What a lovely summer mum has had at The Chimneys, from the summer garden party, trips to the pub for lunch, enjoying the beautiful gardens which have been entered into a competition, to all the usual entertainers and singers who come in regularly which mum really enjoys as she loves music. The food
at Chimneys is home cooked and always a choice with delicious puddings. Mum is always spotlessly clean , with matching or colour coordinated clothes on. This is such an amazing care home with staff who are dedicated to making sure the residents are healthy and most importantly happy. I highly recommend The Chimneys, mum has been here over a year and loves it. Thanks to the manager, one member of staff in particular and team for everything they do. We really appreciate it x

The Chimneys Care Home management is excellent. It's well-ran and hands-on. It has a lovely, friendly atmosphere and staff are welcoming. The care is excellent and they are respectful to the residents. They have activities and singing which is very good. My husband needs a special diet, which is well-managed
and food is brilliant. They try to make the same food as the other residents, so he feels the same as everyone else. Housekeeping is great, it's kept really clean, washing is lovely and clean and ironed. It's lovely, can't praise them enough.

Well - where to start! The Chimneys is a fabulous place! Mum loves it there and we call the staff her second family - all so kind, caring and friendly - nothing too much trouble and they treat the residents like family. The food is fantastic and the entertainment outstanding. They also look after visitors
and made a lovely cake for Dad's 94th birthday - so lovely!

Every time I come to Chimneys Care home I see my mum looked after very well. My mum enjoys singers occasionally coming in and different activities they organise.
I feel like she is very well cared for. The staff is very helpful and go out their way to help.

Each time I visit there is always something going on which involves the residents. I've seen singers who encourage the residents to sing along and play instruments - tambourine, maracas and castanets. I've also seen quizzes. They also have fitness classes and board games.

Review from Howard M (Husband of Resident) published on 7 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When it was decided that my wife, an Alzheimer patient should go into a care home, my daughter and I took it upon ourselves to visit most of the 'care homes' in the area, including the newer and larger ones. We both came to the conclusion that The Chimneys is far and away the best we visited. Since
my wife moved in, in early July she has settled down very quickly and stressed to my daughter's and me how happy she is. The staff have marked that she is settled in very quickly and has demonstrated how happy she is. Thank you so much The Chimneys for ensuring her ongoing happiness.

My mum was 100 last Friday and she would never have achieved such a remarkable age without the care and kindness of the staff at The Chimneys. They gave her a remarkable party and the food and organisation were exceptional. I cannot thank the staff and manager enough for all their care, patience and
understanding that has helped her achieve this grand old age and still be able to dance with the Mayor on her big day. A huge thank you from all of the family; you do an amazing job.

Dad moved to Chimneys Care Home in January 2024. Chimneys Care Home is incredibly welcoming from the moment you step through the door till the time you leave. It is warm and cosy and the communal lounge is always very busy and a lot of fun. The meals are beautiful and with different choices. The staff
are amazing, always available to talk to and have such a warm fondness towards all the residents. Special days like Valentine's Day, Pancake Day and Saints' Days are always planned with events and fun things to do. Dad has settled in so well and is incredibly well looked after by all the fabulous staff. Thank you.

My mother is being cared for extremely well at The Chimneys. Her personal care and day-to-day care are exceptional, giving her the opportunity to be as independent as possible. Mum has a good choice of meals and can always have more if required. Mum recently had a birthday and was made to feel very
special. I feel confident that she is in a safe environment and that her needs are taken care of.

My dad came to The Chimneys following the closure of his previous home. We were anxious as he had been so happy in his previous home, but had no need to worry. The staff are welcoming and kind and took time to introduce themselves and get to know my dad’s likes and dislikes. When I visit as I do not
live locally, I spend a whole afternoon with my dad and witness kindness from staff to all residents and individual care to each person. The atmosphere is inviting and kind and I always feel welcome. The food looks delicious and judging from everyone’s clean plates tastes great too! Entertainment is varied and staff go out of their way to make sure everyone is included.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for The Chimneys is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.822 for The Chimneys is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 230 Ratings = 4.822
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Chimneys is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
