Over all time Chiltern Grange Care Home has 184 reviews.
This review is very recent based on the new home manager. She is very approachable and is always listening and watching the residents and carers. She has made many changes for all the right reasons. It is so important that she continues with this beautiful home.
My mother moved into Chiltern Grange in September, she was very depressed living on her own. She is now a new person and looks forward to every day, she also enjoys the trips out.
My mother was at home here, her room was comfortable, personal, warm, clean and always smelled fresh including the en suite. The entire establishment felt like home. The food was varied, restaurant standard and tailored to individual diets. I cannot fault any staff, Mum felt at home.
I did feel at times that the workload was greater than the staffing levels, particularly with the qualified nursing staff, that said, I cannot speak highly enough of all the teams involved in my care both on the nursing floor and on the respite care floor. Thank you so much.
My husband went to Chiltern Grange for two week's respite care - this was the first time he had been away from home and my 24-hour care. I was very anxious about how he would react but I need not have worried. He was given a lovely welcome and made comfortable in his pleasant room. The overall standard of the care home is excellent; it is very clean, and the facilities are very good. The staff are very kind and helpful and treated my husband with dignity and looked after him very well. The catering is of high quality and he ate very well. In the afternoons there were often activities going on and they organise singers etc on a regular basis. When I collected my husband, the staff were very helpful. All his clothes were laundered and everything was smelling very fresh, so I welcomed not having to get home to do a lot of washing! I was very impressed with the care home and my husband will definitely return when I need my next break. The cost is rather high though!
My husband has acute Alzheimers and cannot walk or stand unaided. The staff who attended him were so very kind and helpful and they really cared about the resident and what they were doing. Whenever I visited there was always three or four staff sitting with the residents looking to see if they were comfotable or just talking with them. The atmosphere in the home was one of fun, comfort and homeliness and I would recommend Chiltern Grange to anyone.
Dad has late age onset dementia, yet he currently resides on the 'assisted living' floor. Either myself, my wife, or both of us visit at least once a week. Despite his memory issues, he is ALWAYS relaxed, happy, comfortable, well-groomed and well-fed! The staff clearly understand the foibles of each resident and deal with every eventuality tactfully and always with a gentle smile.
My mother has settled into Chiltern Grange Care Home well thanks to all the caring and loving staff. She is happy and well cared for and there is always a welcoming community atmosphere. There is a full programme of activities and mum has enjoyed short outings particularly to the local garden nursery. They have an excellent chef who has been so good catering for my mums needs as she requires a gluten free diet. The staff have all been so supportive not just to my mum but to us all as a family.
I was very worried about putting my Mum in a care home but the Chiltern Grange has been fantastic and took away all my concerns. She has been there 5 months now and is loving it. I recently went to the July garden party and it was excellent and my Mum and I had a fantastic time.
This care home is like a Four Star Hotel with excellent nursing care.
I placed my mother in the Chiltern Grange in February 2019. For the two periods I have been with my mother (I live abroad), I have been exceptionally impressed with all the staff, the level of care and concern. My mother also sings your praises, which we never thought we would hear as she was loathed to go into a care home, but circumstances made it unavoidable. My mother's health has significantly improved and we cannot thank you enough.
Mum was only in Chiltern Grange for a few months but the care she received from all the staff was excellent. When it became obvious she was not going to recover, they all did their very best to make her last few weeks as comfortable and dignified as possible. They also did a huge amount to support me and help to alleviate what was a very sad and difficult time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chiltern Grange as a welcoming, safe and well-run Care Home that goes the extra mile to do its very best for all residents and their families.
Excellent staff in a beautiful and well looked after care home. My dad has been very well cared for and treated with dignity. You have all made a terrible time so much more bearable - thank you.
This care home is friendly and easy going. I feel that my dad is in a safe environment that I (and my whole family) can treat as home whilst we are visiting him. The food is incredible - dad is especially partial to the puddings! The staff are understanding and caring when dealing with us as well as my dad. I would highly recommend.
Thank you to all the staff at Chiltern Grange Care Home for their kindness, care and thoughtfulness in looking after my mother. At all times everyone gave her the attention she needed with so much patience. The environment in the care home was perfect for my mother's needs and she was always treated with the utmost dignity. I and my family are indebted to all the staff and the lifeline they extended to us in our time of need in placing my mother in such lovely surroundings.
I feel safe and secure. The food is very good. Staff are all polite.
I am reassured that mum is being well looked after.
Having viewed 7 care homes, Chiltern Grange Care Home was by far the most suitable for mum. We felt comfortable as soon as we walked in and she has settled far quicker than we expected. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We are really happy with our choice.
I like the way I am looked after and encouraged to join in activities. The food is very good and I am enjoying having someone to talk to. My room is comfortable and I like to sit in the lounge and sometimes play games.
Lots of kindness shown, but also lots of thoughtfulness and understanding of one's situation. Grateful thanks.
