Recently wanted to do a family meal for Xmas. Spoke to the care home who supplied us with a menu and a very reasonable price. Went on the day and was given a whole section of the home. Staff had set up a wonderful table and decorations. Then the food came up served by the onsite chef, wow wow wow. Lovely
food, we were all well fed and more leftover. Was a wonderful day.
Really can’t sing the praises of this home, they really do care for everyone who steps foot into the premises.

As my husband has such a very short term memory, he was very confused regarding times of the day or night and where he was. He enjoyed the day out to Cumnor Village Hall very much and talks about it in detail but does not remember anything else he did all week!
He's just told me he remembers playing
scrabble and a bit of drawing!

Chawley Grove Care Home is amazing, and the care my mother receives when she stays there is second to none. It means so much to me to know she is safe and that I do not have to worry.
All the staff are so welcoming, and nothing is too much trouble, right down to the "welcome back" card, signed by
everyone, that my mother receives each time she stays.
The facilities are excellent and the surroundings equally inviting. I recommend Chawley Grove Care Home ofter and just recently to three colleagues.

We have found Chawley Grove to be a lovely place to put my mother-in-law in for respite care. The building, gardens, etc. are first class and the management and staff very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

Review from Jeremy (Son of Resident) published on 6 December 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had battled finding carers for our mum since she'd had a fall and come out of hospital. Things weren't working out; a care home was not our first option - ideally, we would have kept her in her flat with support from carers and family. As it happened circumstances forced our hand and moving her into
Chawley Grove is the best thing we could have done.
The staff are all lovely, friendly and supportive. Chawley Grove itself is modern but homely and I highly recommend checking out the views from the balconies on the first and second floors.
Our mum looks ten times better than she did when she was in her own place; nice hairdos and manicures. She is relaxed and safe and we are comfortable knowing she is receiving the care she needs and deserves.

I would like to thank everyone at Chawley Grove for looking after my husband, making him feel welcome. He feels he is on holiday with beautiful well-served food, all staff happy and chatty. My husband stopped talking about Christmas-time 2018 and the day he came to Chawley Grove he spoke to everyone
with a smile. It was as if he had come alive again after being so low for so long. Once again a very big thank you.

The care my father received was excellent. The staff made him feel at home and very safe. He could always ask for help at any time, it was given professionally and kindly. The setting for Chawley Grove is relaxing and quiet if needed. The food was also good and he was able to eat and drink whenever
it suited him. The staff quickly got to know his preferred routine and his care was very much tailored for his needs. Staff were quickly responsive to any concerns, he felt very valued and part of a family.

I have only the highest of praise for Chawley Grove Care Home. My mother spent 2 weeks respite at Chawley Grove where she received first class care. The staff are friendly, welcoming and highly professional. The rooms and facilities are excellent. It has a beautiful relaxing garden and a number of lounges,
coffee areas, dining room and even a mini cinema to relax in. In short it has every facility to ensure the residents and visitors alike, feel at home.

My mother is a resident at Chawley Grove for a period of respite care. I visited many care homes in the Oxford / Abingdon area before choosing Chawley Grove. When I first visited I was struck by the beautiful setting, furnishings and facilities. However, it is the professionalism and warmth of the homemakers
and all the staff at Chawley Grove that has made my mother’s stay so happy. The attitude of staff is exemplary. I thoroughly recommend Chawley Grove to you.

Overall I'm very happy here and feel at home. I like the price and how everything is included in the price with no hidden extras. I liked the Homemaker role and that's what prompted me to come and stay. The food is very nice and flexible. The decor is modern and the furniture is nice. The staff are
very nice and helpful. I feel I'm treated with dignity and respect and my view is listened to. I would recommend this home.

My husband has spent a week's respite at Chawley Grove and I cannot speak highly enough of it. The staff are all extremely friendly and competent and the concept of 'homemakers' is a revelation! The rooms, building and general surroundings are so clean and welcoming and the garden is wonderfully accessible.
I have some experience of other homes and can honestly say there is no comparison. Hopefully, he will become a permanent resident very soon.

I visited four times while my client was on respite. Each visit lasted four hours. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, had lunch which was super. We visited the beauty salon where she had her hair done. She did painting classes which she loved, very impressed with everything. Well done.

During the past month visiting on a regular basis, the staff are friendly, caring and have the welfare of the residents as priority. The bedrooms and communal areas are very attractive and homely and are kept clean. The food provided by the chef is first class and caters for all tastes. All in all,
I have found Chawley Grove to be outstanding in all aspects and would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Chawley Grove a few weeks ago and I am extremely happy with his care. I thought choosing a school for the children was hard, but finding the right care home for my father was even harder. We visited Chawley Grove and immediately felt this would be the right place for him. His room
is modern and comfortable, with attention to detail. We have been able to take in some of his own furniture for his new home. He receives excellent care and attention, day and night. It is a weight off my mind, knowing that he is safe 24/7. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food is always well presented and of good quality, with plenty of choice. In the short time that he has been there, he has gained 5kg in weight. Previously he didn’t have much of an appetite and I’m sure it helps that the homemakers sit down and eat with the residents, and this is encouraging him to eat. I have no hesitation in recommending Chawley Grove and have already done so.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.872)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.872) out of 10 for Chawley Grove Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.872 for Chawley Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.872
  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 Chawley Grove Care Home is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 21 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.
