Overall Experience

Lots of positives about Chestnut Manor. It is very clean and well-kept and well decorated with a lot of effort out into seasonal changes. My children have loved the animals that have visited the home (we're still sad that the rabbits and budgie left). The food is good, if rather English school inspired.

My mum has been there 18 months and the nursing care has been very good. Special mentions for a staff member who was super welcoming when my mum first moved in and another who is generally brilliant and has turned the 2nd floor around. We find the evening staff very shy so it is hard to get general updates in the evenings (when I am able to visit) so I find it hard to judge how much entertainment is offered to bed-bound residents.

Reply from Jay Demetrious, Marketing Executive at Chestnut Manor Care Home

Thank you for your kind and constructive feedback. We're glad your mum has been well cared for and that you've appreciated the welcoming environment and activities. We'll pass on your lovely comments to the team and take your points about evening updates and engagement on board.

Everyone at Chestnut Manor has been first class. From initial enquiry right through to my mum being a resident everything has been handled sympathetically & professionally. We viewed a number of local homes and are convinced we've made the right choice. I would recommend this care home to anyone looking

for quality care for their family member.

Overall Experience

My father came to Chestnut Manor Care Home for respite care while my mother, his usual carer, recovered from surgery. He was, to be honest, reluctant to come. However, the staff did everything they could to make him feel welcome and at home. He made friends with other residents and joined in some of

the activities. He also enjoyed the food, which was of a high standard. Should we need further respite care in the future, we would definitely return.

Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Chestnut Manor Care Home

Thank you for sharing your father's experience at Chestnut Manor Care Home. We understand that coming into respite care can sometimes be a difficult transition, so it's wonderful to hear that our team made him feel welcome and at home. It's especially heartening to know that he made new friends, enjoyed the activities, and appreciated the high standard of food. We are delighted that you would consider returning should you need respite care in the future. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can be of any assistance. Wishing your mother a smooth and speedy recovery.

My mother's care was exemplary. She attended for respite care. The home is bright and modern. The interior is of a very high standard and the ambience is calm. My mother's room was bright, clean and airy. Meals were in an upbeat dining area where residents interacted with each other. A daily schedule

of activities stimulated residents. The best aspect of Chestnuts Manor Care Home were the caring and professional staff at all levels. My mother was treated respectfully at all times. My sister and I, as visitors, were welcomed with kindness. Should my mother require further residential care, we will definitely be back without hesitation.

Reply from Jay Demetrious, Marketing Executive at Chestnut Manor Care Home

We cannot fault the care and attention that the management team and staff play in making my father's respite care stay, the best we could ask for. 110%!
The team take complete worry away from our lives from the moment we drop him off.
The facilities are 5 star and the level of cleanliness and attention

to detail is second to none.
We would not have dad stay anywhere else now, and we feel that the service is top class and the team work tirelessly for this to work.
Everything is of the highest quality such as the food, entertainment, trips out, the bedroom facilities and accessories. It's a delight.
Dad is treated with kindness, care and dignity always. Nothing is ever too much for the team.
Thank you for caring for him so well.

My Mother has been at Chestnut Manor since its inception in the Autumn of 2021. She has severe Dementia and has many complex needs that over a period of two and half years have been handled skillfully.
She has also been treated with much care, kindness and generosity of spirit. It is a testament to

all members of staff from management, nursing, caring, catering and reception that my Mum is still here and has had a quality of life, she otherwise wouldn't have had. All the staff have my heartfelt gratitude, thank you.

My friend moved here 2 months ago. She needs a great deal of care and assistance with everything. Staff go out of their way to help her and to communicate with her. The staff are kind and caring and look after residents very well. Clear clinical management structure, manager approachable and efficient.

Any minor issues are dealt with promptly. Stable relationship with GP practice which conducts weekly visits. Facilities are excellent, always clean and tidy. I am not responsible for payment of fees and so cannot comment on value for money.

My father came to the Chestnut Care Home last week.
His legs need attention weekly due to having serious ulcerations- the team was amazing starting with removing the dressing followed by giving my father the most amazing shower, he was in heaven!
Finally, both ladies applied the viscopaste bandage

which is put on in a specific way - the staff member had watched the video I had sent and then applied the process perfectly!
What a team - thank you.

Overall Experience

We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of care and quality of life that our elderly, independent-spirited mother is experiencing at Chestnut Manor. The home is beautiful, the facilities superb, the food wonderful, the atmosphere calm and happy and there are lots of varied activities and encouragement

to socialise - but what really makes this home special is all the wonderful staff, from carers and nurses to housekeeping and reception. We've seen our mother flourish in an environment of real love, compassion and professionalism, where she is understood, valued and respected as an individual. We are made to feel welcome at any time, are kept informed about any issues, and always feel able to raise any questions or concerns. Our mother has dementia, so her care needs will change over the next years, but we are confident, having observed similarly excellent care of other residents with more advanced dementia, that she'll continue to be lovingly supported throughout.

