My wife spent the last four days of her life in this care home. She was treated with dignity and kindness the whole time she was in. The staff also treated myself and any visitors with kindness and understanding, nothing was a problem, they were constantly visiting the room to check on us. Since her death I have visited the care home on many occasions and have been made very welcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Chilton Care Centre.
Thankyou for a lovely review as always you are welcome anytime
A well run home with a caring, resident focused ethos. My Mum is ver happy there, she says staff allow choices, do not enforce rigidity or are at all 'pushy'. She says staff are kind, approachable and considerate.

My mam went into the care home in October 2024. Staff were in the foyer to welcome her and myself. They were friendly and there is always a friendly atmosphere. Since then they have always made sure that her needs are met and that she was settled and comfortable in her new surroundings and home.

My mother has been in the home since February 2025. She ahs settled well. The home gives her everything she needs. The manager welcomed her on her first day. She enjoys the activities and always praises the staff. While visiting at different times of the day I have found all staff pleasant and helpful. The home is spotlessly clean and everyone seems quite at home here. All in all a good choice.
Excellent care provided by very dedicated staff.
