I cannot praise the Chestnut Manor Care Home more highly for the care they have provided for my wife who suffers from dementia. She was admitted to Chestnut Manor in January this year, 2023. Since then, she has received outstanding care and understanding from everyone involved in her well-being. All
the staff, carers and nurses, their colleagues who provide the catering and daily activities, the receptionists and others whose tasks make the Chestnut Manor such a welcoming care home. Their professionalism, tolerance, understanding, friendly greetings, nothing seems too much trouble and always with a smile. This care has brought great relief to my wife and all our family. A credit to a well-run home and its management.

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

After a trial two-week stay towards the end of last year, my mother made the permanent move to Chestnut Manor Care Home in February. She has had health issues since she moved in and the nursing care she has received has been excellent. The care and love that the staff have for all the residents is beyond
doubt and it gives you peace of mind knowing that. There is a constant program of activities and everyone is made to feel part of them, even if they are restricted on just how much they can take part. The food and options are amazing and in line with a quality restaurant and that includes presentation and service. We actually call it the hotel when we talk to Mum because to us it's more like a luxury hotel than a care home. Forget all the pre-conceived ideas of what a care home is because this is the future and the model everyone else will be aiming to copy, just because you get old there is no reason why you should not still enjoy life and Chestnut Manor does everything they can to make that happen.

The care, friendliness and love shown to my Mum never ceases to amaze and please me. All staff, without exception, are always willing to go that extra distance to do or provide what is needed at any time. I have witnessed the playfulness between my Mum and the carers and I can tell she is very fond
of them. I think all the residents are so lucky to have such a great team supporting them. As a relative, I certainly feel it and can always relax in the knowledge that Mum is getting first-class care at all times.

Our father recently took up residence in Chestnut Manor Care Home shortly after being diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's. Dad was living a totally confused life, struggling to cope with living alone whilst trying to hold on to his independence. We, as a family, wanted the very best for him and
senior staff from the home assessed him in his own home and were wonderful with both Dad and the family. We call Chestnut Manor a hotel, but in fact, it's probably better than that. Residents are afforded every luxury possible with nothing too much trouble. His food is first-class, a three-course lunch is even served with wine if desired. He has a comfortable, clean room with a lovely view of the garden, the chance to sit and play board games and even a shower at 02:30 should he wish! The management are always on hand to discuss how Dad is settling in and offer excellent advice on how to deal with our new dad and answer those sometimes strange questions which are asked. Dad couldn't be in a better place.

I live in Northern Ireland and visited my sister last week for the first time since she came to the care home. I was very pleased to witness the good care she is receiving from the kind and loving staff. My husband and I visited three afternoons and were made very welcome, joining the residents in the
lounge and observing the activities you have each day. I know my sister can be difficult and uncooperative but I have seen how your staff deal kindly with her. I don't know when I will be able to get over to visit her again but I am very happy to know she is being well looked after.

My sister-in-law has been quite poorly, she is having the best care in Chestnut Manor Care Home, every time we visit she is being treated with such care and kindness. She came to the care home from another care home, was a bit dubious about the move but what a wonderful place. We can relax knowing she
is content. Thank you to all staff on the first floor.

Chestnut Manor Care Home in Wanstead is a different league! Blown away from our first visit, we asked if myself and my mum could move in. My uncle did a month's trial to see if he felt comfortable and if the care home found him suitable for permanent residency. Our first visit made me shed a tear of
joy, my uncle was the happiest I'd seen him. He was more with it, being more talkative and had more energy/excitement. We believe this was due to him having regular meals and being hydrated. As well as the company from the carers, nurses and other residents, his own beautiful, well-sized room with a large TV and en-suite. The care home was rebuilt over five years, opening in September 2021. The level of detail, practical needs, space, facilities, every room having its own en-suite and interior design, everything has been so well thought of. The support and care from everyone, from receptionists, carers, nurses, laundry, management and everyone working here is so dear and honest!

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

We are humbled by your review and appreciate your kind words regarding our home and team members. We are happy to hear that your uncle is happy and receiving the care and support he deserves. Thank you for sharing your experience.

The person for whom I hold power of attorney has been at Chestnut Manor Care Home only a few weeks but already calls it home and is not even interested in visiting her old home to pick out things she wants to keep. She feels safe and well cared for. My experience of the staff has been very positive
and they are making every effort with an old lady who can be rude and quite difficult. She's less anxious than she was at home and is eating much better. Her room and the building as a whole are very clean and there is no hint of a smell. I always receive a warm welcome from the reception staff and everyone I encounter is friendly and helpful. It's a great relief to me to know that she's receiving such good care and is happy.

I moved my mum to Chestnut Manor Care Home in early December. She has been there a month now and has settled very well despite having Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. The care home is spotlessly clean with excellent facilities. The staff are friendly and very efficient. Mum always looks fresh and
clean and is enjoying the food and activities. I couldn't wish for her to be in a better place. She is very well looked after here.

Thank you for your kind review. We're pleased that mum has settled and that you find our home "clean with excellent facilities". It's a pleasure looking after mum, and we are grateful for any further feedback and suggestions to enhance our service. Please provide this to the manager.

Our eleven sisters have been at Chestnut Manor Care Home for just four weeks. A great deal of care and attention has been given to them all during this settling in period. All the staff have been attentive to physical and spiritual needs and given generously of their time. Special thanks go to the "activities"

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Chestnut Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.931 for Chestnut Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.931

  • b) 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 Chestnut Manor Care Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
