The staff/management are brilliant. Very supportive, not only to residents but family under stress. The activities have improved greatly. The food is excellent. Doctors visit regularly and we are always informed immediately if there are any problems. The only negatives are that residents tend to lose/hide their dentures. The TV/radio are often on too low, many have hearing problems. Also, the programmes shown are not always appropriate. Main concern- dementia ward- lack of staff at weekends. I have been told it meets government rules. However, I have been visiting on at least 3 occasions when 1 staff member had to deal with bed-ridden residents. I was downstairs getting the tea trolley and residents have fallen. I had to alert staff on my own.
Through my experience with Chater Lodge I could not have wished for better care, the staff and management were so attentive and pleasant.

Through my experience with Chater Lodge I could not have wished for better care, the staff and management were so attentive and pleasant. I couldn't have wished for better care they made our experience at the home all we could wish for, to see our father happy and well cared for in his last days. We as a family can't thank them enough.

Mum has been a resident for 4 years she is now age 95. Her care has been exemplary often in challenging circumstances. Always appropriate, kind, caring and understanding to both mum and myself. It has sometimes been distressing and always handled sympathetically. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, working hard, paid very little and long hours. My only criticism is you never see any "management" staff at the weekend to be able to discuss any issues that arise.
My mum had a very bad fall in October, the break to her leg was so bad, that she was bedbound for the last two months of her life, she died on 30th December 2015. The staff at Chater Lodge were so compassionate, patient and caring. She was on palliative care for eleven days before she died. The...
My mum had a very bad fall in October, the break to her leg was so bad, that she was bedbound for the last two months of her life, she died on 30th December 2015. The staff at Chater Lodge were so compassionate, patient and caring. She was on palliative care for eleven days before she died. The manager is really a credit to you and all the staff and the carer who sat with mum I cant thank them enough! Personally I've been in care for 26 years and don't think you could do better than Chater Lodge.

Hello. My name is Zoe, and I am the General Manager at Chater Lodge Care Home. I have worked in care settings since leaving school and have worked my way up from apprentice to my current management position. I joined Chater House in 2012 and was soon promoted to Deputy Manager, and then again to General Manager in 2017. I have nearly completed an NVQ Level 5 in Leadership and Management. I take pride in ensuring the whole team provides high-quality care to all our residents, and I enjoy making people laugh and feeling loved.
I like taking on new challenges and learning all the time through new experiences and training. Outside of work, I like to spend my time keeping fit, walking my dogs and sitting in front of a fire reading about my favourite subject - Greek myths.
