Review from D H (Son of Resident) published on 3 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident in Charlton House for 6 1/2 years. During this time the staff have done a magnificent job looking after Mum. Mum has been very happy living in Charlton House. The staff are very kind and caring, not only to my Mum but from my observations of all the other residents. The management and staff are very professional and patient carrying out their tasks which can be difficult, but always try to maintain a family atmosphere within the home. The staff are very prompt seeking help from the doctors if needed. The food is freshly cooked and Mum is always telling me that she enjoys it very much. The staff are always very welcoming to us and keep us informed. I would have no hesitation recommending Charlton House because family members are well looked after.

Review from Rob S (Brother of Resident) published on 3 July 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The best thing about Charlton House is the staff. My brother arrived there in pain and hence with challenging behaviour. Their care has brought his pain under control and reduced the need for painkillers. My brother is now much calmer and back to normal.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
