With huge help from management we were able to transfer our mother to Woodland Manor from Hospital after a months long stay. The staff welcomed here and she settled into a beautifully appointed room. Nothing is too much trouble and our mother has 24.7 care which is exemplary.

Woodland Manor Care Home
from Leo F (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We placed my mother in law in the care of Woodland Manor after she fell ill before Christmas and taken to hospital. From the very first day my mother in law has been looked after with so much care empathy and dedication from absolutely everyone in the care home . Special thanks to Carmen and Cristian

who helped so much in getting the placement at Woodksnd Manor and not forgetting the brilliant nurses on the Buckingham wing who are taking daily care of our mother in law especially Shannon and her colleagues. Woodland Manor has given us the family the respite we so greatly needed. We cannot recommend this care home highly enough

Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care HomeThank you for your feedback. I am glad we were able to support your mother-in-law and your family throughout this transition. I will be sure to share your kind praise with the rest of the team.

Review of
Chiltern Grange Care Home
from Helen P (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This is a comfortable, welcoming and efficient care home. My mum has been a resident here for nearly 2 years and she is very happy and very well looked after 24 hours of the day. Over that time the home have taken on board feedback and improvements/changes are evident so they act on, and encourage,

feedback which is a huge positive. The management are very visible and know the residents by name.
The decor is very relaxing and tasteful compared with other homes.
Activities are very good although I think more could be done here to engage residents in with more tailored activities in smaller groups. Example one group may be watching a film and another group, in a smaller area, doing some in chair exercises or painting or discussing the daily newspaper. I love the fact the carers get residents out into the communal lounge area as much as they can as well as eating together in the dining area.
Food/Drink is of a very high standard although I believe this could offer more variety.

Reply from Jemimah Guinto, Home Manager at Chiltern Grange Care HomeThank you for your feedback. It has been a joy and a pleasure to have your mum with us over the last two years, and I am glad she is happy at Chiltern Grange. We do our best to provide high-quality care, which involves taking the feedback of our residents and their loved ones on board, so it is great to hear you feel we do this well.

Overall Experience

I do not have enough words of thanks to express how grateful I am for the care and kindness everyone at Woodland Manor showed my mum. They are all compassionate, kind, patient and always smiling. The activities staff are amazing too, thinking up things to keep residents motivated and taking them on

great trips out. The support staff should also be mentioned, because the home was clean, well maintained and a varied menu available each meal time. I would thoroughly recommend Woodland Manor - my mum was very lucky to be there.

Review of
Chiltern Grange Care Home
from Keith W (Son of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our first introduction to Chiltern Grange was with Jackie. We needed very short notice rehabilitation care for my Father post surgery. Jackie was incredibly understanding and amazingly responsive. We viewed several options and selected Chiltern Grange based on the quality of the facilities , including

bright, practical and recently refurbished ground floor rooms. All the staff we met were very caring and welcoming. My father has decided to extend his stay at Chiltern Grange and has transitioned from rehabilitation to long term care based on his experiences over the last 3 months. Thank you to all the staff for the care and friendship you all extend to my father.

Reply from Jemimah Guinto, Home Manager at Chiltern Grange Care HomeThank you for your kind review. I am thrilled to hear your father enjoyed his time with us so much that he decided to stay - it is a pleasure having him with us.

Review of
Chiltern Grange Care Home
from Ed L (Husband of Resident) published on 24 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The care my wife has recieved over the past 9 months from the staff has been consistantly genuine which is very reassuring, she was previously in another care home where the staff were less interested in the residents.

The enthusiasm and direction from the management team provides a positive envoirenment

which is reflected by the staff in all parts of the home.

There are a range of facilities and and common rooms in the building providing alternative places which the residents and relatives can use, and very pleaseant gardens which means that residents can enjoy outside space and fresh air.

The residents rooms are spacious en-suite and well laid out.

It is not easy being parted from my wife but there is no difficulty seeing her whenever I want to visit., and most other visiting relatives of residents seem relaxed and comfortable to chat to which adds to a pleasant and natural atmosphere.

Reply from Jemimah Guinto, Home Manager at Chiltern Grange Care HomeThank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the care your wife has received over the past nine months with us. It's heartwarming to hear that our staff's genuine approach has made a positive impact on your experience. It is an honour to care for your wife.

Overall Experience

I act as Power of Attorney for an elderly friend who had suffered a fall at home. Following her operation, we needed a care home for respite and recovery. The management team were extremely welcoming and helpful in providing a room on short notice. The team have been very supportive in providing help

and making life that bit easier for my friend while she needs help.

Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care HomeThank you for leaving us a review. We take pride in providing the best possible care for all of our residents, regardless of how long their stay with us is.

Review of
Avondale Care Home
from Susan D (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Mum had previously stayed in Avondale for short periods of respite while we went on holiday, and she - and we - were always very happy with her care. Mum particularly appreciated the activities, the meals and the beautiful decor of the rooms and communal areas.

When her health declined rapidly

during the summer and she needed residential care, we were so glad that there was availability at Avondale for Mum. The management did all they could to find familiar accommodation for her at short notice and even extended their regular admission hours to be able to receive her from hospital. The same staff whose company she had enjoyed in past visits nursed her compassionately and attentively during her final weeks, always willing to go the extra mile. They cared for us and comforted us too, when it was clear Mum's life was coming to a close.

We cannot thank the staff enough for all they did. Nurses, reception, management, caterers and especially Yellow - you know who you are. Thank you.

Reply from Antonios Loumousiotis, Home Manager at Avondale Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review. It was our pleasure to care for your mum - please know that you are always welcome here at Avondale Care Home. I look forward to sharing your feedback with our team.

Woodland Manor Care Home
from Tracey K (Friend of Resident) published on 5 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Woodland Manor Care Home held a World Food Day with a Turkish theme, complete with traditional music and dance. The food as ever was simply delicious, a good selection of traditional Turkish dishes which were enjoyed by all in attendance. The combination of traditional music and dancer worked well with

plenty of enthusiastic engagement by residents and visitors alike resulting in dancing, drum beating, clapping and a lot of smiling faces. In all a very well organised activity that proved to be popular with a good attendance by residents, all of which was well supported by staff and visitors. Thanks Woodlands for an uplifting afternoon!

Review of
Avondale Care Home
from Richard A (Husband of Resident) published on 29 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My wife was a resident at Avondale for 18+ months up to July 2025. Putting someone so close into care brings many extreme emotions and concerns. Avondale could not have handled our situation better. With respect, dignity and warmth. During this time, not only did they make my wife feel at home, but

they became a home from home for my family and I too. The people there are a credit to themselves. Management, staff and carers have become our friends. When my wife passed away, I felt a gratitude that her last days were spent in these surroundings. I will be eternally grateful.

Reply from Antonious Loumousiotis, Home Manager at Avondale Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave such a kind and thoughtful review of Avondale. It was an honour to care for your wife and support you both. Our thoughts are with you at this time. You are always welcome at Avondale.
