Chestnut Lodge was home to my Mother-in-law for eight years. The support for her and the family was excellent. Her final few weeks before she died were handled with great sensitivity and love. We will all be extremely grateful for making her passing from this life so stress-free and for being so supportive
to our entire family.

When my mum arrived at Chestnut Lodge, she was very confused and upset, we were met as we arrived by a member of staff. She calmed Mum down and took her for a tour around the home, which really helped, Mum came back much more relaxed.
It is a fantastic place with so many lovely people. The staff and
management are very caring and lovely to my mum and myself, this is the best thing we have done and we are so grateful.

Every time I fly back to England from Spain to Chestnut Lodge to visit my mum the staff have always been very welcoming, cheerful, helpful and always making sure I’m comfortable with my mum and the surroundings. My mum tells me she likes the staff and carers as they are very nice and kind to her all
the time.

Chestnut Lodge, I can honestly say I'm so happy with the care my partner is receiving from the staff. He is bed bound now and the staff keep him comfortable, clean, feed him and chat away to him. If I need to talk to the manager, or leading nurse, they always take time to reassure me. Overall, I am
100% happy.

My mother receives excellent care in this home. She has a lovely room and the facilities (activities, lounge area, garden, etc.) are second to none. The staff treat all the residents with dignity and are considerate of their individual needs. The manager is wonderful and is always available for a chat
or a meeting. My mum is very happy, well looked after, and provided with many stimulating activities to improve her well-being.

The nurse in charge is very good. The staff are doing their jobs with love.
Sometimes my sister-in-law does not have matching clothes, I was told that my sister-in-law chooses the clothes she wants to wear and sometimes she wears the dirty ones from the basket.

The staff are very caring and the manager is very hands-on. There are entertainment and activities for the residents, including day trips. Visitors are made very welcome. Families are kept well informed and invited to attend meetings. The staff respond quickly to any medical or social needs. It is the
people that make this home welcoming. We moved our mother here from another local home, where the management was hostile and families were not made welcome. We are pleased we moved our mother to Chestnut Lodge.

The staff and the management are brilliant. The care home manager knows all the residents by name and all their relatives. The care staff on my dad's floor are brilliant. They look after the residents as if they were their own family. My dad loves the home and he thinks he is in a hotel. Whenever there
is an issue with dad (e.g. he's had a fall), the home always inform me by email or phone. I could not hope for a safer, happier and more caring place for my dad to live.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Chestnut Lodge is the ideal care home for my stepfather. It is a small home which equates to quality of care. The quality of care is very good. The staff know my stepfather well and show him care and respect.
Prior to becoming a resident at the home, he had been living with ulcers on both legs from
the ankle up to the knees for nearly 4 years. He had district nurses who would visit his house at least twice a week but the ulcers never healed. Within 4 months of living at Chestnut Lodge, his legs were completely healed. The manager and his deputy are extremely helpful and listen to any concerns I have raised and have acted immediately. His nurse is also wonderful.
My stepfather is clean, healthy and presents as happy most of the time. He is living with dementia and this is becoming progressively worse but the care team knows his likes and dislike and support him well.
I have given a top rating because, I know that my stepfather is in good hands.
Reply from Rahi Joshi, Marketing Associate at Chestnut Lodge

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We are happy that your stepfather is progressing with the care provided; our team's hard work is always to maintain our users' care standards as high as possible. Your feedback will be passed on to the home team.

I can’t say how happy I am that Mum is in Chestnut Lodge. She has been here for 1 year now and the transformation is amazing. The carers are wonderful and treat her with respect and humour. Nothing seems to get them down. They cope with her moods (and she has many) with a smile and gentleness. The entertainment
organiser is amazing and she provides activities and outings and shows some days morning and the afternoon. The manager is also amazing. Mum loves him as he always says good morning each day and again he is always smiling and kind.

Very important to have a smile on your face to show good intentions, when caring for people with symptoms of dementia.

This year I believe my mother's health and well-being have been well looked after. The standard of cleanliness in the home has been very good staff and carers are very attentive. I’m very happy with the security that the home provides.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.949) out of 10 for Chestnut Lodge 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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 4.702 for Chestnut Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.702
  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 4.247 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnut Lodge is based on 7 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.547
  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.
