Our family cannot fault in any way, the help and service the staff do for my Dad. They are angels, always there, when my dad or us need anything. My dad is at end of life but I know he is happy and feels safe. Our mind is at rest now because he is safe, fed, looked after and loved. Thank you all so
much for your help.

After two failed attempts I am so relieved to have found Chilton Croft. The minute you walk through the door it feels like home. The smiling staff obviously enjoy their jobs & there is a calmness here that is reassuring. I no longer worry about my father & his care. I can relax, knowing that he is safe,
content & cared for.

My sister became a resident at Chilton Croft Nursing Home in August 2025. She was very underweight after a few weeks she gained weight and was bright & happy. Her room is very clean and comfortable, she is also clean and dressed well. The staff are all so kind and have time for all the residents. I
can't find anything to worry about and we wish all the staff a very happy Christmas.

My Mum moved to Chilton Croft, from another care home. The care she is receiving is excellent. I cannot fault Chiltern Croft. The staff are great with her. I also feel much more relaxed now she is at Chiltern Croft, it's a great care home.

I have been a carer all my working life and I can't fault Chilton Croft at all. The staff is fantastic and the management is as well. The food is vetter than in a very good restaurant. The whole place is very clean. The activities are good as my Dad enjoys them. The staff are all happy and in my mind
that makes a happy home for the residents.

My Father has only been here for around a month now. He has settled in very well. When we looked around the nursing home we were greeted by management and their staff, they were all very lovely and had a good tour around. Spoke about everything they will offer and care for my Father. I do know my Father
hasn't been to any of the activities yet but they are very good from what I have seen when visited.

Review from R T (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My father was a resident for 5 years and seemed to be treated well, the care staff I met seemed nice. Unfortunately, my father passed away on January 31st and that was where the problems began. I found it very distasteful that within a couple of hours, I was asked by management to leave a review, no
consideration for what we were going through it seemed. If they wanted a review then maybe send out an email after a few days instead! Some of my dad's belongings were put in the loft which we found out after we asked where they were, sadly I feel that we were let down by management so I hope management can take on board that empathy goes a long way.

Excellent service
My dad was in Chilton Croft Nursing Home because he needed 24-hour care, he had dementia. Sadly my dad passed away and was only there for 6 days. I can't fault the home that the time my dad was in there. Overall experience was excellent, care, support, cleanliness, and rooms.
I
would like to thank all the staff and management for caring for my dad.

My wife has been residing at Chilton Croft Nursing Home for the past few weeks and she seems to have settled very well. Chilton Croft has a warm, homely feeling, not the bare stark cold feeling of more modern homes we have been to. All this staff come across as polite, dedicated and professional considering
the daily thankless tasks they have to perform. I help to feed my wife most lunch times and I can vouch that the meals are excellent plus the cakes for dessert are a speciality.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the outset, we have felt a welcoming and happy atmosphere when visiting. The staff are vigilant, caring and patient and teh residents look clean and tidy, as does the living area throughout. The bedroom, adequate in size, is always clean and bedlinen fresh. Every effort is made to accommodate personal
items for the residents pleasure. Obviously, activities are limited in such an overall environment. I have no hesitation in commending the managers and staff for their standard of care and the wellbeing of residents.

Whenever we visit the home we are always made welcome and offered refreshments. My mother is always treated with dignity and respect. The staff go out of their way to make the home feel like a home away from home. If they have any issues they wish to discuss, it is always done privately and any of our
concerns are listened to and dealt with.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a wonderful care home. From first entering the building the atmosphere was so good. A really clean, homely and beautifully decorated house. The staff were brilliant. Everyone communicated so well and so helpfully answered any questions. All the residents appeared so comfortable in their surroundings,
a real home-from-home. As I passed the dining room the tables were dressed beautifully for lunch and I was tempted myself by the food choices on offer. I could see a vast improvement in my friend since he arrived at Chilton Croft, which speaks for itself. Finally, the coffee served to me during my visit would rival any barista.

I cannot rate your care home highly enough. My dad was treated with the utmost dignity and care in his final days. The staff have so much respect and empathy for their residents. The food was excellent. Anyone looking for care for their loved ones need look no further than Chilton Croft. I can only
hope when my time comes I get to be in a home like this.

My father was in Chilton Croft Nursing Home. I only have good things to say about the croft, from his personal care to his contentment, they all treated him with dignity and respect, he was always washed and clean, his bedding was always freshly changed everyday, his food looked nutritious and inviting
and always the staff and manager were so lovely to us as a family. I would give them ten out of ten and I recommend them to everyone. Thank you so much Chilton Croft.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.427)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.427) out of 10 for Chilton Croft Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.652 for Chilton Croft Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.652
  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 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chilton Croft Nursing Home is based on 11 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
