Thank you for your feedback. We're really pleased that we were able to support your dad so quickly and that you've found the team attentive and kind. We will make sure the points you have raised are shared with the team so they can be looked into and discussed with you. Do reach out if we can be of further assistance.
Chilterns Court is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The staff are kind and friendly and the nursing staff are competent. An in-house physiotherapy service would have been good, especially as it is so expensive there.

My father moved to Chilterns Court following a fall (femur head fracture) and hospital stay in February, initially for respite care. The whole team have been brilliant with him, from making sure he has help and support in all daily tasks (due to limited mobility), encouraging him (and wheeling him out) to take part in activities and have his meals in the dining area. Whilst I try to visit several times a week, their communication is also excellent, they ring whenever they need to discuss his health or care. Having him so well looked after by a kind, caring and empathetic team is a huge weight off my mind - knowing he's safe and in safe hands.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're really glad to hear how well your father has been supported since coming to Chilterns Court, especially after such a difficult time.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're really glad to hear how well your father has been supported since coming to Chilterns Court, especially after such a difficult time. It's lovely to know he's been encouraged to join in with activities and meals, helping him feel safe and settled. We're also pleased that our communication has given you reassurance when you can't be here. Knowing families feel a weight lifted because their loved one is in kind, caring hands means a great deal to the team. Thank you again for your trust and kind words.

My wife Erica was admitted with advanced Alzheimer's. We had reveiwed 5 other care homes and Chilterns Court came out top. There was an immediate atmosphere of caring and compassion. She has been looked after with care and settled in very quickly. We had concerns that she would want to come home but this never surfaced. The staff, without fail, have performed their duties well. Our concerns that she was spending too much time in a wheelchair were addressed and a programme of repositioning started to avoid bed sores.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're really glad to hear that Chilterns Court felt right from the start and that your wife settled in so quickly - that means a lot, especially knowing how many homes you had looked at beforehand. It's lovely to hear how supported she's been by the...

It's a testament that in general there is low staff turnover an dthe food and personal care is very good. The only area that is more tricky at times is the activities provision, but they are addressing that. My mother is very happy there.

Staff are great, but some need to work with others, and some need more training. Most of the carers do not know what's in the food, and also menu goes walkabout.

Visited my close lifelong friend Tony at Chiltern Court today, and as always, I was delighted by how caring and attentive everyone is. Lunch was excellent - the beef stew smelled amazing and tasted delicious, accompanied by fruity Eastern couscous, followed by a lovely cheesecake . I was also invited for coffee with delicious chocolate cookies, which was a real treat. I enjoyed the visit immensely and was very happy to see such an excellent standard in every aspect. Keep the excellent job
Thank you for your lovely review of our home and all the delicious meals and sweet treats we serve here - it's greatly appreciated. Hope to see you again soon when you next visit your friend. If we can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

In general I found all the staff attentive, caring and are understanding of his needs and if a request is not possible the majority of the staff will try to explain why. It is frustrating for him when the activities are changed at the last minute which seems to happen quite a lot so it is hard to encourage him to go to the lounge & when events are not as advertised it is good that access to medical aid is excellent.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review, we apologise for causing any frustration, and we have passed your feedback onto the team so we can avoid any further frustration. The team are pleased that you find all the staff to be understanding, caring, and attentive to yours and your husband's needs.

The care my dad receives is very good and the care staff are excellent. Nothing seems to be too much trouble, and they are all very helpful. The hairdresser and the chiropodist that tend to my dad are excellent. Both are so kind. I do feel that when the chef is deciding on the menu, it should be suited at times to the elderly palate. Not all of them have their teeth or full set.
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear your dad is receiving very good care and that our team, hairdresser, and chiropodist have been so kind and helpful. We appreciate your comments about the menu and will share them with our catering team to ensure meals continue to suit the needs of our residents. Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting us with your dad's care.
