Charnwood House

I will always be grateful to Charnwood for looking after my dad so well.

The care my Mother-in-law received at Charnwood House was first class. She was treated respectfully at all times and the staff seemed genuinely concerned for her well being at all times. The end of care treatment she received was exemplary. The staff were always available and helpful to visitors, in my experience, and answered any questions honestly and fully.

Where to start?! My mum went into Charnwood House November 2023, I was very apprehensive about her moving into a care home but I know I couldn't look after her anymore. However, I can safely say that immediately mum was made to feel at home, her photos were put on the wall on the same day as she moved in, and I was assured they would look after mum for me. This is exactly what they did do. So very kind and caring and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. I was welcomed in to be part of the Charnwood family. Amazing staff, from management to care workers so supportive in all aspects even after mum passed away. Thank you.

My nan was a resident at Charnwood House for 15 months and during her time there she was well-looked after and cared for, the staff were wonderful with her making sure her needs were catered for and she was never alone during the day. She was encouraged to engage with the activities and made lots of lovely friends whilst she was there. Several of the carers went above and beyond their job role and duties to ensure that the last week of my nan's life she was well attended to and for that our family will always be grateful.

We are very happy with our experience of Charnwood House. My dad was well looked after, showered every day, shave every other day, clothes changed every day. My dad enjoyed the meals and looked well fed. The staff are all so friendly and caring. The room well equipped and clean. A big thank you to all at Charnwood House. Looking forward to using Charnwood House in the near future.

I would recommend Charnwood to anyone that needed care

I have not visited a care home since 1985 when my mother was a resident. I was a bit apprehensive about assessing care homes for my husband who has dementia. A social worker advised me to look at the staff not the decor to decide what was required. I asked staff how long they had been employed at Charnwood and found some had been there 5 and 9 years which was reassuring. The staff are very caring and look after my husbands needs. They are patient with him he is well fed and his personal hygiene is excellent. The decor is satisfactory.

Honestly, my mum has vascular dementia and what a complete turnaround. Obviously, she still has dementia but since my mum started residing in Charwood she has gone from strength to strength. She engages with people, laughs - I feel as though I have my mum back. The care team are excellent food, rooms and entertainment all brilliant. Thank you all so much forever in your debt.

Since moving here in November 2024, our mum has come on leaps and bounds. We have peace of mind she is in a safe, well-run establishment. The staff are polite, professional and helpful always looking happy in their role as caregivers. Excellent!

Mum has been at Charnwood House for two years now. She is very well looked after and all the carers are kind and friendly. Mum's room is always clean and tidy as are the lounge areas. The only issues we have had is that some items have gone missing over time but understand that this is inevitable.

Facilities, food and staff all first rate and can't recommend enough. Always confident that on any visit mum will be happy to see us and so lovely to have piece of mind to know that mum is cared for and safe.

I can't recommend strongly enough.

Absolutely lovely staff, and very professionally run. My mum was well looked after, made great connections with the staff, even though she was only there a short time. Staff are always on hand to speak too. They have a great connection with the clients.

My dear mum was a resident. Unfortunately, we lost our dear mum on Monday 19th August. There was so much going on I always enjoyed visiting and seeing her laughing. Entertainment was brilliant music, films, baby chicks being hatched, fetes, parties, Xmas parties so so much going on. My mum had the best time of her life at Charnwood and I will miss all the wonderful staff. On behalf of my dear mum and family, I am beyond words for the care you gave to her and us as a family, and will miss you all dearly. I cannot thank you all enough for everything and will miss you all at Sycamore Lodge which my mum and our family loved too. So behalf of myself, my sister, and my brother we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the amazing time my mum had with you it was like one big holiday. Many thanks and love to you all for the amazing care and lots of laughs. Will miss you all so much Love myself and the family and of course our dear, funny, and amazing mum.

Residents have the opportunity to join in many activities either in the large lounge, the smaller one on Oak, or the gardens. My Auntie enjoys the visits from the local nursery children and a recent favourite was the incubating eggs and the subsequent hatching of the chicks, such a good way to generate interaction and conversation.

I would highly recommend this home. Thank you.

You do an amazing job thank you.

Of course, there are struggles but like any organisation, it is how they are dealt with and the open and friendly management team have given us, as a family, the confidence to know that our lovely mum is content and happy now approaching 92.

My Dad has been at Charnwood House for respite for the last 6 weeks and has settled in well and has connected well with a few of the carers and senior members of staff. I won’t lie there have been a few teething problems but nothing to be concerned about you can phone any time of the day and go visit too. You can go and speak to management anytime if they are not busy door is always open meals look lovely had no complaints about my Dad snacks day and night and plenty of tea coffee and juice the good thing too is my Dad is still able to keep smoking and have a beer as this weekend they are watching the football so that will be a good day. The activities are getting better, when we first arrived there wasn’t a lot happening but that has started to improve overall happy that my Dad is safe being looked after and he is comfortable there at Charnwood House.

My Mother was lovingly and efficiently cared for during her 17-month stay at Charnwood House. The property is well managed by a lovely hands-on and approachable manageress whose ethos is to treat all residents as family and this is evident from day one of residency and continued each day until her unfortunate death at age 90. Mum was looked after by a dedicated team of well-trained and pro-active staff. The food served was excellent and the choice of dishes varied. Residents have plenty of opportunities to join in the large range of activities presented before them each day to keep their minds active. I have no reservations about recommending this care home.
