Carers, nurses & staff are friendly & very helpful when they have the time as they are always busy looking after someone. I have tried to move my mum into a room with a bigger window but always got snubbed by the manager, apart from that all is good.

Mum has been here for nearly two years now and I have nothing but praise for the care she has been given. The carers are very understanding of her dementia and physical needs and nothing is too much trouble for them. The entertainment team are also amazing. Mum particularly loves the musical
entertainment and playing Bingo but has also taken part in baking, painting and flower arranging. Everyone is also very friendly and welcoming to all family visitors so we all feel like one big family. The variety of food is also very good, especially with her dietary needs.

Quite good living here. I really enjoy the activities with the 3 ladies. I lost my husband who was also here and staff were very good.

We are very happy that my sister has settled so well. They have helped keep her independence. She loves crafts and the entertainment and the staff on Gainsbourgh are lovely & caring. The activity ladies are amazing.

My wife was in Chilton Meadows for ten months till she passed away. Since then I have gone there three times a week as a volunteer. I found all the staff helpful, kind and very caring for all the residents. I think they do a wonderful job - all of them.

Mother has always been treated with respect and warmth.

Living over seas and knowing your Mother is safe and cared for there are no words to explain the true depth of gratitude my sister and I have to Chilton Meadows. From the day my mother was transferred from hospital after a very lengthy stay she was made to feel safe and seen. I will never forget
walking into her room the second day she had arrived and finding her so frail, but within a week the nurses had her eating, smiling and her confidence was slowly starting to come back. Even though she never left her room ALL the staff where so caring and would pop in for a chat with Mum and her last years she was not lonely and felt so safe which is so important. The dignity and grace they gave my Mother her last days was wonderful. Thank you to you all.

My mum was a resident at Chilton Meadows for 2 years until her passing last August, during which time I visited her almost every day. At all times both Mum and we as a family were treated with the utmost respect and love. During her final days we were wrapped up in love and care, thereby making what
was a devastating time more bearable to cope with. Many of the staff have become special friends. Since her passing I have become a volunteer and my visits feel like being welcomed back into a close family. My dad was a resident some 15 years ago and the care was excellent then too, in fact some original staff remain the same from then to today, which says it all! I jave no hesitation in recommending the home to others.

It was lovely visiting Mum as everyone was very helpful and put us at ease. Mum was washed and had fresh clothes on every day. They made her smile, which was lovely to see. On our last day, they treated Mum with care and dignity. Thank you to all concerned.

My elderly mother needed nursing care after discharge from another hospital stay and we chose Chilton Meadows as it had an available bed and was quite local. We are so glad that we did, as the care and attention shown to her, and us as a family, over her last weeks was amazing. We could not have
asked for more.
All the staff went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable, clean, and as happy as she could be and when we came to visit her made us feel very welcome. When she passed away, they were very supportive of us all and allowed us time and space both to be with her and also to sit and grieve. We cannot thank the manager and her team enough for helping her last days to be the best that they could be.

Our experience with Chiltern Meadows was only for a few weeks, but was at a time leading up to our mother's death.
Our experience was only positive.
Mum was moved to Chilton Meadows from hospital as she needed constant care and help, beyond what we were able to give her as family. From day
one we knew she was in good and caring hands.
All the staff were really attentive and took a genuine interest, to ensure she was as comfortable and cared for as she could be. She was checked regularly, and with respect.
What also struck us, was the way the staff made us, as family, feel cared for. Always a friendly greeting or " can I help you", which made our experience so much easier.
Thank you to everyone at Chiltern Meadows for all your care, concern and guidance.
We would not hesitate to recommend.

My dad was residing at Chilton Meadows, Constable Suite, since December 2023 until his death in March 2025. I am a consultant geriatrician and I have visited many care homes. Never have I seen such a caring, wonderful and homely environment. All the staff were absolutely wonderful with dad, and he
was so beautifully cared for. A huge thanks to everyone, what an amazing team! A special thank you to the manager and her team.

My father in law spent just over the last years of his life at Chilton Meadows Care Home, Constable House. From looking round to his last day the home and staff could not have been better. They recognised what a tough time it was, and made his moving in so smooth. They cared for him superbly,
getting to know him and his needs. All the staff were caring and we could not have wished for better. Particular thanks to the carer who went above and beyond. When he entered the last days of his life after another big stroke they palliated him superbly, respecting his wishes, keeping him comfortable, and caring for the family. Thank you all so much.

Very good, excellent care given in all departments. My husband could not have had better care. He was very settled and happy in your care and I'm sure we made the right decision choosing your home. All in we as a family of my husband could not have had better treatment of my husband and us as
relatives.

My mother moved to Chilton Meadows in February this year. She has cancer in several parts of her body and is unable to continue living independently. From the very first moment she arrived, her care has been exemplary. The team at Constable House asked for some information about Mum's life so they
could have meaningful conversations with her. She has been and continues to be treated with the utmost respect and love. I am so happy we found Chilton Meadows where Mum is happy, comfortable, and above all, cared for in a family environment.

On behalf of my Father, I am delighted to give a 5-star review and if there were more stars to give then my review would be higher. All facilities are good and especially all of the staff who are absolutely wonderful people and apply a first class caring service to the residents.

My Grandmother has Alzheimer's and moved into the home a month ago. We couldn't be happier, she is happy, clean, and content. All the staff are wonderful, so friendly. Nana is enjoying all of the food and activities. We would highly recommend Chilton Meadows.
25 April 2024
The carers in Gainsborough House are exceptional and go above and beyond to look after the residents. On the downside, the quality of the food, both ingredients and cooking leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, I would recommend Chilton Meadows.
31 January 2024
Since Dad arrived at the home, the staff have been friendly and supportive. If Dad has a fall or medication change, then the nurse in charge has contacted me. My dad nearly always needs a shave when I visit which I presume is due to not having enough staff. One thing that most frustrated my family,
is that Dad's slippers always went missing, ever though they were named. We've bought five pairs of slippers. Most of the time there are none in his room for him to wear. The singing entertainment has been very good. Sometimes staff can be on the phoes too much.
