Chantry Court Retirement Village

What Chantry offers is the opportunity to live completely independently whilst you are still fit enough but as and when care and support are needed, it is available on-site, at a fraction of the cost and upheaval of having to relocate to a care home.

We moved my parents down to Chantry Court Retirement Village in 2015 when my father required daily support and we could be close to hand. The care given to him by all at Chantry Court was excellent and enabled my mother to continue nursing him in their own home. Subsequently, my mother found it more difficult to live an entirely independent life and she drew increasingly on the excellent support available onsite at Chantry Court while continuing to live in her own home and enjoy the wide range of facilities. Last year the support of the in-house nursing and care staff was superb. Because they had known her for some years by now she was settled and reassured by their presence and they were excellent at feeding back information to my wife and I on her health and demeanour (thereby providing us with peace of mind). Chantry Court is a very well run, maintained and pleasant residence which offers independent living with the reassurance of in-house care/support and safety.

Fantastic staff and my mother is very well looked after, she is happy and content.

If I could give Chantry Court Retirement Village more than five-stars I would! For the last, happy ten years of my mother's life, she lived at Chantry Court in a bought two-bedroom apartment. She so enjoyed sitting in her sunny lounge watching the world go by and surrounded by her own furniture and belongings. The staff were so welcoming when she didn't know anyone at first and she soon became friends with the residents, joining them at first for a Sunday roast in their lovely restaurant and latterly having all her meals there, finally having food brought to her with ever-chirpy, friendly staff members. Her house cleaning and laundry were taken care of for her. She would enjoy a visit to the in-house hairdressers each week and rarely missed the weekly films held at the cinema. Chantry Court offers more than this, organising trips out, entertainment brought in and the ever-popular Friday tea and cakes! All in all a wonderful place.

My mother-in-law died in her own home with the great kindness of staff to both my mother-in-law and our family.

I have been a resident of Chantry Court Retirement Village for over two years and am very happy and settled here in my own apartment, surrounded by my own furniture. Would like to say the managers and staff are appreciated very much. I feel safe and cared for to meet my needs. I enjoy the organised activities, the opportunities of a cinema, coffee mornings, church communion from the local community. Visitors are welcome also. There is a visitors suite available for overnight accommodation.

Generally incompetent.

A year on she has purchased her beautiful garden flat at Chantry Court and has the care staff, of whom she has nothing but good things to say, looking after her.

A flexible friendly approach has been much appreciated and the standard of accommodation is excellent.

We find it a friendly happy place to be. The staff are very friendly and caring. My husband has care 2-3 times a day and are very satisfied with care he receives.

My mother lived at Chantry Court from January 2010 until her death in December 2018. She was very happy there, living in a well-equipped and modern two-bedroom apartment. It was reassuring for us to know that she was safe and that there was always someone on duty 24 hours. The staff were excellent and on the occasions when she was unwell they would go beyond the call of duty to care for her. During the last weeks of her life, we would not have been able to cope without their support. It was a great comfort to us that she was able to die in her own home and not in hospital. I can highly recommend Chantry Court whether you are living independently, need domiciliary care or other additional support. If you do not want to self cater, the restaurant provides very good meals at a very reasonable cost. Also, its location in Westbury allows residents to use all the facilities of a town without the need for a car which is a great advantage.

I am 80 years of age and have been here for over four years. The staff here should be filmed, as an example for failing and new facilities for old (and very old!) people like me. I am diabetic (insulin dependent), 10 pills a day. I am a pedantic old man and have been consulted by a solicitor to help him advise a potential Chantry Court resident and she moved in. It is a privilege to live here.
