Chiltern Grange Care Home has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.939) out of 10, based on 29 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Chiltern Grange Care Home has 184 reviews.
The care home itself has the feel of an upmarket hotel about it and is set in beautiful grounds. It has recently been refurbished to a very high standard, including individual rooms and public spaces. There's now even a bistro/coffee room on the ground floor for residents and their guests.
I highly recommend Chiltern Grange and would happily give it more that the five stars allowed.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback. It is a pleasure having your mother with us and I am glad to hear she is settled.
I suddenly had to move a relative from a hospital ward 100 miles away to be closer to the family. From my first visit to a week later when my mother in law moved in, everything went smoothly and I was so pleased to have found the perfect place. Her room was large and beautifully furnished and she was able to bring small pieces of furniture and her numerous family photographs from her own home which helped her settle in quickly.
All the staff are wonderful.
They are all so friendly, kind, and compassionate from the cleaners, laundry staff and reception staff to the carers and nursing staff and it was so reassuring to see the same familiar staff every day when we visited.
My mother in law was nearing the end of her life when she came to stay at Chiltern Grange but with the fantastic professional care of all the staff she had a dignified, comfortable and peaceful passing.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a review during this difficult time. It was an honour to care for your mother in law and assist in providing her with the comfortable and dignified passing she deserved. Please know that you and your family are always welcome at Chiltern Grange.
My mother spent three months in the care of the wonderful staff at Chiltern Grange. Everyone was extremely caring, kind and highly professional from the initial home assessment to the support for my mother and the visiting family members. We could visit at times that suited us and communication between the staff and family was perfect. Chiltern Grange has a lovely calm atmosphere with the rooms all looking fresh, clean and well presented.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us such positive feedback. I am glad to hear you were happy with the quality of care your mother received while with us.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! My husband has been at Chiltern Grange Care Home since July and the care he has received has been exemplary. All of the staff, without exception, are so friendly and kind to residents and visitors alike. The fact that I can go in anytime I want to, makes visiting very easy. Nobody wants a loved one to have to go into care, but the staff here have totally eliminated the worries I initially had. I can highly recommend this home. A special thank you to one particular member of staff her team, who are looking after him so well.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a five-star review. It is fantastic to hear you would recommend our home to others, and I will pass on your kind words to the rest of our team.
Our mother moved to Chiltern Grange Care Home last year and the care for her throughout her time has been top notch. As well as diligently looking after her they have treated her with respect and accommodated me and my sister's needs for access to mum. The experience with Chiltern when compared with the previous home she stayed in has been like night and day.
It is great to hear that you are happy with the quality of your mother's care. Our aim is for our home to feel like an extension of your own, so we will always endeavour to accommodate any visiting requirements our residents' loved ones may have, which I am glad to hear has been your experience.
My experience of Chiltern Grange is overwhelmingly positive. The staff are diligent and kind and the overall atmosphere is very positive. The food and catering is excellent and the staff regularly get everyone up, dressed, and outdoors. There is lots of entertainment arranged and there is always something going on.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It is important to us that our residents can continue to enjoy a life of their choosing whilst at Chiltern Grange, so we endeavour to provide activities and events that cater to all interests and abilities.
My wife died in the dementia ward after being a resident for 3 months. I felt that she was treated with love, efficiency, and respect, All aspects of her care were excellent. We as relatives were always kept aware of any changes in her condition as soon as they appeared. We are grateful to all the staff.
Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a reveiw during this difficult time. It was an honour to care for your lovely wife, and I am glad to hear you felt she was treated with love, efficiency and respect. Know that you are always welcome at Chiltern Grange.
My brother has been a resident for 4 months. He has settled in well and gets on well with all the staff and most of the other residents. The staff here are so friendly and the whole place has a very welcoming feeling. Always get a smile from everyone and a chat despite how busy they are. We couldn't have wished for a better home for my brother. Oh yes, and the cakes are amazing!
Thank you for taking time to leave a review for Chiltern Grange Care Home. I am so pleased that your brother has settled in so well and have found our team to be so friendly. Please feel free to drop in and enjoy our cakes any time.
My father's care needs changed significantly over the weekend and knowing Chiltern Grange would be able to meet these needs, my mother-in-law is a resident, I contacted the care home on Monday and an assessment was carried out the same day. Fortunately, a bed was available on the floor where his needs could be best met and he commenced his stay on the Tuesday at a time to suit his transport. The welcome from the staff was warm and so encouraging, he loved it immediately. The staff go to great lengths to accommodate the resident's needs and make them feel special. My father is very happy with his last port of call.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review of Chiltern Grange. I have really enjoyed reading your feedback and am so happy you have received such a good experience of our home. We have a fantastic team at Chiltern and I will be certain to share your feedback with them.
