I visited my mum for the first time since she moved into the home two weeks previously. Her room is lovely and very much her own. The home itself is spotless, bright and airy with plenty of comfortable areas to sit in out of the residents rooms. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. My mum is very happy and so much more animated since we last saw her a month ago. She is enjoying all the activities that are on offer which is lovely to see. We had lunch with her on our visit and that was very good too. Looking forward to our next visit.
Thank you for your lovely words. What stands out most to us is hearing how happy and animated your mum has become since joining Chartwell House. Seeing someone settle, engage and enjoy life is exactly what we hope for, and we're delighted that your visit gave you that reassurance. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

My 90 years old mother stayed at Chartwell House for respite in March, whilst I had a break away. She was so very well looked after by carers and management. The room was nice and comfy and she felt very safe there too. Lots of things always going on and 3 good meals a day. Would recommend 100%.

This home has taken care & needs of Anne into consideration and thou it is run professionally, it is a caring friendly environment that takes all the time to deal with any situation that arises & up dates me regular with anything that arises. The caring nature of all the staff to the pleasant greeting from reception right through is a credit to the environment and I am very happy we found this place.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that Anne's care has been so well supported and that you feel kept informed and reassured.

I'd been looking at a number of care homes for my mum who has been living with Alzheimer's. Some of the places I visited were good, others broke my heart. After one particularly depressing viewing, I cycled over to Chartwell House to see if I might make an appointment with them. The moment the...
I found myself in a beautiful lobby that was on a par with a 5-star boutique hotel; but it wasn't just the décor and facilities, it was the 'feeling' that the place had. The receptionist, Helen, welcomed me in right away and arranged for the admissions manager, Jude, to meet with me there and then. I was given a tour, and more importantly, I was given time and understanding. I could see clearly that the ethos was all about enabling the residents to continue living, rather than just sitting around to wait out the final chapter.
The facilities, dementia care and activity programme are exactly what Mum needs. We are so grateful. Thank you.

As mum's health deteriorated after the death of her husband, we looked around care home options in our area. It had to be somewhere mum would be happy. Looking round Chartwell we were impressed at once with the fresh modern decor and the friendliness of the staff. The fact they have a nautical theme running throughout seemed to be a sign as mum's husband was in the Royal Navy. Although it was very difficult leaving her home, she now calls Chartwell 'home'. We are happy knowing that the amazing staff not only give her the best care, but also have interesting and fun activities if she wants to participate, but if she doesn't she has a bright and spacious room overlooking the gardens if she wants to stay there. As mum says, nothing is too much trouble. We cannot fault the care and attention she receives. Book a tour, see for yourself!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're delighted that your mother feels at home at Chartwell and enjoys both the care and activities on offer. Our team takes great pride in providing personalised support and creating a welcoming, comfortable environment for every resident. It means a lot to know that our efforts make a difference for both residents and their families!

My mum has been a resident at Chartwell House for over 18 months. We know she is in safe hands and well looked after. Chartwell House was the best choice for mum when we needed to find a home for her, and she has been happy there since day 1, and most importantly, we know that she is safe and happy. The staff are lovely, the facilities are clean, and there are a wide variety of activities for mum to join in /watch as she decides. It is easy to visit mum at times that work for us, and the bistro means mum feels like she feels she is treating us to coffee like she did in her previous life. I am very pleased with mum's care at Chartwell House and would recommend Chartwell House to anyone looking for the next forever home for their loved one
