The team at Chestnut Lodge looked after my mother from April 2023 until her death in December 2024. I can not praise them enough for the care that they provided for my mother or the great dignity with which she was treated as her dementia became worse toward the end of her life. Everyone at Chestnut lodge treated her with care, compassion and respect. On behalf of my family and myself I would like to thank them all for providing her with a safe and comfortable home for the past two years.
Thank you for your kind comments. Your mother settled in quickly to become a part of the Chestnut Family. Personally, I enjoyed our daily chats and tales of her childhood. Looking after your mother was a pleasure.

The decision to move our mum into a nursing home was very difficult for our family, but from the very first visit to view Chestnut Lodge, we knew we had found the right home where she would be taken care of. We were immediately told not to worry and that they would take care of our mum, and from then onwards the whole team at Chestnut Lodge provided the most unbelievable love, care and support not only to my mum, but to our entire family. From the amazing carers to the excellent nursing staff and the thoughtful and considerate management team they showed such a high level of care that we all felt looked after and part of their family and we can never thank them enough. We cannot speak highly enough about the entire Chestnut Lodge family and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Thank you so much for your kind words that I have passed on to the team. It was a pleasure looking after your mother and getting to know your family. I am pleased we were able to support you all.

Thank you for your review. It has been and remains a pleasure caring for your wife. You are both part of the Chestnut family.
The staff are very caring and considerate. Mum is being well cared for.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Your kind words are very much appreciated and I will pass them on to the team.
It's comforting to know that she is in safe hands when we can't be with her as we live so far away.

Thank you for your review. We always aim to make our residents' lives as happy as they can be and having her family around her for her birthday was an opportunity to do that. She is a special lady and deserves such a happy day.
The first time my husband went to stay at a care home. I could not fault the home, staff, or overall experience.

Thank you for your feedback. It was a pleasure having your husband stay here on a short break. We look forward to seeing him again.
Staff were always engaging with Nan so lovely to see her happy here.

Thank you for your feedback which is always welcome. It was clear that your Nan enjoyed her birthday, especially as some family members had traveled long distances to be with her. We enjoy looking after her and look forward to future visits from all your family & friends.

Given time to look around. Wow, it's a beautiful clean home. The food looked delicious. Just where you need your loved ones to be cared for with care love fun and dignity.
Thank you. It is a pleasure looking after your Father and I am pleased with your feedback, which I will pass on to the team. Chestnut Lodge is a special place and I think you summed it up - care, love, fun, and dignity.
Such kind, caring staff who genuinely care. Staff always ready to listen and reassure family. Good-sized rooms. I have seen many homes in my professional career and Chestnut Lodge is the only one I would recommend and also be happy to have a relative in. Fully supported through the end-of-life...

Thank you so much for those kind words - my staff will really appreciate that.

From his arrival, he has been supported in a way that suits his needs. He can be a little complicated but all staff understand how to support him.

I am very grateful for the care my Dad received and would recommend this home to any other families whose loved one requires a similar level of care.
It was genuinely a privilege to look after your father who was a remarkable man.
My wife entered the lodge with Parkinson's disease and dementia. From the start she was treated with the utmost kindness by all the staff. Her eating and drinking was problematic and every effort was made to entice her to have snacks rather than set meals. She remained content and cared for till...
My wife entered the lodge with Parkinson's disease and dementia. From the start she was treated with the utmost kindness by all the staff. Her eating and drinking was problematic and every effort was made to entice her to have snacks rather than set meals. She remained content and cared for till the very end.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure looking after your lovely wife and, although she was not with us for very long, I know she is missed by the entire team at Chestnut Lodge.
I have been struggling to care for my wife. Within 24 hours of contacting Chestnut Lodge, initially for respite, she was a resident, but I think permanent care. The short time she has been there, I cannot fault the staff or the facilities.

When I was told that my Grandad was going into a home I was worried as I knew he wouldn't want to do it. I thought he might be sad, missing his family and especially his wife, but Chestnut Lodge has been a revelation. They really look after him and care. Far from being sad he has settled in and...
When I was told that my Grandad was going into a home I was worried as I knew he wouldn't want to do it. I thought he might be sad, missing his family and especially his wife, but Chestnut Lodge has been a revelation. They really look after him and care. Far from being sad he has settled in and appears brighter and happier than he has been for ages. I put off visiting him for a few weeks, but when I did I was surprised by how nice it was - and it didn't smell. The food looks good and he is putting on weight. He has a nice room including his own shower. The staff also try to entertain all the residents, including trips to the pub next door! Sadly, it's getting harder to talk to my grandad about things that are going on, he used to be really interested in current affairs, but he is happy in his new home. It would be wrong to name any particular member of staff as they are all good. If you are faced with finding a home for a loved one then I recommend you look round Chestnut Lodge.
Thank you for your review. It is a pleasure looking after your grandad - he regularly makes us all laugh. I am pleased you have not singled out an individual in our team as they are all a credit to our home. Thank you. Home Manager.
My wife moved into Chestnut Lodge Care Home for the last few weeks of her life and I cannot speak too highly of the personal care and compassion that was shown to her from the day of arrival to the day of her death. She was looked after as an individual person, with kindness and consideration 24...
Entering Chestnut Lodge as a resident or a relative is to join a caring, welcoming family home. I could not have wished for a better place for her to be for the final chapter of her life. I just wish she could have been there earlier.
We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