I reached a point where I was unable to properly care for my wife who was suffering from breast cancer and Alzheimer's dementia. We searched locally, several care homes but came to the decision that Chiltern Grange had more to offer than others. This decision was more than justified as, over the next sex months my wife received exemplary care from the care manager and through the whole host of staff entrusted with her care. Chiltern Grange, in my opinion, is a role model for caring for those in need at this difficult time of life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of your experience at Chiltern Grange. Choosing a care home for a loved one is so difficult, especially during such a hard time. We feel honoured that you chose Chiltern Grange, and have left us this positive feedback. I am so proud of my team and will be delighted to share your feedback with them.
Although my brother has been at Chiltern Grange for a relatively short time I feel completely confident that this is the perfect place for him. There is a sense of calm - from the moment you walk in the staff are welcoming, friendly, and smiling. The care not only for my brother but for us as a family is exemplary. To know that my brother is well cared for in a pleasant, homely surrounding and above all - safe - is amazing.
It fills me with pride to hear that you feel your brother is receiving the best possible care living with us here at Chiltern Grange. We know it is not always an easy transition, so our team endeavour to support everybody involved in the process right from the start, ensuring you know you are always welcome in our home.
This is the most wonderful home. The manager and a member of staff are very welcoming and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. All the staff are extremely kind, warm and caring. Mum loves it there. We, as a family know that she is in good hands. I only have good things to say about this beautiful home.
Thank you for your positive review, which I will be sure to pass on to the team. It is a pleasure to care for your fantastic mum, and we are glad to hear she enjoys living at Chiltern Grange.
The home and its garden are lovely and very relaxing too.
Thank you so much for taking time to review Chiltern Grange. I am so pleased you have had such a great experience and that your dad feels comfortable. We are very proud of our home, and the beautiful gardens. Hopefully we will have some weather, where we can enjoy them soon. I will pass on your feedback to our team.
I am so grateful for the care my wife is receiving thank you.
Thank you so much for your review of the care your wife receives at Chiltern Grange. I am so pleased that you have been pleased with the care but also that you don't have to worry. I am very proud of our fantastic team so will be delighted to share your feedback.
Happy Grandad, happy me and my parents! The staff were so welcoming and lovely - thank you all for helping my family. No more stress!
And all of that makes for a happy home manager! Thank you for your feedback - it is great to hear your grandad is happy living at Chiltern Grange and that the transition has relieved your family's stress.
My father stayed for a month’s respite in a lovely room and the staff were so attentive and caring. He has put weight back on and he is much less anxious than he was on arrival. He kept telling me that his stay was like being at a five-star hotel. He has even ventured out on the weekly ‘jaunts’ to garden centres, museums, and other places of interest.
Many thanks to all the staff who helped my father’s recuperation along and gave us peace of mind that he was being well cared for.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Chiltern Grange, following your father's respite stay. I am so pleased that his time with us was so beneficial and that he found the home to be akin to a 5-star hotel. It is great that you were able to have peace of mind during his stay with us. Please feel free to pop in for a cup of tea at any point.
My very elderly mother has been at Chiltern Grange for two years now and I can honestly say that she has felt safe, content and totally cared for. The staff are so patient and understanding, the food is great, there’s plenty of different daily activities and the whole ambience is like that of a five-star hotel. What makes a real difference is having regular staff so that she sees the same faces each day and gets a true sense of continuity, however, the real driving force behind the success of Chiltern Grange comes from the manager who has instigated many positive changes there and has personally gone above and beyond to ensure what is best for my mother. Her thoughtfulness and dedication have been remarkable and a true credit to this care home.
Thank you for your glowing review. It fills me with pride to hear that you are happy with every aspect of your mother's care, and I appreciate your kind feedback about myself and my team.
I am always made very welcome when I visit, which I really appreciate.
The facilities are excellent, and my mother's needs are met very well. I am really impressed with the size and comfort of her
room.
In summary, I am extremely happy with Chiltern Grange Care Home and the excellent care they are providing my mother.
It is fantastic to hear that you are happy with the care your mother is receiving, and I will be sure to pass your kind feedback on to the rest of the team.
This is my first visit, I wasn't sure what to expect. My nan's room is beautiful and lovely and clean. The staff were really nice.
Thank you for your positive feedback about our lovely refurbished home and the quality of the staff; it's great to have your nan living here and we look forward to you visiting again!
My husband spent just over two weeks in respite care on the nursing unit at Chiltern Grange in January 2024. After a negative experience previously in a different home, I was so very pleased with the care provided here. My husband was treated with respect and dignity and I felt his care needs were well met during his stay there. I had a couple of minor issues which were addressed quickly and effectively by staff, whose attitudes were consistently compassionate. The food generally was flavoursome and varied. We are both more than satisfied and will be using this home again for future periods of respite.
