The facility itself is impressive, with modern rooms and beautiful furniture that give it a five-star hotel feel. Visitors are greeted warmly by the staff, who always have a welcoming smile.

My aunt has been in Chartwell House for coming up to two years. I have had experience of many care homes for elders in my family. The care and resident attention at Chartwell is the best that I have seen. A key factor is the constant fun that Chartwell brings to the residents through the daily activities and outings.

The service right through from the initial assessment process and admittance to now has been first class.
It was clear that all the staff are fully briefed about new arrivals as from day 1. All the staff including maintenance and kitchen staff knew mum by name.
The care mum has received has been efficient, caring and compassionate.
The daily activities are well planned and tailored to the residents needs. All residents are encouraged to participate as much as they want to.
The food menu is varied and excellent quality, all staff are clearly well motivated and take pride in their work.
The home is clean and well maintained.
We are looking forward to mum having many happy years at Chartwell House.

The home was beautiful and decor outstanding. Staff greeting you on your arrival were all very cheerful. My mother's room was comfortable and again decorated to a high standard. Having two chairs in the bedroom was great for visitors. The room was kept clean and tidy and nothing was too much trouble for the staff involved, even when my mother asked for different pillows, that was attended to straight away.
Using the Bistro was extremely pleasant and having visitors and sitting in the lounge area was enjoyable and again the staff were on hand to provide drinks and pleasantries.
The meals provided were excellent and very generous. Having a glass of wine with the meals made it feel more like home.
Just like to say thank you again to all the staff for everything they did for my mother.

Can't thank the staff at Chartwell House enough for caring for my dad. It's a tough, emotionally draining time for relatives, so can't imagine how hard it is for the staff, looking after so many elderly guests at the home. But they have been wonderful. Kind, patient and more than happy to help...
Can't thank the staff at Chartwell House enough for caring for my dad. It's a tough, emotionally draining time for relatives, so can't imagine how hard it is for the staff, looking after so many elderly guests at the home. But they have been wonderful. Kind, patient and more than happy to help whenever asked. Angels, all of them.

Staff are highly trained, compassionate and genuinely dedicated to the well-being of the residents, who they all know by name. During visits, family members are also warmly welcomed.
A monthly calendar of activities engages residents, both morning and afternoon. These include music, art and craft, quizzes and accessible exercise sessions in the lounges or outside in the large gardens. Outings to local shops, cafes and seafronts are an important and safely organised part of mums care.

Thankfully, a room became available at Chartwell and, since then, our lives have brightened and the burden of this awful disease has been alleviated. I now know that all of my husband's needs are met in this comfortable and spotlessly clean home. The food is varied, well presented and nutritious and he is provided with every comfort. More importantly, the wonderful staff genuinely know him and care for him. Nothing is too much trouble for them and I can see that he is relaxed and contented in their company.
Chartwell has lifted the stress and sadness from our family's situation and we are eternally grateful for their loving kindness. I cannot speak more highly of this wonderful home.

We chose Chartwell House for numerous reasons; specialist 'memory' facilities, spacious and well laid out environment, welcoming atmosphere and it was quite apparent to us that it was well resourced in terms of staffing and the wide range of stimulating/fun activities available for residents. (They produce and share a schedule for the month ahead which outlines activities available each morning and afternoon).
The standard of care has been first class - and the staff go out of their way to be helpful and supportive to us as a family too, which is so appreciated especially when you have a close family member with dementia. Being able to book a table in their Bistro area and have a meal with your loved one is also a special feature of Chartwell House.

We were in for 3 weeks respite and made to feel very welcome. The staff were very friendly and would do their utmost to fulfil any requests made. The new building was pristine having only been open for less than 2 years and the fixtures and fittings gave the impression of a good class hotel. We particularly liked the Bistro, the actual meeting place where most of the activity occurred and smaller lounges were available on all floors. The food was usually well-cooked. The entertainment team had events morning and afternoon and were very jolly. The gardens gave the impression of tranquillity with plenty of seats and sunshades. Overall, we found little to complain about.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that your respite stay was welcoming and comfortable. It's great to know that you enjoyed the Bistro, the activities, and the peaceful gardens. We're glad our team made a positive impact during your time with us. Your feedback is truly appreciated, and we're pleased that you felt at home at Chartwell House.

My sister has been at Chartwell just over a year now and despite saying "I'm not selling my bungalow" before coming and has never looked back from the day she arrived. She knows and gets on extremely well with both residents and staff. She joins in with all activities provided by the Home and her friends and family are made very welcome. Chartwell was recommended to us and we are delighted with it. My wife and I could not have found a better home for her to live out her latter years.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're happy to hear that your sister has settled in so well and enjoys being part of our community. It's great to know she feels at home and that you and your wife are pleased with her care. We're truly grateful for your trust and the review, it means a lot to us.

I have worked within office environments for the last seven years since finishing my education, with my knowledge predominately within the care industry.
In my spare time, I enjoy visiting the cinema, participating in gym activities and spending time with my family and friends.
I feel privileged to be doing this role and I am looking forward to welcoming in the residents and getting to know them and their families.
The most rewarding part of caring for me is making others smile and making a difference. I am excited to utilise my knowledge here at Chartwell House and to be a part of the growing team.
