A home from home environment.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for today and also looking after my relative with so much care and compassion.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It is great to hear you were impressed with our home and team.
We had to look for care home as the one mum was in was closing down. Jackie, the Client Service Manager was so warm and welcoming. Jackie showed us around the home which was beautifully decorated in an autumnal theme. We were never made to feel rushed. Mum moved in shortly afterwards and she is so happy at Chiltern Grange. Every time we visit mum , she tells us how happy she is to be living there. The rooms are spacious, the staff are amazing, friendly, attentive and caring and mum says the food is 5 stars. Looking forward to the warmer weather so we can sit out in the garden. Thank you to everyone who takes such good care of mum.
This review is truly heartwarming. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review of Chiltern Grange. It is our honour to care for your Mum and we are delighted to hear that you are pleased with the care she receives with us.
The decor is very relaxing and tasteful compared with other homes.
Activities are very good although I think more could be done here to engage residents in with more tailored activities in smaller groups. Example one group may be watching a film and another group, in a smaller area, doing some in chair exercises or painting or discussing the daily newspaper. I love the fact the carers get residents out into the communal lounge area as much as they can as well as eating together in the dining area.
Food/Drink is of a very high standard although I believe this could offer more variety.
Thank you for your feedback. It has been a joy and a pleasure to have your mum with us over the last two years, and I am glad she is happy at Chiltern Grange. We do our best to provide high-quality care, which involves taking the feedback of our residents and their loved ones on board, so it is great to hear you feel we do this well.
Absolutely top notch home. Brilliant atmosphere, always sweet smelling and the staff are friendly, warm and caring. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chiltern Grange for complete peace of mind in knowing your relative is in the best hands.
Thank you for your five star review. It is great to hear such positive feedback about our home and team.
Our first introduction to Chiltern Grange was with Jackie. We needed very short notice rehabilitation care for my Father post surgery. Jackie was incredibly understanding and amazingly responsive. We viewed several options and selected Chiltern Grange based on the quality of the facilities , including bright, practical and recently refurbished ground floor rooms. All the staff we met were very caring and welcoming. My father has decided to extend his stay at Chiltern Grange and has transitioned from rehabilitation to long term care based on his experiences over the last 3 months. Thank you to all the staff for the care and friendship you all extend to my father.
Thank you for your kind review. I am thrilled to hear your father enjoyed his time with us so much that he decided to stay - it is a pleasure having him with us.
The care my wife has recieved over the past 9 months from the staff has been consistantly genuine which is very reassuring, she was previously in another care home where the staff were less interested in the residents.
The enthusiasm and direction from the management team provides a positive envoirenment which is reflected by the staff in all parts of the home.
There are a range of facilities and and common rooms in the building providing alternative places which the residents and relatives can use, and very pleaseant gardens which means that residents can enjoy outside space and fresh air.
The residents rooms are spacious en-suite and well laid out.
It is not easy being parted from my wife but there is no difficulty seeing her whenever I want to visit., and most other visiting relatives of residents seem relaxed and comfortable to chat to which adds to a pleasant and natural atmosphere.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the care your wife has received over the past nine months with us. It's heartwarming to hear that our staff's genuine approach has made a positive impact on your experience. It is an honour to care for your wife.
We would highly recommend Chiltern Grange.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review of Chiltern Grange. Caring for your mother and supporting families is at the heart of everything we do and we are so grateful for the trust you placed in us.
When my Dad's dementia was advanced we had to find a local care home in Buckinghamshire where he would be well looked after. Having visited Chiltern Grange it was evident that we had found exactly the right place as it stood out head and shoulders above the rest. Not only was it situated in the Chiltern Hills close to my family home with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and set in beautiful landscaped gardens, but the building was modern and spacious with well-appointed bedrooms, excellent communal living spaces, delicious nutritional meals, fun activities and regular entertainment. However, what makes Chiltern Grange really special are the people. Both the staff and volunteers are welcoming, friendly, warm, polite, compassionate, respectful and above all else exceedingly caring. My Mum was so impressed with the home that she has decided to live there permanently as well. Although sadly my Dad has now passed I take comfort from knowing my Mum could not be in safer hands.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind and thoughtful review of Chiltern Grange. Your words mean a lot to our team. It was an honour to care for your father. Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your mother. We extend our gratitude to you and your family.
Spotlessly clean
Thank you for taking the time to leave a five-star review. I will pass your kind words onto our team.
All the staff there are wonderful, every time we arrive we are met by happy smiling polite members of staff, who ask how we are and are willing to help us straight away.
The level of care, patience and compassion my dad receives is incredible, the food is always delicious and the place is spotlessly clean.
When someone you love has this condition and you have to hand them over to strangers to be cared for it can be very distressing, but because of the care he is receiving we can all relax a bit. It really is so comforting for me, my dad's wife, his granddaughter, all the rest of my dad's family and his close friends, who visit on a regular basis.
