Very disappointing service. It was evident from the first day that they treated my mother poorly. So many examples of poor management from the way they handled entry during Covid restrictions, to the complete lack of compassion to Mum. This continued right through the request of continuing care funding, whereby the nurse was not prepared for the call and sadly did not give accurate representations of Mum's condition. The Chase also failed to provide a range of documents to the NHC appeal committee when requested to do so.
I am extremely sorry and concerned by your feedback about your mother's stay at The Chase. As the operations manager with overall responsibility for The Chase, I take all feedback very seriously. I have established from our records that all CHC and appeal documents were transferred on time and I...

My wife is living with dementia and is being looked after extremely well in The Chase. The staff treat her with respect and are friendly and kind in their approach to her care. When I visit she looks well-cared for and is pleased to see me.

My mum was very poorly when she entered The Chase in January 2020, having been declining in health over several months previous to that. Being at The Chase has brought her back to much better health and it is a comfort to see how well she is cared for and how much more socially active she is. The staff cannot do enough to help her and I cannot praise them highly enough.
My mum was bedbound on arrival and is now able to walk with a zimmer frame on her own, due to the excellent care of all the staff involved with looking after my mum. The management are on hand and very polite. I am always informed if Mum needs a doctor etc.

Thank you for your feedback. During a recent residents meeting, the menu was discussed. In preparation for Summer Menu, Head Chef is preparing a food tasting session to obtain feedback from residents before finalising the menu.
Mum has received fantastic care. The staff know her well and anticipate what she needs. Everyone is incredibly kind and professional. The fact that they have come through lockdown so well speaks volumes.

Whilst in your care, my mum was looked after and treated with the utmost respect. She had a very good relationship with most of the care workers and nurses. She was only there for a short amount of time, but I know that she was happy there and being looked after properly. You made Mum's last few months very comfortable, and I thank you all.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I am glad to know that your mum was settled and happy at The Chase and she very much loved by all.
The staff have been brilliant. Very friendly and caring to the residents and great support to our family. We did not have long at the home, but I cannot fault the staff at The Chase. Like to say thank you.

The Chase have supported me and my mother through some very difficult times. The home is a home away from home. The staff are fantastic, in particular, the care services manager, he is an asset and the staff nurse.

I had been given less than a month's notice to find a new home for my father as his previous home was closing for refurbishment. I looked at quite a few nursing homes in the area. When I first came to visit The Chase and met with the Manager I felt comfortable that my father's needs and welfare would be well met. I have found the staff and management to be very approachable and to have a good understanding of my father's requirement.
Thank you for your feedback. The team at the home always strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for each individual. I am glad dad settled in well.

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.”
