Thank you for taking the time to review Chesterton Lodge and we are pleased you rate our staff as excellent. It's great to know that you're happy with your husband's care and I'll pass on your kind comments regarding our team. We have previously addressed the issue with the curtain but will look into this matter again to possibly arrange new curtains. We arrange engaging activities with our residents' input but respect a person's wishes if anyone indicates they don't want to participate. I'm always happy to discuss feedback to ensure day-to-day life is the best it can be for residents and loved ones.

Feeling frightened, angry and disappointed on arrival to Chesterton Lodge (about leaving her own home & hospital) My mother-in-law soon settled into her 'new home'. 2 days later the words 'it's lovely here, they bring you your food, everyone's king. They wash my clothes and they bring them back the next dasy, I've had my hair done, it's like a hotel'. Wow! How reassuring/comforting it was for her family to hear her speak. My mother-in-law's needs have been met, staff always available to discuss, listen and act to any concerns, arranging medical care for a skin condition, arranging an optometrist to check her vision. We are so relieved and happy to see her so settled. As she continues to stay at Chesterton Lodge we now hope that with encouragement she will become less reluctant to refuse and being to participate in the enrichment activities planned/available. Thank you everyone for welcoming her into the home and making such a positive difference for us all. xx

My sister in law is receiving excellent care at Chesterton Lodge. There is a welcoming atmosphere when we visit and the staff are mostly pleasant and approachable. The home is clean and comfortable and the staff go to a great deal of trouble to decorate it beautifully for celebrations. Mealtimes are well organised and, on reading the menu, I can see that the meals are well balanced and nutritious. Communication from the home is very good. I would certainly recommend Chesterton Lodge.

My grandma had been at Chesterton Lodge for a few years. Although I wasn't satisfied with the level of care she received over the past couple of years, when her health declined and she began her end-of-life journey, the staff truly shone. In particular, the senior care leader, along with certain carers and several others whose names I can't recall, were incredible. They were extremely attentive to my grandma and our family. They even offered us a room opposite my grandma's so we could rest while we stayed with her around the clock during her final days. Although the staffing levels at night are concerning, with only four staff members for 60 residents, they still managed to take care of us, ensuring we were comfortable and taking the time to talk to us. Their genuine care was evident when my grandma passed away, and they were visibly upset. Thank you, team, for your kindness.

My Dad came to Chesterton Lodge in December 2022 and lived there for 13 months until he sadly passed away in January 2024. As a family we cannot fault his care, everything we asked of the dedicated staff was done for my Dad. My mum visited him nearly every day and also stayed for her dinner with...
In 2023 my elderly uncle had some falls at home and after a spell in hospital, my cousin and I also put my uncle to live there permanently. When visiting we used to take my uncle up to my dad or vice versa. My uncle is still living happily there and we still visit him weekly. As with a previous review, the staff are one of the best assets of Chesterton Lodge and go above and beyond with everything they are asked to do.
My mum is now needing more care from the family and if needed we wouldn't hesitate to put her into Chesterton Lodge for respite in a view to living there permanently in fact she keeps asking to go and live there so she isn't on her own at night.
I have been made very welcome and comfortable here and the staff are very kind and professional and I have settled in very well.

His care has been very good and if he has had a problem it has been sorted out straight away. He has been made to be part of the one big family and although he was very unsure at first he has settled in very well.
I visit my father every Wednesday and he's always praising the staff. His room I always kept clean. The staff are brilliant, thank you to all at Chesterton Lodge.

Sadly my beautiful mum passed away in December 2023. Mum had been a resident at Chesterton Lodge for the past 2 years. No care home will ever seem good enough for your loved one but I would like to thank all of the staff for the care and love shown to my mum. The staff are caring and kind and deserve a high amount of praise. I was always kept informed of any changes in my mum. Thank you all for everything. Anchor care homes should go the extra mile for their staff.

My Mother was admitted to Chesterton Lodge following her hospital admission having had a series of falls. At this time she was not eating and struggling to walk. The staff were wonderful with her, taking care of her every need and making her feel safe and cared for. I am so amazed at the improvement in Mum, so much so that she will returning to her home. Thank you Chesterton Lodge - you are all amazing.
There are no or very few activities...
There are no or very few activities and from what I have seen the residents do not get to even access the lovely gardens. I would imagine due to low staffing levels. Like a greenhouse in summer no air conditioning. Other homes in the area run by the same company are a delight to visit and see what activities the residents have been involved in uploaded onto Social media.
Acceptable if you want your loved one to sit in an armchair all day.
Do your research ignore the CQC report and compare with other care providers. Scratch away at the surface and read the reviews.

Thank you for your review, your feedback is greatly appreciated and we will work on the points raised. Regarding activities and events, our Wellness Coordinator works closely with the team at Chesterton to deliver activities throughout the day using our whole team approach. Our residents are also involved in district level events, such as Bake Off competitions, Summer Fayres or celebrating Pride Month. We will ensure these are uploaded more frequently on our home`s social media channels. Our contingency plan for hot weather identified the risk of the building overheating, therefore adequate supply of fans and free-standing air conditioning units have been purchased, together with room thermometers, to ensure our colleagues are monitoring and reporting concerns related to indoor temperature. Our residents have access to the garden whenever they request to do so, or there are outdoor activities taking place. More patio furniture and gazebos have been purchased.

At Chesterton Lodge, we found the absolute epitome of the perfect care home.
Yes, the building is new, purpose-built, safe and secure - all you would want. However, its crown jewel is the staff - professional, caring, compassionate, sensitive, and I go as far as to say loving. I feel personally humbled by everyone's dedication here. They are all so proud of this home, and rightly so. We feel so lucky to have found it. Don't hesitate to look around it.
The staff are utterly fantastic and all of them show complete care and commitment. The rooms are bright and airy and food is plentiful and of a high standard.
Overall, we are very satisfied with the service...

Mum was in Chesterton Lodge Care Home for some years. The staff are always helpful, pleasant and showed great care with Mum and my family. There has been a lack of management over the last few years but hopefully they have now got a permanent person in place. If there had been any issues they have always addressed them promptly which you can't ask for anything more. I would certainly recommend Chesterton Lodge for anyone looking for respite or permanent care.
