My mum came to Chiltern after a disappointing experience at another care home. Upon our first visit, we instantly knew that Chiltern was the right place for mum. The premises were always clean and tidy, and the rooms are also clean, well maintained and spacious. The staff at Chiltern are friendly, attentive and genuinely care about the residents safety, dignity and well being. Management were always available and encouraged feedback to make residents as comfortable as possible.
My mum really started to settle in, but unfortunately with her condition, her health started to decline quite rapidly. During a very difficult time, both management and staff were incredibly caring, supportive to both me and mum, and always in contact to keep me informed of how mum was doing. They went above and beyond to make things as comfortable as possible for both of us and I can't thank them enough.

Chiltern retirement home is a clean, friendly home, with people who care about the residents, they converse with my father and other residents in a professional, friendly manner, not over familiar, just the right amount humour and sensitivity.

My elderly mother has been a resident in the care home for a number of years now and she has been so well looked after, with care that is exemplary. The staff are kind and considerate with a professional management that puts the residents first. I couldn't wish for a better home to being looking after my mother, in all the years she has resided there I have had no cause to raise any issues, which speaks for itself. Also she is happy there, so a ten out of ten from me.

My mum was a resident at Chiltern for a short period of time before she passed away, during that time she was very happy. It is a beautiful home, always kept spotlessly clean and all the rooms I have seen are lovely. All the staff are excellent, caring for the residents in a loving, friendly and dignified manner. The homemade food always looked and smelled wonderful. I cannot praise all aspects of this lovely home enough! I just wish my mum had been there longer, so she could enjoy it more. All the staff are a great credit to their profession and brilliant management.
