Thank you so much for your lovely review. Our Wellbeing and Activities Programme is focused on making every day special for our residents. They love the variety and the physical and mental stimulation our programme provides.
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...
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.
Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring thoughts on your recent stay at Chawley Grove. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and very grateful for your heartfelt feedback for our compassionate and dedicated team. It was such a pleasure to have had the opportunity to care for you during your period of convalescence. Thank you for choosing Chawley Grove.

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 was peace of mind for me that my Father was safe and well looked after. Thank you to everyone at Chawley Grove.
Thank you very much for your kind review. It was a privilege to care for your dad here at Chawley Grove. We are delighted you have experienced our absolute commitment to providing outstanding personalised care for our residents, and a piece of mind for families, through our dedicated and compassionate team.
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...
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your review. We feel privileged that you have entrusted the care of your mum to us. We hugely appreciate your feedback, and we are delighted you have experienced our absolute commitment to providing outstanding personalised care and a luxury environment, through our dedicated and compassionate team.

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.

The activities they get up to from time to time are out of this world, and the care they give to residents is top-notch - always done with a touch of extra care.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We do all we can to ensure each day is special for our residents. We very much enjoy having your friend as part of our family and look forward to seeing you soon.

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.
Thank you so much for your kind words about Chawley Grove, it is our pleasure to have your friend here as part of our family and to welcome you on your visits. We look forward to making many more memories with you all.
Why did we choose Chawley? Having visited...
Why did we choose Chawley? Having visited four other care homes - what placed Chawley in a league of its own was 1 - it is purpose-built, 2 - it is clean, light and not at all like the archetypal care home and 3 - most importantly, the staff are kind, caring, encouraging and respectful.
Thanks for making my mother so welcome.
Thank you ever so much for your very kind review. It is our pleasure to have your mum here with us and we are so pleased that she feels part of the Chawley family. As always, if there is ever anything we can do for you or Mum, please do let us know.

After an appalling few days at another care home who had wrongly assessed my father’s needs, he went to Chawley Grove Care Home in August 2022. From day one he has been happy there and the staff are very caring. Their knowledge of and respect for residents living with dementia is brilliant. It is a lovely care home, very bright and no mean feat to keep it looking so good. Very kind atmosphere. I’m very grateful to the manager and her team for looking after dad.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, it is our pleasure to have Dad (and you) as part of our family.

The building and facilities are more five-star hotel than care home. Thank you sincerely for all your assistance and care.
Thank you for your lovely review. It was our pleasure to welcome your loved one for a respite stay here with our Chawley family. You are always welcome to come and see us for a cuppa at any time.

Chawley Grove Care Home exceeded all our expectations. My uncle, a spritely 85-year-old, required short-stay convalescence post-cancer surgery. All staff, without exception, provided exceptional care with genuine affection. They were able to meet his care needs and support him to maintain his independence, always with a smile. The food was excellent. Three cooked meals a day - just what he needed. His stay definitely improved his expectation of residential care and he was delighted to receive and invite to pop in and join them for lunch.
Thank you for your lovely review. It was our pleasure to have your uncle and all of you join our family whilst he recovered. We look forward to welcoming you back for lunch in the near future and hope to see you at our summer fete in July.
Exceptionally friendly staff welcoming us on our first visit. Nothing was too much bother for any one of them. First class care home,with happy residents in beautiful surroundings. All staff were sincere and knowledgeable regarding our resident there, thank you for your care.

I was here for respite care with nursing support. The carers were warm, sensitive to the patients and well-trained. They came quickly, usually when called. There was a positive, cheerful and cooperative attitude binding carers/nurses and management. In a way, there was a good team atmosphere. Difficult patients were handled kindly and professionally. These patients with problems of claustrophobia, but good mental and physical health, can be reminded by the carers that they are free to leave the building. The cooked breakfast here was superb!
Dear John, thank you for your lovely review. It was our absolute pleasure to help you convalesce and to have you as part of our family.
