As I have never been in a care home I didn't know what to expect. I need not have been nervous. I found it very welcoming. Good warm rooms! Very nice food and very pleasant reception and good accommodation. All in all, very comfortable experience.

My family and I are very pleased with how my wife has settled into Chalfont Lodge Care Home. We have found the staff to be very patient with my wife, very accommodating and friendly. We have noticed how the entire home is very clean and organised. My wife really enjoys the food, even eats custard now.
This is something she would never eat going to Chalfont Lodge Care Home.

As soon as we walk in the door, we are given a welcome by all the staff; they also ask how we are. Myself and my son are not concerned about anything, which we appreciate very much. The only thing we can say is there seems a shortage of staff at the weekends. We always enjoy the cup of tea we can have
with my husband.

Review from Feliciana M (Mother of Resident) published on 2 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
The care home has good outdoor space and presents well. After an accident, my son was in a vegetative state and was cared in the residence for 3 years in one of the units. In the last 3 years, the staff has gradually reduced by 40%, this reflected in the care given to the residents. I had to visit and
check daily my son's comfort, the care he required, and if his needs were met as he was unable to communicate. When he looked in discomfort I had to ask for painkillers to be given, if his skin had sores I had to ask for a doctor's assessment for creams to be prescribed, I had to check fluid charts if laxative was needed. My son had to sit on a chair supervised for 4 hours and the care home was struggling to assign a carer because more than often there was shortness of staff. Many carers are nice and helpful. The night staff is half of what it was 3 years ago and therefore pushed to the limit. The decline in nursing care contributed to my son's discomfort.
Reply from Raj Boodhoo, General Manager at Barchester Chalfont Lodge Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I would like to pass on my sincere condolences again and appreciate this is a really difficult time for you. As we had previously discussed, this was a very complex situation that was carefully managed by our team, and I am very sorry this remains your view of the care given to your son whilst he was living in our care home. I would like to assure you again, as we did previously in meetings held, that our staffing levels were, and continue to be, safe and appropriate to the needs and dependencies of both the residents and the staff within the home. Please be assured that providing high-quality care and ensuring the safety of our residents remains our utmost priority at all times, and if you would like to discuss any of your concerns with me again, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband is a spinal patient and therefore confined to bed or a wheelchair and has been in Chalfont Lodge for 6 months. He is mentally fine. He finds the staff caring and considerate. He is treated with dignity. Generally, he is happy with the food and there is a good choice. Because of his poor hand
coordination, he is unable to do some of the activities but enjoys the music, both joining in and listening. He enjoyed being in the pantomime. He would welcome more church services, talks and games. He would enjoy outside visits. His room is small but chosen for its rural view.
As a regular visitor, I find the staff helpful and friendly. Inevitably our family visits in the home have recently and regrettably been restricted to his room because of Covid. Where problems arise it is usually caused by a lack of communication.

A big thank you to all the staff at Chalfont Lodge for providing such wonderful care for Mum during what have been very difficult times over the last year.
Mum has settled in well and is very happy, so that makes us all happy too.
A lovely setting in beautiful countryside which Mum enjoys as she's
an outdoors person. Great that she can step outside and enjoy the country sights, fresh air and sunshine.
Keep up the good work.

My experience of Chalfont Lodge has been nothing but positive since I first became familiar with the facility through visiting friends over the last few years. I have always found the staff to be very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. The lodge has a tranquil atmosphere, is surrounded
by lovely countryside and has very modern amenities with good-sized rooms. I have found the facility professionally run and make time feeling that residents enjoy. Great safety and security too.

Having visited Chalfont Lodge Care Home four years ago to visit a friend, I was impressed and when my husband needed care especially physio, I was determined this is where he would come. Standards had not changed and my husband progressed well. He came in on a stretcher and although he is 91, he is
now able to walk with a frame. The home made our wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday special.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for Barchester Chalfont Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 70 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 70 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 4.905 for Barchester Chalfont Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (756 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 831 Ratings = 4.905
  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 Barchester Chalfont Lodge Care Home is based on 70 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 106 registered maximum number of service users is 21.2, which has been reached with 70 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.

Hi, my name is Isabel but go by Izzy. I qualified as a Music Therapist in 2015 from Anglia Ruskin University and lived and worked for some years in Cambridge. I completed my second master's in Mental Health Science in 2020 whilst living in France before moving to Bucks to work across three NHS hospitals specialising in dementia and rehabilitation. I am passionate about the power of music and music therapy for older people and those living with dementia, and about strengthening connections between research and practice. As well as working for Barchester I run community choirs and teach the piano locally and in my spare time, I enjoy yoga and spending time outdoors.
