. They all genuinely care and nothing is too much trouble. All her medical needs are looked after by the excellent in-house nurses and the accommodation is newly furnished to a high-spec. My mother really enjoys the food and the entertainment laid on is regular and to a high standard. The surrounding gardens are very pretty and a nice place to have tea in the afternoons when the weather is nice. My family and I couldn't be happier with the way my mother is being cared for and feel very lucky to have found Elstree. Thank you to all the staff for making my mother's transition so smooth!

Reply from Stevie Pugsley, Director of Community Relations at Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection

It's wonderful to hear how well your mom has adjusted to life at Elstree View after her fall. It must have been a tough time initially, but it sounds like she's found a truly supportive and nurturing environment. The fact that she's made so many lovely friends and feels genuinely cared for is such a comfort to us.The combination of great medical care, high-quality accommodation, and enjoyable activities really seems to be making a big difference in her happiness and well-being. It's clear the staff have been incredible in making her feel welcomed and at ease, which can sometimes be the most important factor when making such a big transition.

Overall Experience

Dad's Care Home was originally known as 'Sunrise' it was taken over by 'Signature' and latterly it's run by 'Avery'. The home has recently had a complete makeover in all communal areas and bedrooms; it looks really luxurious. The Home is on two floors and guests with dementia, needing more intensive

care, live on the second floor. The Care Home has always been very welcoming and attentive. Especially the home's Manager and her staff, who have all been wonderful to my father, throughout his stay. The medical support has been excellent and communication is very good, too. Picturesque setting at Elstree View and adequate parking. We are very happy and we thoroughly recommend this Home. I do have concerns that some key staff have left and this could have been avoided. Overall, Elstree View are doing a great job, thank you.

Reply from Stevie Pugsley, Director of Community Relations at Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection

Overall Experience

My parents moved into the home 12 years ago, when they were still active and mobile. They enjoyed their independence while at the same time feeling safe in a protected environment. As they became less able to fend for themselves, they relied more on the care and services offered to them, especially

as illnesses began to surface. I have always found the staff friendly and caring and always there to help. Now that my mother is on her own, she still feels secure, receiving all the care that she needs. I feel happy that she is being well looked after and I can visit her at any time.

Reply from Stevie Pugsley, Director of Community Relations at Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection

It sounds like Elstree View has really been a good fit for your parents, offering them the independence they valued while also providing the care they needed as their health changed. It's wonderful to hear that your mother still feels secure and well cared for, even after your father's passing. That sense of safety and comfort, especially in a time of transition, is so important.

Overall Experience

My mum started her time at Elstree View in Assisted Living and has now been in Orchids for a year. Her care is wonderful. The staff are kind and caring and my mum is very content and happy. They seem to know what she needs and when and you can see by and way mum responds to the carers she trusts and

loves them. When she can, she joins in with activities but she is happiest in her room being cared for. Thank you to all the staff in Orchids and to all the staff who help and support her.

Reply from Stevie Pugsley, Director of Community Relations at Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message. It means the world to all of us here at Elstree View, especially the team in The Orchids, to know that your mum feels happy, safe, and cared for. We feel truly privileged to be part of her journey and to provide the support she needs. Seeing her content and knowing that she trusts us is the greatest reward we could ask for. Our team strives to make each day as comfortable and joyful as possible for our residents, and it's incredibly encouraging to hear that those efforts are felt and appreciated.

The staff are always on hand and very attentive to my father and stepmother's needs. Nothing appears to be too much trouble, and the staff are always responsive to questions raised. The quality of the food is satisfactory but the service could improve slightly by serving hot food. Overall, very happy

with the service provided.

Reply from Stevie Pugsley, Director of Community Relations at Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear that your father and stepmother feel well cared for and that our team has been attentive and responsive to their needs. That's exactly the standard we strive for every day. We also appreciate your comments about the food service. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable, and we will certainly look into ways we can ensure meals are served hotter and more promptly. Your suggestions help us grow and improve.

Overall Experience

My relative has moved into Elstree View Care home in early March when she was discharged from a recent admission to hospital. The whole process has been brilliant. All the staff that I have met so far are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The admission process was done so efficiently - from viewing the

Home to admission was less than a week. Her care has been exemplary. The food is plentiful and tasty with good choice. The building, communal areas and individual rooms are beautiful - freshly decorated with continuing decorating happening in some areas. The entertainment is varied and staff help her to become involved in activities, if she wishes. The clinical and medical care is regular and far easier to access than when she was at home. We feel she is much better looked after 24/7 and much safer in the Home than with a carer in her own home.

Reply from Stevie Pugsley, Director of Community Relations at Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection

We are pleased that your overall experience was a positive one. We understand that the process for finding the right care setting for your loved one can be difficult and we aim to make this as easy and stress free as possible. Thank you for your feedback on our newly refurbished communal areas and bedrooms , we are very proud of our home and glad you are as well. I will be sure to share your feedback with the team.

Chorleywood Manor Care Home - Avery Collection
from D K (Son of Resident) published on 8 April 2025

Overall Experience

Having looked around a few care homes locally I was impressed with how the place felt as I walked in. The reception area was bright and open and seemed very grand with a welcome smile from the concierge. The Bistro area is a very nice place to meet people in a more quiet setting to chat. The list of

daily and weekly events provided was comprehensive and I was surprised at how much space there was and differing areas for residents to either sit and relax or be part of communal activities. Not the usual sitting/ dining area only. Residents are encouraged to join in the daily events and I feel there are more carers / general staff around than actual residents which means there is a calm atmosphere with people on hand at all times. From the perspective of someone who visits rather than resides, I can recommend it.

Overall Experience

Chorleywood Manor.has provided a comfortable, safe and very well run environment for our relative.
The staff are all lovely, caring, and always treat the residents as individuals.
Any initial "teething problems" were promptly sorted.
We have spent many hours visiting our relative, also taking her

to various appointments, hospital, outings etc. and all necessary arrangements, including medication needed while away from Chorleywood Manor were carried out cheerfully and efficiently. We were never made to feel a nuisance when visiting.
Thank you to all!
(Have given "safety" a lower score than is really deserved because during a recent power cut there is no alternative lighting source in rooms/bathrooms should power fail and panic in some residents could have resulted in injury.)

My Father has been staying at Chorleywood Manor for just over a year now. He is very happy there and extremely well looked after. All the staff are exceptionally friendly, and professional. The entertainment is excellent and there is always something going on to help while away the time. The food

Putting any loved one in a care home is one of the hardest thing a family member will have to do, but going through the process with Chorleywood Manor Care Home was a lovely experience and I cannot thank them enough.
The admission process was thorough and smooth in every way. The staff were fantastic

with any worries we had.
Chorleywood Manor Care Home provided us with all the information we needed, as well as providing the highest of standards for our relative.
We were able to ensure they felt like it was home from home which eased our worries in every way.
All the staff have been lovely and it is clear to see they all take pride in their roles making sure everyone is happy and have everything they need. We are notified if there are any problems or issues that need to be discussed and updates on their progress.
The home is clean and tidy always and feels a warm and welcoming environment when you are there. Nothing is too much trouble when you ask.
Outstanding work everyone.
