I'm very pleased with the way my husband is being cared for. He is getting suitable food and he eats it. He is clean and tidy and is settled. The staff are helpful and make me welcome each time I go.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Chichester Court. I am glad your husband has settled. I will pass your feedback to the team.
Rooms in need of redecorating soon. The staff are all very helpful and caring. My father has no complaints with the meals provided and has gained a little weight since arriving at Chichester Court which is good news. Although we do not want to see our father in care but have no choice due to his needs, Chichester Court is certainly looking after him adequately.
Thank you for taking the time to review Chichester Court. We will pass your comments to the manager and team.
My only criticism would be that residents are dressed in other residents' clothes which is unsettling and undignified. I have gone through Dad's clothes and put his room number in. Other than that everything seems to be going ok.
Thank you for taking time to review Chichester Court. Please be assured your concerns are being addressed by the manager. Should you wish to discuss further please do not hesitate to contact the home.
Lack of training.
Lack of activities.
Regards.
The staff were very professional and caring. It can't be an easy job particularly in the present climate.
Thank you so much for reviewing Chichester Court, it is much appreciated.
My father has been at Chichester Court Care Home for over five years now and has been very well looked after and cared for - the staff love him and have a close relationship with him which has been much appreciated by all of our family. This has been an absolutely dreadful year due to Covid-19 but we have been kept well informed about my father, and my mother has been able to visit when permitted to do so. The staff have been extremely kind and helpful to my mother as well which has helped her tremendously. Everyone has had to abide by the strict rules and regulations set in place but it is a small price to pay in order to be able to see my father in person once again. I have to say that it is not only the carers and the nursing staff who are so very kind and loving but the staff behind the scenes in the office and administration are superb. I have had to contact them more regularly than normal during Covid and their help, kindness and communication has been amazing.
Thank you for your positive feedback, it is very much appreciated.
The staff are most helpful and mindful of their patients and family which puts our mind at rest.
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.
Staff go out of their way to help. Care reviews take place every month. There is a doctor visit every week that deals with issues that arise and there is always an RMN on each shift. The only thing lacking us there is no activities coordinator so activities are non-existent at the moment. They have dealt well with COVID.
Thank you very much for your feedback, it is much appreciated.
The staff are very very caring and are understanding of my mother and all our family.
They provided a room, food for my mum and dads 68th Wedding Anniversary and we had a lovely day.
Thanks to all of the staff we can't thank them enough.
Thank you, Christine, for letting us know how we are doing at Chichester Court Care Home. The care and wellbeing of every resident is our number one priority and it is rewarding to have such positive feedback about how we are doing.
My father-in-law has been in Chichester Court since December 2018 the care has always been of the highest standard with all the management and staff showing care, support for everyone around the family. This was even more shown when we had a family party/get together for the 68th Wedding Anniversary they made the day very special in every way. The excellent support we were treated with care in such a way we will never forget "excellent in every way". Thank you.
Thank you, for your feedback following your recent experience at our home. We are happy to learn it has been a positive one. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing. Have a wonderful day.
Since my father arrived in 2018, he has been treated with the utmost and sincere professionalism by all the staff and management. First class from the start.
Thank you, Dorothy, for letting us know how we are doing at Chichester Court Care Home. The care and wellbeing of every resident is our number one priority and it is rewarding to have such positive feedback about how we are doing.
Very caring staff helpful and kind.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback about our home. We are pleased to hear that your experience has been positive and appreciate all of your kind comments about our team. We hope to see you again soon.
You made us all feel very welcome and you made Mum very comfortable in Mum's last days. She was treated with dignity throughout her stay and our views were taken into account at every turn.
We can't thank you enough for everything you did for us and Mum.
Thank you, Lynne, for your kind comments about our Care team. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback for Chichester Court Care Home. We understand how upsetting it must have been, and are so pleased you felt that our team lived up to expectation and treated your Mum with dignity and...
I cannot fault the staff at the home. My mother was only with the home for a short amount of time and the staff did everything to make her stay and her passing easy to handle. They made the family welcome when visiting and looked after us all in Mum's last days.
If there are any concerns, the manager is always quick to respond and take on board any comments. Very communicative, always advising us of any changes to condition or concerns.
Thank you, Leslie, we always appreciate individuals taking the time to give their feedback and we are very pleased to hear that your experience at Chichester Court Care Home was so positive. All of our staff are committed to providing the best possible care experience for all of our residents and it is very rewarding to have their efforts recognised.
I find the management and staff caring, helpful and extremely patient, nothing is a bother to them and they always listen to any concerns and act to redeem them.
Thank you, Jennie, for taking the time to let us know how we are doing at Chichester Court Care Home. We are happy to hear that you have found our team so supportive. Thanks again for the kind words. Have a fantastic day!
I find the staff friendly, caring, helpful and treat my husband with kindness and dignity.
Thank you, Dorothy, for sharing your recent experience of Chichester Court Care Home. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing and are pleased to hear that our team has been able to support you and in your husband's care. Thank you once again. Have a wonderful day.
Mam's care at Chichester Court is excellent. She is constantly monitored and treated with respect and compassion. All of the staff are friendly and attentive to her needs. It has given me peace of mind to know that her care is their paramount objective and I don't have to worry that she is at risk. They also make me feel welcome when I visit and engage in conversation. I know mam is in the best place for her wellbeing and I am very happy that all of her needs are being met.
Thank you, Patricia, for sharing your recent experience of Chichester Court Care Home. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the quality of our care and that your mam is enjoying life at our home. Our residents' care...
My dad was admitted to hospital on 21st September, after my daughter and I insisted that he was seen by a doctor. He had not eaten/drank for 4 days (this was not the first time he had to be hospitalised for the same condition). We had to press for medication to treat thrush prior to his hospital admission but this was not administered until he was in the hospital.
Considering his medical history I was not happy that action was not taken sooner and that we had to instigate the action that was taken. My father has Alzheimer's and is not aware of his surroundings or family. I cannot fault the carers, they do their very best.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your views and we take all comments very seriously. Would you be willing to discuss your points further? We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns with us at the home directly. Please get in touch and we can arrange a meeting. We look forward to hearing from you.
I always find the staff very friendly, caring and helpful.
The nursing staff keep us well informed regarding any changes in my mother-in-law's condition, and I feel I can talk to them at any time if I have any concerns.
Thank you, Lynn, for your comments about your recent experience at Chichester Court Care Home. Our residents’ wellbeing is our main priority and it is great to hear that you were so pleased with the quality of our care. All of our staff are committed to providing the best possible care experience for all of our residents and it is very rewarding to have their efforts recognised.
