I have one suggestionto make - There is no food or hot drink offered between 5.30 pm and 9 am the next day. Sometimes if you ask you can get a drink. But it is an awfully long time, and less articulate patients will not ask!
Thank you very much for your review. I am very sorry to hear this as there is always food and drink available 24 hours a day and staff always have access to the kitchen. I apologise that this was not communicated to you.Thank you for your feedback. I will feed this back to my team so this will not happen again.We are always here if you need any assistance in the future.

In one word , my experience of the whole care package is "exemplary". Having been a carer of my wife for over 20 years, I am well aware of the tasks facing a carer. Challoner House carehome fully met the requirements I expected. All the staff, from the cleaners to the managers were polite, cheerful and mostly accessible. The food was excellent!