We were very fortunate to find such a welcoming and caring home for our Ursuline sisters. Most of them arrived in September 2021 and settled so quickly which is a great tribute to the staff. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff are attentive and courteous. They act quickly if something is wrong and

contact me if they have any concerns. The activities are well planned, great respect is given to people who belong to a faith tradition. The end-of-life care is excellent. The Manager, leads a great team.

Overall Experience

We had a very poor experience at a care home locally, where my friend declined in health rapidly; but the care received at Chestnut Manor is of no comparison. The majority of staff are outstanding or what I like to call ‘Westlake Wonders’. The visuals are clearly magnificent, but it is the quality of

care given that is of utmost importance and this is where I feel Chestnut really stands out from the crowd. The respect, compassion and kindness given is matched by expertise and professionalism. Residents also have a number of specialised resources available, alongside staff who really know their stuff. It's clear through their actions that the well-being of residents is at the heart of everything, even when difficulties occur. Where there are errors, it's dealt with appropriately and with complete transparency. The atmosphere at events is joyous and there is love between staff and the residents, with delicious food too! We're so happy at Chestnut and have optimism about the future.

Overall Experience

My brother and I looked at many care homes for our elderly mum and Chestnut Manor came out way ahead. After spending her first delightful Christmas there, we agreed she’s in exactly the right place. We were most concerned about finding kind and perceptive care for Mum (who has dementia and struggles

to vocalise needs). I’m confident that she receives that in spades at Chestnut Manor, not just from the excellent care staff, but from all the staff (e.g. hospitality, who obviously know her well, notice her preferences and always treat her with great dignity and patience). Other strengths include the imaginative programme of activities, wonderful food and the layout of the beautiful home, which manages to give a welcoming sense of community as soon as you walk through the door. I’m kept informed of any issues and know any concerns I have will be dealt with swiftly and appropriately. The home is obviously well-managed and is a happy, caring home. I’m so glad we found it.

Now that a few months have passed, I wanted to write and say thank you so much for taking such very great care of my mother. You looked after her so well for the short time she was with you, you were professional, friendly and endlessly welcoming to her and the whole family. You gave us hope and comfort

Overall Experience

Acting as POA for a friend who now resides at Chestnut Manor, it was imperative to ensure that our decision to place her there was the right one, particularly after having experienced the decline of care in her previous care home and the contrast is amazing. The facilities at Chestnut Manor are exceptional,

house keeping is of the highest standard and the staff couldn't be praised more for the care and attention which our friend now receives. The staff is not only very professional, but also treats its residents with utmost compassion and dignity, which is so important for the well-being of each individual. Our friend has visibly improved so much - both in appearance and overall generally. The staff couldn't be more attentive and keep us informed at all times, which is extremely reassuring and gives us peace of mind knowing that we undoubtedly made the right decision placing her under Chestnut Manor's care. Thank you to all the staff for all you do - we really appreciate it!

Overall Experience

For us, Chestnut Manor is a very different experience to other care homes. Firstly, the decor is more akin to a 4-star hotel. The environment and staff were immediately welcoming and soothing, which was a great comfort to us at a difficult time.
Our mum was received at Chestnut on discharge from the

hospital, following a nasty fall at another care home where she was receiving respite care. Her injuries were life-changing and we were finding it very difficult to cope. Our confidence in the care system was low. That changed in an instant at Chestnut from her assessment, her intake, up until now, Mum has received first-class care. Every member of staff treats Mum with compassion, understanding and dignity.
Care is tailored to her individual and changing needs. Nothing is too much trouble, for Mum or us. Ironically, although she is very unwell, Mum looks better than she has in a long time. This is holistic compassionate care at its very best.
I wish it was the standard, not the exception.

Overall Experience

In the spring, my mother had a whole series of medical problems, ranging from pneumonia to repeated bouts of cellulitis. During this time, between hospital visits, she stayed for several weeks at Chestnut Manor Care Home. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff who gave my mother first-class care during

her stay. When some of the health issues flared up again, they dealt with it with tremendous resourcefulness and persistence. The result was my mother was seen very promptly by doctors (including one visit in the middle of the night) and was able to start on her medication within about twenty-four hours or less. My mother benefited enormously from her time at Chestnut Manor. It gave her a chance to literally get back on her feet. At the same time, she realised she wasn't quite ready to go into permanent residential care. Now, she is back in her own home and doing well. The whole family are delighted she has been able to resume the life she knows and enjoys. Long may it continue!
