A very happy home from the management downwards, with smiley faces from all the staff!
I know my mother albeit in the final stages of Dementia still feels the love and care the staff provide and that is priceless in my opinion! Thank you.

The care home is a lovely, safe place, with a high standard of trained staff. It's always clean, tidy and welcoming.
The care home is very active, with trips out and has a year-round calendar of events, as well as a lovely garden for summer activities.
The staff and management are very supportive
and caring for relatives, which is very important.

Chestnut Lodge provides the care and compassion that you would wish for any loved family member. Over the last few years whilst my mum has been resident I have visited weekly and always, without exception, receive a warm and caring welcome. The manager and staff are so kind and considerate and I could
not wish for my mum to be in a better place. The atmosphere is like being in a family home, full of fun, laughter, energy and inclusion. Every effort is made to adapt to the needs of the residents and families. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and kindness is at the core of everything. For the first time in many years I can sleep at night knowing my mum is safe and well cared for and that comfort is priceless. Thank you to the manager and all the staff who contribute to this. I will be forever grateful.

My brother was lucky enough to be referred to the Chestnut Lodge about two years ago. He has settled in well and all his needs are taken care of. As a relative who visits him regularly, l have experienced nothing but support and a friendly atmosphere from the excellent team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our father was placed in this care home due to dementia. I live in California and they always communicated any concerns regarding my father. The day and night staff are awesome, very caring and attentive towards the elderly. Activities are always going on and relaxing music playing including lots of
music oldies from the 50s, 60s, 70s, which my dad enjoyed so much.
I'd like to personally thank all staff who helped my dad. Not only did you care and support my dad, but supported me too in the end. The final hours before Dad passed the night staff knew Dad's religious preference was catholic, they were so kind to put on a channel where the rosary prayer was recited for him. I highly recommend Chestnut Lodge from management to the staff, they are amazing. Thank you for caring for my dad.

The manager and his team are amazing, Chestnut Lodge Care Home is very homely and carers are very caring to all their residents. They care for my husband with great care and attention. It's a great relief to me, also my family, knowing that he is being cared for and looked after so well. They are all
amazing, the whole of the care home. Can't praise them enough. Best care home by far, would not want him to be anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Exceptional!
Mum spent four and a half years at Chestnut Lodge Care Home, Ealing until she sadly passed away in August 2021. From the outset, my two sisters and I were reassured by the genuine care and affection she received.
Mum flourished in the warm and friendly environment and actively participated
in the various social activities provided. The care staff were always welcoming during our weekly visits and treated Mum more as a friend than a mere resident. This delighted both her and us.
We appreciated the "open door" policy of the manager who was ably assisted by his excellent administrator. This meant we could discuss Mum's condition at any time and receive honest answers. When minor niggles occurred, these were dealt with immediately and effectively.
We count ourselves fortunate that Mum was at Chestnut Lodge, Ealing.
They fulfilled their role as a true "care" home.

I have recommended Chestnut Lodge to many people. I personally know three other residents other than my mother in Chestnut Lodge because of my recommendation. My mother is always clean, cared for, supported and loved. All the other residents I recommended are happy there.

Both the staff and facilities have put mu mind at rest on many occasions. Being her primary carer after over 40 A&E hospital visits, I was at a loss as to how I could best manage a transition to a care home at 92-years-old. The staff have been incredible - from the moment Mum moved in, to the current
day. And all this throughout a pandemic.

Welcomed and promptly seen to at reception. Due to Covid, Mummy then bought to the lounge by one of the staff, who are always courteous. Though it's been a difficult time these past few months, Chestnut Lodge staff and management have made the visits go smoothly and safely for all my family visits.
Thank you.

As soon as I walked into Chestnut Lodge I felt welcome and the warmth within. The manager is very caring and knows his clients well, relating to them all individually. My sister was admitted in December 2015 since which she has thoroughly enjoyed all the organised activities offered - outings, singing
sessions, poetry readings, parties etc and she has even learnt to paint. She has always been treated with kindness and compassion. Unfortunately, she has gradually deteriorated both mentally and physically but her care has not altered, i.e. care and attention. Even though as her NOK I have some distance, I would be very very reluctant to move her.

Our mum sadly passed away recently, having spent the last 3.5 years in your care. From the first difficult weeks when Mum moved into Chestnut Lodge, it was very obvious that there were people around Mum who really cared, were kind and had Mum's best interests at heart, which was then and has always
remained great comfort to us all. Not only looking after Mum but also helping us, the family and friends, on our journey in dealing with Dementia. We have nothing but praise for the management and the team. Finally, I want to say that we are so grateful for the opportunity to visit Mum over the summer. Every visit we had will remain a precious memory so thank you for managing that so we could.

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.
