Mum’s been in the home since breaking her ankle in September 2020. The staff have been attentive, helpful, professional and friendly throughout her stay and clearly strive to make Mum feel special!
She certainly looks well for a 95-year-old!

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review of our home. It has been great to see the improvement she has made since she first arrived. Your mum certainly does look well for her age and we love having her here.

Very helpful staff who go out of their way to help my friend settle in and feel comfortable and welcome. A joy to deal with. It's not easy moving from your own home to a care home but this was made simple and stress-free.

I am so pleased I chose to come to Chiltern Grange. I have been here for nine months and throughout this time I have been treated with respect and kindness. The carers are very professional, good at their job and always willing to help where possible. They have a cheerful attitude and work well together
as a team. I am made to feel like a person and not just the old lady in a room. I enjoy the food. There is always a choice on the menus including vegetarian options. I particularly like the little extras such as slices of fruit and homemade biscuits served with my mid-morning drink. The home has good links with the local doctors and surgery so extra advice or help is readily available if needed. Looking after us old people is not an easy task but I reckon Chiltern Grange make a very good job of it. Thank you.

My husband and I have been visiting a friend for a few years now and every time we go we are met with extremely pleasant staff, showing so much professionalism and courtesy, with all public and private areas very clean and fresh. Over the past year during this awful pandemic, the residents have been
kept safe and well and looked after with care and affection. Now that visiting is allowed, the safety precautions are excellent, with concerns for staff, residents and visitors catered for.

My father-in-law has been at Chiltern Grange for just over a year now, being widowed and going in just before lockdown began. Leaving his home of 65 years was a massive upheaval for him. The home were fantastic from day one. He has slowly settled in, with great help and support from all the wonderful
staff. His health has improved both physically and mentally and he enjoys the daily life and entertainment, whilst having his own space when he wants. Communication with us by the home has also been excellent at a difficult time for all. I would highly recommend Chiltern Grange.

The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. The care staff very attentive, picking up an issue with mums physical health recently. Management is always happy to help and quick to respond.

During my mother's stay the care has been exceptional. The staff in all departments she experienced were kind, friendly, professional and could not do enough to keep her comfortable. They have maintained very high standards throughout Covid times with enjoyable activities too. I would definitely highly

From the first phone call, first visit and then Mum actually moving in, all the staff have been incredibly kind and professional. They also relate to all of us and our individual needs really well, my sister and I use humour to deal and my dad is very much a straightforward person.
When we have been
able to visit (which is so easy to arrange and well set up) Mum is always looking good and is obviously very well settled and happy.
At the moment due to Covid we haven't been able to see much more of the home other than our initial visits but it always looks bright and clean.
Thank you everyone.

I am delighted with the overall quality and standard of care that my mum has received at Chiltern Grange. She has been extremely happy with the staff and the care they provide, and in particular, she loves the food! Staff are happy, positive and yet respectful and professional. The floor my mum stays
on is kept immaculate and the staff are always attentive, no matter what time of day. I think they do more than care just for physical needs, they obviously care about the whole person. My mum's health, happiness and general wellbeing seem to be topmost on their agenda, and they always have time to talk things through. I am particularly impressed with the quality of the food, the range of the menu and its presentation. As well as keeping all meals healthy, they provide attention to detail which is exceptional. This includes little snacks like homemade biscuits or cake, as well as all of the main meals. Most of all my mum is happy and safe here, and that's everything I could wish for.

Chiltern Grange looked after Mum for two weeks while we adapted her home following a hospital stay. They responded quickly, efficiently, personally and incredibly kindly to our urgent need. They did a great deal to help rehabilitate Mum for her return home and were very responsive to her high dependency
needs. They are a kind, caring and well run nursing environment and very importantly, the food was lovely. We are very grateful for all they did for us at a difficult time.

The care provided at Chiltern Grange is excellent, I could not be happier in the knowledge that my mum is safe and well. The staff at Chiltern Grange provide superb levels of care in all areas from nursing and general care through to housekeeping and catering. There is always a busy programme of activities
to keep the residents occupied and stimulated with the staff actively encouraging participation.
The management and admin teams provide regular communications to relatives which, under the current circumstances that prevent visiting are invaluable.

This is an exceptional home, I assist two residents at the home who both moved in just before Christmas. One is on the ground floor and the other on the dementia floor and both are being looked after exceptionally well and have settled without a problem.
The home has managed to have in place lots of
activities even through these difficult times and the staff are always friendly and accommodating. The home is clean and the rooms are spacious and the food is varied. Both residents were welcomed on arrival and I felt happy to leave them in the staff's capable hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife (a former social care officer and retired psychotherapist) and I visited and reviewed a number of facilities within 20 miles of our home to select a care home for my older sister. In our opinion, Chiltern Grange was the cleanest, provided the best range of care, the most modern, with the friendliest
staff and the happiest of all those we visited. My sister has been at Chiltern Grange now for over a year and the opinion we initially formed has been substantiated in every aspect, especially in the most trying times.

Having stayed at 'The Grange' previously, I can only say I found my stay rewarding. They can only follow guidelines on Coronavirus as laid out and this has been observed very well. Overall a well-run ship. Always someone to help. Lovely garden to sit in, but the constant drone of the motorway is rather
off-putting. I found it a cheerful place with most people mixing well. The staff are very good, including the office staff. Just wish there was a small shop for necessities.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Chiltern Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.961 for Chiltern Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (493 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 512 Ratings = 4.961
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chiltern Grange Care Home is based on 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 43 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Client Services Manager Joined: 2023

Hello, my name is Jackie Chicken, and I am the Client Services Manager here at Chiltern Grange.


Having previously worked in the retirement sector for four years, I was delighted to make the move into the care sector in 2022. My previous career was spent in the luxury travel industry, so delivering excellent customer service has always been high on my agenda.


Porthaven has a wonderful reputation in terms of quality of care and beautiful design, so I feel very privileged to work for one of the best care providers in the country. My role at Chiltern Grange means I am the first point of contact for families starting out on that journey to find the best fit in terms of a caring environment for their loved ones. I love the fact that we provide person-centred care, and I really enjoy showcasing the wonderful facilities, newly refurbished spaces and exceptional staff we are fortunate enough to have here at Chiltern Grange.


Outside of work, you can find me as a chaperone in the wings of a theatre supporting my daughter or cheering my son on from the side of a rugby pitch!
