The home has gone downhill. Management overall is not good, needs a big improvement. Staff shortage and cleanliness could be better at times, as can activities.

I hold POA for my cousin who could no longer live in her own home as she became increasingly anxious and likely to wander. Chestnut Lodge made a transfer as simple as possible and were helpful throughout. My cousin has now been resident there for nearly 3 months. She looks well and the staff take a personal interest too. The home is clean and well run. Meals are good and visitors welcome. Dementia is a horrible illness and my cousin is understandably very frustrated sometimes. The home appears to be dealing with this well.

Having had an unfortunate experience at his previous home we were a little apprehensive at him being moved to The Chestnut Lodge. We were delighted at this lovely home. The manager is a delight, a straight forward and understanding person. She and her wonderful team know exactly the type of approach needed in this Dementia environment. Consequently, he has settled well and all his needs are cared for. I cannot express how happy and delighted we are that he is in such a caring home. The Manager and her team do an outstanding job. May I also say how fresh and clean the home is and we love the atmosphere so happy and bright. A HUGE thank you all who work so so hard to maintain this wonderful home.

My father went to Chestnut Lodge with dementia in February 2015. He was incontinent and virtually wheel chair bound. My mother although fit and well, was struggling despite 2x daily care visits and good family support. Since going to Chestnut Lodge dad has become much more mobile, visits the toilet unaided (he still needs pads), and just seems happier altogether. Mum, now living alone also appears to have improved, has gained weight and is much happier, she is always made welcome when she visits dad. The whole family are grateful for improving the quality of life for dad and mum. Cannot fault them.