I cannot thank every member of staff at Chiltern Grange enough for being the team they are.

Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a five-star review. It means the world to know that your father and your whole family feel supported by us. We understand how difficult it can be to entrust a loved one with Alzheimer's to others and we are honoured to care for him. Thank you again for your trust.
My husband was a resident on the Dementia floor of Chiltern Grange recently. He was treated with care and compassion by all members of staff and all his needs met promptly. Our family were able to be involved with all aspects of his care at all times. In essence the care at Chiltern Grange is exemplary
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. It is wonderful to hear that your husband feels at home at Chiltern Grange.
Over the past year, whenever we have visited our friend here, he has seemed increasingly comfortable and 'at home' and as visitors we too feel very at ease and welcome in the relaxed atmosphere such that we positively look forward to our regular visits. The staff are so attentive and, most importantly, kind and patient in their care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review. It means the world to us that your friend feels comfortable with us, we will pass your kind words onto our team.
The staff are exceptional people ! Nothing is too much trouble.
The building is tastefully furnished and you truly feel like you are in a hotel rather than a care home !
The meals are outstanding and the attention to detail in the restaurant is so uplifting for the clients but their families too - flowers on the tables to name a few extra things that make it special .
I can sleep at night knowing my beloved brother is being well cared for and no harm will come to him in their care .
I only wish I was closer in distance to visit him more often .
A million thank you's to all the staff !
Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind words. As a team, we truly appreciate knowing that your brother feels at home and cared for. You and your family are always welcome at Chiltern Grange.
My grandma has been at Chiltern Grange since March 2024 and I am so grateful for the care she receives. The staff are kind, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make residents feel safe and valued. The home is spotless, with beautifully kept courtyard gardens and spacious, homely rooms offering lovely views of the grounds and surrounding fields. There's a welcoming bistro area for family and friends to enjoy refreshments with their loved ones. The chef is fantastic and the food is always freshly cooked and varied. There are always lots of fun, creative activities for residents, with regular entertainment and themed events like summer and Christmas parties with live music and family involvement. My grandma is treated with dignity and compassion every day. The management team are exceptional - kind, caring, and care deeply about the residents. Having experienced other care homes in the past, I can confidently say Chiltern Grange outshines them all.
Thank you for your five star review. We work hard to ensure every aspect of life in our home is exemplary, from our food to the care we provide, so it is great to receive such validating feedback.
We are deeply grateful for the gentle, compassionate care my mum is receiving at Chiltern Grange. As she nears the end of her life, every member of staff has shown extraordinary kindness, patience, and attention to detail. They treat her with dignity and respect, always taking time to ensure she's comfortable, calm, and surrounded by warmth. From the way they speak to her, to the small comforts they remember - every gesture is filled with genuine care. The atmosphere is peaceful and reassuring, and it means the world to us to know she is in such capable, loving hands. Thank you for making this difficult time so much more bearable through your compassion and dedication.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words and for taking the time to share your experience. It means so much to every member of our team to know that the care we provided brought comfort and reassurance to you and your mum during such a sensitive time. It was an honour and a privilege to care for...
Really pleased with the home that is provided for Mum at Chiltern Grange - she has settled in really well and we have peace of mind knowing she is being looked after really well. The home is a very nice environment to visit and there are lots of activities provided for the residents --though Mum isn't the best at joining in but at least she can if she wants to !
I am glad to hear you feel your mum is receiving the care she deserves at Chiltern Grange. It is a pleasure to have her with us.
My Dad was only with Chiltern Grange for around 17 days and yet in that short space of time, Chiltern Grange became our new normal, and a new home. To be able to spend every minute with Dad was priceless, as one member of the family left another couple arrived and so it went on. From the minute you step through the first set of doors you're made to feel like family and welcomed with open arms.
The food was lovely, help yourself to drinks and snacks at the Bistro in the reception area.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us such a heartfelt review during this difficult time. It was an honour to care for your dad, and we miss him dearly. Please know you are always welcome at Chiltern Grange.
My sister moved to Chiltern Grange Care Home in July 2024. The nurse care team gave an excellent review of her care over the last six months. I was given details of my sister's personal care, social interaction with other residents and health issues in a clear and easy to understand format.
I am glad to hear you felt our team made sure the information you required was accessible and easily understandable. We know how important it is to feel informed and involved in a loved one's care.
Thank you everyone.
It fills me with pride to hear we have been able to provide the right environment for your grandmother to thrive in. It is a pleasure to have her with us!
We visit my brother-in-law at least once a week. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. The food looks very appetising and well presented. My brother-in-law's room is always clean and comfortable. He seems to enjoy the outdoor activities though enjoys his own company whilst in the home. Overall I would recommend Chiltern Grange Care Home.
I am glad to hear you enjoy your visits and feel satisfied with the quality of our home.
