The home is lovely, the staff are all kind and friendly and very helpful, the home is always clean and tidy, with a very homely feel to it. There always seems to be lots of activities going on for residents and their families.

The Chimneys staff have welcomed an apprehensive 92-year-old and made him feel safe and happy. His overall improvement physically and mentally we put down to the individual high level of care he receives. Always a warm welcome, always something going on and we are more than happy with the attention
he receives.
Reply from Jindy Hayer, Registered Manager at The Chimneys

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I think the staff have made my mother feel very welcome and she has settled in well. I am very impressed with the activities that are set out for my mum and the food seems good. The rooms are light and clean but could do with an update, especially in the bathroom areas. Overall, I think this is a good
care home with dedicated staff. I'm not keen when there is temporary help coming in though.

The staff are competent, caring and understanding and requests or concerns are dealt with very quickly. It's nice to have a number of different places to sit when visiting so we can choose somewhere quiet if we wish to.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visited on May 5th to see my friend's mum who is at The Chimneys. It was the King's coronation weekend and, after returning back from a day out, we had a table set for the three of us, all done lovely, which made us feel really special. Plenty of choice and staff are always friendly whenever we visit.
The Chimneys has a wonderful warm, friendly atmosphere and nothing is ever too much trouble. Beautiful place and spotlessly clean and tidy. Thank you.

Ma has settled in well and is very happy and feels safe. We are really pleased with the care she receives in a lovely home with the attentive and involved staff. They treat her with respect and dignity and keep in touch with us regularly and advise us immediately, if there is a problem.

From the moment we came to look around at the care home, in the whole of Rugby, this home definitely was most welcome, made us feel comfortable, able to support my mum and our family in the difficult time. All staff are very hard working, caring and they always welcome us and all staff seems to be so
much involved in my mum's care. This home is a very homely home.

As a family member, I found the staff very supportive, helpful and kind. They covered all aspects of care with professionalism, making medical care when needed. When I raised concerns the issues were resolved. The home's atmosphere was calm and friendly. My dad wasn't so happy as he didn't think the
carers came to him quick enough when he wanted something.

My mother-in-law was made most welcome when she joined The Chimneys recently. She was, in fact, welcomed with a hug and a cup of weak tea, just as she likes. She has settled in very nicely and has joined in most of the many activities that are arranged for residents. The staff have been most kind and
considerate throughout.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother transferred to this care home in late 2021. The welcome he has received was lovely and he felt at home straight away. The Chimneys feels like a home, not a care home. My brother has been transformed, he is much happier and once again, outgoing. The staff look after him so well. The contact
I have had with the management team has been very efficient and professional. Thank you Chimneys.

Very impressed with covid protocols. The property is very well maintained and is beautifully decorated. Most impressive are all of the staff. I feel Dad is very well looked after and his room is warm and comfortable. The staff I met are all caring and compassionate and I can't thank them enough for
all they are doing to care for my dad. A big thank you to everyone who works at the Chimneys.

Visited an elderly gentleman - a friend who recently moved into the home at the Chimneys, Bolton. Although he is taking his time adjusting to his new surroundings (he is quite lucid, I have found on my visits the staff are extremely friendly and kind. I was offered cool drinks (in the garden on a hot,
sunny day) and tea and biscuits on the more recent occasions. My friend is well cared for and the staff are friendly and caring. The rooms I have seen are finished and decorated to a high standard.

My Father-In-Law had been here for two and a half years. The Chimneys has a very homely feel, staff are good, my Father-In-Law is looked after very well. Much better since new manager was appointed. Lovely place to end your days. Lots of entertainment residents don't just sit staring into space.

Review from N B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
When Nanny first arrived, she settled well. She is not very sociable so when she made a friend, I was very happy. Unfortunately, a few months later, her friend passed away. I repeatedly asked for the staff to encourage friendships etc. but this was not done. Then covid arrived. Over the last 18 months,
my nanny's health, both physical and mental, has declined very quickly. Since covid, it has been difficult to arrange visits and I have discovered that staff members have not always been truthful when I have called to see how she is. There is now a new manager in place and I am hoping this helps.

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.
