Review from Carmen M (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum was transferred to Chestnuts for round the clock care in August 2023. The staff quickly got to know her personality and her needs. She has been very happy there even though she is bed bound. After a recent deterioration in her condition the staff have been excellent at supporting our concerns and explaining options for her palliative care going forward. As a family we are so grateful to the team.

Review from April W (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 January 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum was in chestnuts for about 8 months until she passed in Jan 25. The care home treated her with kindness and respect. She was well-loved and respected by all the staff. We felt at ease knowing that she was in safe hands and were always told of any issues with her health.

Review from Ann B (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Mum has recently passed away in Chestnuts after being admitted for end of life care. I cannot recommend the staff at the Chestnuts highly enough. The care and compassion they showed my Mum at the end of her life were second to none. I do not have one complaint about the care they gave her. Thank you to all staff at the Chestnuts.

Review from Denise O (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 January 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum entered The Chestnuts in 2017. Whilst I can't fault the care of the staff and the outstanding food provided for residents, the loss of my mum on November 2nd, 2017, I was left disappointed that no one from the care home sent a condolence card or showed themselves at the funeral. I felt after taking her money they weren't very thoughtful on her death.
