Overall Experience

I wish to thank all the staff at the care home for this quality of care my 91-year-old brother-in-law received in the last four months of his life. He was treated with dignity, respect and kindness, and it was very important to us to see him so comfortable and relaxed despite the severity of his condition.

Reply from Paul Burns, Director at Victoria Chartwell
Thank you so much for your kind words of support, and the staff will be delighted to know they helped.

Under stimulating resident. Her food is good, plenty and varied. Home is clean and staff caring.

Reply from Paul Burns, Director at Victoria Chartwell

We do understand your frustration with the first two weeks of admission since isolation is always challenging for anyone. However, we did ensure that our activities coordinator spent 1:1 time with our resident each day and following isolation, there was great enjoyment of a garden lunch,...

Review from Paul S (Son of Resident) published on 6 October 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has dementia and is not very mobile due to arthritis in her knees. She is a very gregarious person, always interested in those around her. She has been a resident of Victoria Chartwell for three years now and after some initial reluctance to stay has settled in comfortably. She receives excellent care and attention from the well-trained staff. They are also very considerate to me regarding my mother and her care. The warm and caring atmosphere at the home has enabled her to make friends with residents and staff alike.

Reply from Paul Burns, Director at Victoria Chartwell
Thanks so much for your kind words of support and I am glad your Mother receives excellent care.

The staff at Victoria Chartwell are of good temperament, quick to answer one's needs when needed and always polite. The cleaning staff are good and the food is as good as you would get at a top restaurant in London. The management are very good as well. I can't praise them all enough.

Overall Experience

The staff combine a high level of professionalism with a helpful, accommodating and friendly attitude. My mum has been helped through some difficult times with exceptional care and attention and I have always felt to be appropriately informed and helped as much as possible with visits and communication as circumstances have allowed. There is a strong sense that the residents at Victoria Chartwell are well-cared for in every aspect, social and medical and I am very happy to recommend highly as an excellent care provider.

Review from Patrick D (Son of Resident) published on 21 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother worked for social services, I have seen some dreadful care homes and also some that were fine. This care home, in my opinion, is excellent at all-round care. Whether it be personal or social, the team from management down seem to really care about the person they are dealing with. So kind and pleasant at all times, I would strongly recommend this home to family and friends.

Reply from Paul Burns, Director at Victoria Chartwell
Thank you so very much for your kind endorsement. The team will be absolutely delighted.

Review from Emeline M (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 June 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My father has been in the care home for over six weeks. He has been treated with great patience and respect. The staff have been outstanding with him and our family. The grounds are beautiful and so well kept, the food was very good. My dad is rather fussy and they did their very best to keep his tummy happy. The staff did all they could to make sure we got to see Dad as much as possible together with keeping very strict to Covid-19 rules to protect all.

We would like to thank them all on behalf of our Dad.

My stay has been made so very good. I have been treated with the most respect and kindness I could ever have hoped for. All the staff have been most helpful, caring and friendly.

Review from D G (Husband of Resident) published on 18 February 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The Victoria Chartwell quite rightly prides itself on the standard of service provided for its residents and this was witnessed by the NHS when placing my wife there for additional rehabilitation, following lengthy hospitalisation due to severe sepsis. This is a most debilitating condition physically, mentally and psychologically. The staff were totally excellent in providing her with the post sepsis care she required, especially at a time when having to deal with the additional problems of covid and lockdown. To the Victoria Chartwell team - thank you.

Review from Ian C (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 11 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Mother-in-law moved into Chartwell in 2007, and, until her passing in November 2020, was looked after by all of the staff impeccably. She always commented on how friendly and lovely they were and how nothing was ever too much trouble for them. She was very happy and comfortable there, and we were always so reassured that she was safe, and enjoyed it there so much. We would like to say how much we appreciated everything that was done for Mum during her 13 years at the Home, and express our thanks to all the staff who played a part in it.

Overall Experience
Excellent care and with compassion empathy and genuine kindness.
Regarding the lockdown period, I felt upset that I couldn't see my mum until end of life.

On the day of mums passing, I feel that discretion could have been used as mum died 30 mins

Thank you for your kind words of support and we are currently reviewing our visiting policies in the hope of improving opportunities for visits. We acknowledge your thoughts on the end of life visits and have revised these to be one hour in duration.

Review from D H (Stepson of Resident) published on 1 April 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I arrived to pick up my dad for an appointment, unknowingly to the carer I was in the doorway to his room while dad was being prepared. Everything was explained to him and he was very compliant and understood the tasks that were being undertaken. I was very impressed with the carer's professionalism and even more so as it was the carer's third day on the job. Well done!

I am very happy here. It's a friendly place.

The only thing I would say is I would like somewhere safe and private that I can store papers and jewellery etc. I would like it in my room.

Reply from Paul Burns, Director at Victoria Chartwell
You should have a lockable draw in your room and I will ask maintenance to check this for you.
