Chiseldon Care Home

My great friend has been in Seahorses for over a year now. She has truly blossomed - she is very happy and contented. The staff and management are excellent - very caring. The food and general care are of a very high standard. There is a lovely, homely atmosphere, and I would recommend the home/nursing care to anyone. A very special place indeed.

I can't fault the level of care my father receives. I think I made a good choice in picking this home.

Having researched nearly every care home in the area, the rationale behind our choice of Seahorses Care Home was as follows. It was conveniently located with beautiful views. The room we chose was particularly pleasant. The property, in general, was homely and didn't have the corporate feel of some of the larger national care home groups we visited. It is a standalone business with a sole proprietor and we feel it is always preferable to deal with the owner of the business directly, which we were able to do. Indeed it was the owner who visited and did the initial assessment in person. We were impressed with him, his attitude, ethos and personality. Talking with the staff at our initial viewing some of them had been there 20 plus years. They were obviously happy in their work. Whilst we sometimes felt that at times they were short-staffed we could never fault the standard of personal care they provided to my mother, which was everything we could have wished for. Sadly it was a brief residence but with the benefit of hindsight, we remain happy that we made the best possible choice in using Seahorses Care Home.

As a family, we can finally relax knowing she is receiving excellent full-time care in a caring and happy environment.

The staff and management at Seahorses Care Home are excellent with the care of my Dad who can be very difficult and aggressive to look after. They treat him with care and dignity at all times, even difficult ones. Not only do they care for Dad, they are a great support to me and my family.

Seahorses care home, staff and owner have provided my mother with a dedicated, professional home. She is well fed, clean, cared for with kindness and humour. As a family, we could not ask for a better place for my mother to be.

My wife has been a resident in Seahorses Care Home for the last 5 and a half years. For the last 12 months, she has been entirely bed-ridden and the care that she has been given for all this time has been truly fantastic.

I visited her this morning and they informed me that she is now suffering from a chest infection and that in their opinion, she is now nearing the end of her life. Her doctor will be visiting this afternoon.

We continue to be extremely impressed by Seahorses and the level of care provided, often in very difficult circumstances due to the nature of the illness. There is a very good level of personal attention given. The care is very genuine and heartfelt. Food and drink are great with a good supply and when required help is able to be given to eat. We are always made to feel very welcome whenever we visit, which is very often.

Everything seems to be running ok.

The family of our mum have been pleased with the level of care given. They provide a high level of care (personal) Happy, friendly and make everyone welcome, in sometimes difficult situations. The food is very good and we would recommend this home to everyone. In the 2 1/2 years, mum has been there it's lovely to have continuity of the same staff working there.

I really like the way that the home has kept the same staff throughout the time my friend has been there and I have got to know all of them really well. There is no unpleasant smell at all in the house and my friend is always bathed with her hair washed ready to go out to lunch with us. The food is really good and I would recommend this home to everyone.

I find the atmosphere to be very pleasant and my friend's room is very clean and comfortable.

Mental health took me to 2 different homes - I chose this one and am glad I did. I can relax a bit now knowing she is well looked after.

My mother has been at Seahorses Care Home for a year now and from day one she has been very settled there, enjoying the food and company of staff and other residents. The atmosphere is relaxed and happy and we have always been made to feel welcome to visit at any time. We are always kept informed of her care as the progression of her dementia has reduced her physical and mental ability. As anyone who has had to make the huge decision to place their loved one in a care home knows, it is a worrying time particularly when you have to make the decision for them due to the nature of dementia, but we have no regrets in choosing Seahorses for mum.
