Overall Experience

We looked at plenty of care homes before finding chawley grove. The atmosphere of the building is warm and friendly but has a luxurious hotel feel. The staff are all smart but don't wear a uniform - which we love as it makes it feel very like a family. My wife and I were invited to lunch and it was

superb. The chef and his team made us feel very special. What we especially like is the assortment of activities on offer at the homes There is simply something for everyone and it's impressive that all the staff seem to be enjoying themselves. There is a lot of energy in the activist team and it seems to be infectious
Family members are invited to join in and there is great entertainment on offer. We had lots of questions prior to the move in and the response from the manager was quick. Informative and helpful. It really does seem like nothing is too much trouble. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a home for their loved one.

We've been at Chawley Grove for the last 7 months and my relative loves his time! The staff are very warm and kind and get involved with all aspects of the care- which is very different from the other care homes that we looked at. The bistro is warm and friendly and the chef prepares cakes everyday!

The enrichment planner is circulated every week and they have so many things on offer, it's great. Management take the time to get to know exactly what is important to us and that is wonderful. We would highly recommend

Mum's care at Chawley Grove has been wonderful. All the staff have been so friendly and caring towards her, and also supportive to me, as I have been unwell. Mum always looked immaculate, and her room was always clean and tidy. I have also been amazed at the variety of activities available every day

for the residents, so important. I really could not have chosen a better home the whole atmosphere there from reception/office to carers and other staff is one of warmth, kindness and care/concern. Thank you Chawley Grove for taking such good care of mum!!

Overall Experience

My mother resided at Chawley Grove Care Home from September 2023 until she sadly passed away on December 19th 2024.
I had always been happy with mum's care but it wasn't until she became ill in December 2024 that I realised what an outstanding home that Chawley is - The manager was amazing and very

sympathetic to assisting us in allowing mum to die in her home where she was loved and cared for rather than a hospital. In her final days, the love and care provided by the Chawley Team was such a support to me and my family that it made a very difficult time more bearable. During those final days when we stayed there night and day I was able to witness first hand just how well run the home is and how the residents are well cared for and indeed how they cared for me and my family. If you are looking for a true home where your loved one is treated with love and respect, for then look no further, you have found it in Chawley Grove.

Reply from Angelika Ziomek, Home Manager at Chawley Grove Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience with us during such a deeply emotional time. On behalf of the entire team at Chawley Grove Care Home, please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. We are truly humbled by your kind words and are grateful that we could provide comfort and support to your mother, you, and your family during her final days. Ensuring that she could remain in her home, surrounded by love and familiarity, is a privilege that we hold dear, and we are glad that it brought some comfort during such a challenging time. Your recognition of the care and dedication of our team means a great deal. It reaffirms our commitment to treating every resident and their family with the utmost compassion, dignity, and respect. We are honoured to have been part of your mother's journey and to have been able to support you as well.

Overall Experience

I spent a fortnight's respite at Chawley Grove to help my convalescence after surgery on a fractured wrist and it proved to be one of my better decisions in life. The care and attention I received from the whole team at the home was outstanding. I wanted for nothing, the food was excellent and the

warmth of the staff, both individually and collectively was palpable. The facilities, decor, and general ambience is first rate and the whole atmosphere promotes a feeling of being comfortably at home as soon as you walk in the door.
There is a varied and imaginative entertainment programme, broad-ranging enough to encompass the varying levels of abilities of the residents and provide little pockets of fun and laughter in what could so easily become a mundane routine. As a fairly well person, I was very impressed with the level of dedication, respect, and unpatronising compassion shown by the staff to people who are quite poor and need TLC, whilst preserving their dignity.

Unable to manage at home post-operatively I stayed at Chawley Grove for a month to regain my strength and to increase both my mobility and confidence. Being well looked after so professionally with access to medical and physiotherapy support enabled me to prepare for returning home.
Chawley Grove is

welcoming in every way, from the first enquiry to the knowledge that if it was necessary there would be a warm welcome further down the line for a return.
Thank you.

My Father only had a short stay at Chawley Grove (7 months) as he sadly recently passed away. It was a lovely place for him to reside and the staff provided very tailored care for him that met his needs. All staff were very friendly, professional and welcoming - nothing was ever too much trouble. It

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident at Chawley Grove since it opened back in August 2019. My mum and the home came through the COVID experience which was very traumatic and isolating for her and everyone, including the staff. It has taken much time to rebuild the home team and there have been many staff changes

over the past 4 years which has been disruptive and to say the least, given a wildly varying level of care from inadequate to good.
During recent months, Hamberley Care Homes have recruited a new manageress. Together with the clinical lead, she has started successfully to rebuild the home and team to give the quality of care and experience that was promised initially and we all wish for.
There are still some issues to resolve and the key to this is induction, training, and staff retention which the new manager is addressing and all the while doing fantastic work driving up the standards of care, quality and cleanliness. The manager and the team have made an excellent start.

My mother and brother stayed in Chawley Grove Care Home. Although it was good at the beginning as they both went in for respite, Mum's clothes went missing and my brother, towards the end, refused to eat.
I noticed during the late afternoon they were left to get on with things themselves, carers were

on their phones. I had a call a few days ago at 7:12 a.m. to say my mum had a fall! I said did she fall out of the bedroom. They said they didn’t know even though the week before they said they checked their rooms every hour during the night! Not good.
My mum's clothes are always soiled and my brother is left to get on with it, etc.

I cannot recommend Chawley Grove Care Home highly enough. My Dad at 97 is thriving under their loving care and I really feel I’ve got my dad back rather than this old man I didn’t know. The staff are so kind and patient and they look after the whole family, not just my dad. We had a really rocky start

with Dad not wanting to be in a care home but management and staff were so supportive he came through it and is now very happy. The facilities are excellent, the whole family can visit at the same time and it is just as if we are at home. The entertainment laid on is fabulous and really enjoyable. Thank you all so much I really appreciate all you do to keep Dad happy and well looked after. It takes away all the worry.

My friend lives in Crawley Grove Care Home and loves it. The care that she receives is excellent with nothing being too much trouble for the staff. The activities they put on are amazing from the monkey's visit to the coronation chicks. The hairdresser visits every week and there’s always plenty going

on and we can join in too when we’re visiting. The food is lovely which we can have for a fraction of the price of a restaurant and the coffee bar in the atrium is always welcoming. I would recommend this care home to anyone looking to find a place for their loved ones.
