I recently wrote a review about the amazing care my husband received in The Chase. My husband passed away and although truly upsetting I could not have asked for a more peaceful and respectful passing. I was with my husband at the end and all the staff made sure we were both comfortable and well cared for. The staff treated my husband with pure respect after his passing and ensured I was alright and understood everything, nothing was rushed and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The staff are like family and I will miss their wonderful care, concern and respect.
It was my mum's 90th birthday. Mum had a great day, with all the staff helping out, with a cake and a sing-along, Happy Birthday. The staff are great and, especially the two meet-and-greet girls on reception, are always there to help.

The care my mum has experienced is excellent and holistic. Although she is limited because of her dementia, she is included in the various activity programmes. The carers encourage her to keep well nourished which is not easy. They are kind and considerate, not only to Mum but also to our family, and the nurses on Van Gough unit keep us updated and informed of any changes in her care.
Thank you for your review. It is very kind of you for complimenting our team at The Chase. I will share your comments with the team.

My dad was a resident for his end-of-life care and I can't state enough how amazing the staff and carers were towards him. They treated him with respect and dignity right to the end. Even shaving him the day before he passed and making sure he had clean clothes daily - thank you.
Thank you for your review. We are very happy to see how much you all appreciate what we offer at The Chase. It was our privilege to care for such a nice gentleman at this time of life. He was so interesting and on his good days, he enjoyed what The Chase had to offer. It was sad to say goodbye to you all but I will share your lovely compliments with the staff. Thank you once again.

Overall it is a very good place. When I had a stroke and I was shifted to the hospital after that I went to a place where I stayed for a few days and then I came to this place and it's been a year now so it feels like home and it is away from town so it is quiet and peaceful and I am happy here so I don't want to go elsewhere and stay here.
Thank you very much for your kind review. It is so nice to be appreciated. It is very good for us to see you enjoy your stay at The Chase. We do our best and comments like yours are very encouraging to us and will reassure other relatives or residents. Thank you.

Thank you for all you have done to make his final months more comfortable. We appreciate all you have done at a very challenging time for us all.
Thank you. We appreciate your kind comments. It is always reassuring to have an endorsement like this for relatives who are looking for care. Your comments motivate our team when we receive such kind reviews. Thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts, especially during this difficult period.
After nearly dying in the local hospital, Mum came to The Chase Care Home and although she has dementia - her overall health and well-being has improved massively. She is happy and very well cared for by the amazing staff here!

The Chase Care Centre in Watford is a very good place for people with dementia like my husband. Is a well-run place with all staff who really care for the residents. My husband has been in The Chase for more than 3 years and he seems to be happy and well looked after. The staff is very approachable and respond quickly if I have any queries. The food looks and smells very tasty and my husband enjoys every single meal. I trust their assessments and if there is a medical problem, my husband has GP appointment organised very quickly. Thank you very much The Chase.
Thank you for your kind feedback, we at The Chase love to hear that our residents, family and friends are happy and feel secure in the knowledge that your loved ones are being looked after with care and respect. It's a team effort, and we love what we do!

My husband has been a resident in The Chase for over 18 months and the care he has received during that time has been consistently excellent. Not only do the staff provide professional and efficient care for the residents but they are constantly concerned for the well-being of the resident's family as well. The day-to-day care and consideration for the comfort of the residents is matched by the swift and professional response in an emergency. Thank you and well done to all staff at The Chase.
A family member was here 15 years ago and we had a bad experience it was over packed and the staff did not listen. But now another member has come and the place looks so much better. The staff are very helpful and listen to what we say and check what the person likes to eat and they help us with...

Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Thank you for noticing, it is great to hear you complimenting our team. Everyone has been working really hard on this over the last few weeks, making sure your wife is settling in, and finding The Chase Care Centre like a place from home. I will share your feedback with our team.

My mother was initially put into another care setting of which we had many issues. Having ended up back in the hospital she was then placed in The Chase of which we were initially very sceptical. But I must say what a breath of fresh air. We were immediately put at ease by their interest in our mother, my father and my sister. All the staff are very friendly and can't do enough for her. Great work! Thank you for putting at ease!
We are thrilled to receive such wonderful feedback about our service. Our team is offering dedication, commitment and respect to their residents. Your mother is the soul of the unit, she is very much loved by everyone.

My aunt was cred for with great sensitivity and awareness of her needs by all staff (as were my husband and myself) Everyone from receptionists to the manager offered a very high level of care and dealt with my aunt's passing with equal care and sensitivity. I cannot speak highly enough of the entire team at The Chase Care Centre and offer my thanks and gratitude to all of the nurses who attended to my aunt on a daily basis.
We are very thankful for a wonderful message. We are very honoured that we could support your aunt and she received good care at the end of her life journey. With immense gratitude, Team of the Chase.

We are very thankful for the feedback that we use to reflect and improve our service to the Residents we support. With Gratitude, The Chase team.
Every time I have visited the home, the staff have been very friendly and accommodating. My friend has been cared for with dignity and respect. The home is always clean everywhere. For anyone that ends up coming here to stay, they would be very lucky.

Excellent care home in all areas. My husband is currently in the care home and I am very happy with the care that he receives. I do not have any negative feedback or any other comments that I have not already stated.

Whenever we visited (no appointment needed) he was always well-groomed, clean and tidy. The staff without exception treated him with love and care, always ready to give a hug when requested by him, he was always so comfortable with them. At the end he wasn't alone, a member of staff was with him, which was a great comfort to the family. Also the staff cared for the family too, making sure we were okay. Wonderful, all of them.

I’m Agnieszka, the Home Manager at The Chase. I enjoy getting to know our residents and being part of their lives, while working with our team to create a positive and supportive environment. I’m passionate about making The Chase feel like a real home, where residents feel safe, respected, cared for and, most importantly, happy.
I trained as a nurse in Poland and began my career in a hospital, gaining 10 years of clinical experience. Since moving to the UK, I have continued to develop my skills and bring my nursing background to my role as Home Manager. I believe in getting to know each resident as an individual and ensuring their choices, interests and personalities remain at the heart of their care.

I have more than 10 years of nursing experience across nursing homes, private hospitals and clinical settings. I’m passionate about making a positive difference to residents’ lives and ensuring everyone receives compassionate, person-centred care tailored to their individual needs and preferences.
Building strong relationships with residents and their families is really important to me. Seeing residents happy, comfortable and supported is incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to be part of the dedicated team at The Chase Care Centre.

“I am from a care home background and administration. The vacancy came up for lead administrator, and I took this opportunity to combine my experience and skills. I enjoy all the tasks that I carry out as I know that this ties in with making a difference and supporting our residents, who are vulnerable people who require support.”

“I wanted to work in a large care home environment because it provides opportunities for me to expand my knowledge with training and by working alongside experts. My favourite part of my day is being able to make people happy.”
