Overall Experience

The clean outside space is calming and inviting, and through the doors, you are met with much the same - a lovely meeting area and beautiful gardens that any person would benefit from. All the staff and management have been nothing but fantastic - my dad's been 'well looked after, fed well and have

no issues, in fact it's been a great choice for him. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you.

Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Chiltern Grange Care Home

Overall Experience

My Father has been a resident at Chiltern Grange for a year now. He has Alzheimer's.
All the staff there are wonderful, every time we arrive we are met by happy smiling polite members of staff, who ask how we are and are willing to help us straight away.
The level of care, patience and compassion

my dad receives is incredible, the food is always delicious and the place is spotlessly clean.
When someone you love has this condition and you have to hand them over to strangers to be cared for it can be very distressing, but because of the care he is receiving we can all relax a bit. It really is so comforting for me, my dad's wife, his granddaughter, all the rest of my dad's family and his close friends, who visit on a regular basis.
I cannot thank every member of staff at Chiltern Grange enough for being the team they are.

Overall Experience

Over the past year, whenever we have visited our friend here, he has seemed increasingly comfortable and 'at home' and as visitors we too feel very at ease and welcome in the relaxed atmosphere such that we positively look forward to our regular visits. The staff are so attentive and, most importantly,

kind and patient in their care.

Overall Experience

My brother sufferers from Alzheimer's and mercifully my sister in law found Chiltern Grange .
The staff are exceptional people ! Nothing is too much trouble.
The building is tastefully furnished and you truly feel like you are in a hotel rather than a care home !
The meals are outstanding and the

attention to detail in the restaurant is so uplifting for the clients but their families too - flowers on the tables to name a few extra things that make it special .
I can sleep at night knowing my beloved brother is being well cared for and no harm will come to him in their care .
I only wish I was closer in distance to visit him more often .
A million thank you's to all the staff !

Reply from Jemimah Guinto, Home Manager at Chiltern Grange Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind words. As a team, we truly appreciate knowing that your brother feels at home and cared for. You and your family are always welcome at Chiltern Grange.

Overall Experience

My grandma has been at Chiltern Grange since March 2024 and I am so grateful for the care she receives. The staff are kind, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make residents feel safe and valued. The home is spotless, with beautifully kept courtyard gardens and spacious, homely rooms offering

lovely views of the grounds and surrounding fields. There's a welcoming bistro area for family and friends to enjoy refreshments with their loved ones. The chef is fantastic and the food is always freshly cooked and varied. There are always lots of fun, creative activities for residents, with regular entertainment and themed events like summer and Christmas parties with live music and family involvement. My grandma is treated with dignity and compassion every day. The management team are exceptional - kind, caring, and care deeply about the residents. Having experienced other care homes in the past, I can confidently say Chiltern Grange outshines them all.

Reply from Jemimah Guinto, Home Manager at Chiltern Grange Care Home

Thank you for your five star review. We work hard to ensure every aspect of life in our home is exemplary, from our food to the care we provide, so it is great to receive such validating feedback.

Overall Experience

My mother was in this home for six years and was really happy here. She never complained about anything. The low level of staff turnover meant that the staff all got to know her likes and dislikes and also got to know us. This was so unlike our experience of another care home. When she died, they were

so caring in a difficult situation.

Reply from Antonios Loumousiotis, Home Manager at Avondale Care Home

Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a review during this difficult time. It was an honour and a joy to have your mother with us, and our team miss her dearly. Please know you are always welcome at Avondale.

Overall Experience

We are deeply grateful for the gentle, compassionate care my mum is receiving at Chiltern Grange. As she nears the end of her life, every member of staff has shown extraordinary kindness, patience, and attention to detail. They treat her with dignity and respect, always taking time to ensure she's comfortable,

calm, and surrounded by warmth. From the way they speak to her, to the small comforts they remember - every gesture is filled with genuine care. The atmosphere is peaceful and reassuring, and it means the world to us to know she is in such capable, loving hands. Thank you for making this difficult time so much more bearable through your compassion and dedication.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words and for taking the time to share your experience. It means so much to every member of our team to know that the care we provided brought comfort and reassurance to you and your mum during such a sensitive time. It was an honour and a privilege to care for your mum and to support your family. She was a truly wonderful lady full of life, humour and warmth, and it was a joy getting to know her. She will be fondly remembered by all of us here. Your kind words about the dignity, respect and genuine warmth shown by our staff remind us why we do what we do each day. I will make sure your lovely feedback is shared with the whole team. It will bring them so much pride and encouragement.Thank you once again for sharing your experience and for placing your trust in us.

I visit my friend at the home very frequently, I'm very pleased to see how happy he is in the home. The staff are very friendly and professional. It's also very heart warming to see the residents interacting in the lounge and doing activities together. The management team is doing a splendid job even

taking time out to have conversations with the residents with their busy schedule.The manager has really turned thing around bring life back into the home. I wish him many years of good health and strength to continue to carry out the wonderful job he's doing along with his deputy.

Having been a visiting family member and now as volunteer at Woodland Manor, I continue to witness the dedication and kindness of staff towards the residents as well as the visiting family members and volunteers.

The programme of daily activities has good variation and are well organised, residents

are encouraged to join in and take part in as much as possible and family members made aware and invited to all the entertainment sessions which are well attended.

All in all, simply superb.

Really pleased with the home that is provided for Mum at Chiltern Grange - she has settled in really well and we have peace of mind knowing she is being looked after really well. The home is a very nice environment to visit and there are lots of activities provided for the residents --though Mum isn't

the best at joining in but at least she can if she wants to !

I would like to express my thanks and praise for the staff at Avondale. From the time I met the lady who showed me around, I and my friend were very impressed with the whole set up. On admission I was greeted by the receptionist, we were shown to my room & within a short tie you could tell that all

members of the team whatever status worked closely together as a united team, so unusual in this day & age. The professional friendly care is outstanding, they introduce themselves at the beginning of each shift & whether medical nursing, care, activities or psychological support is needed they are there giving confidence & expertise. I would recommend Avondale to anyone for rehab, respite or long term care.
