I cannot thank and praise the whole team at Cholwell House enough. From the moment my lovely dad arrived at Cholwell, they have demonstrated the highest standard of care, compassion and respect for dad. They have also been an unwavering support to myself. A 'thank you' seems almost inadequate given what these wonderful people have done & continue to do for dad. I know that I can visit any time, night or day, and there is always someone there to greet with a friendly face & fully update me when asked. I acknowledge that the teams give up their own Christmas, so that families get theirs. They take so much of the worry away too. I can sleep again at night, for the first time in years knowing dad is safe and well cared for. Thank you Cholwell xx

I cannot recommend this home highly enough here are some reasons why... My partner is a resident, and spends most of her time in the communal areas. I go there EVERY DAY, typically for between 2 and 4 hours, though occasionally longer or shorter. The time I go varies. Given the HUNDREDS of hours I have spent there I think I can give a reliable assessement. The staff genuinely care for and love their residents. It's not just patient professionalism, it is a level above that. The staff just do not stop, motivation seems high, and the drive to serve needs and desires is relentless. The staff create a sense of real home/family care in a situation where such a thing seems by its nature to be impossible. It is a family owned business and has that feel about it, pride in work, focus on the long term not a quick return. I would recommend this place to anyone. Mark 2024/2025

My mum has been in Cholwell House for over 2 years now and I have always found the staff to be attentive to her needs and very friendly and welcoming to me whenever I visit. They take time to sit with her and partake in activities as best she can. It has a lovely homely feel and I am confident we made the best choice of home for her care needs.

Cholwell staff care for my mother. It is a very difficult time for her and the staff try and make her daily experience as caring and enjoyable as possible. They are all very kind and supportive. It is very much appreciated and we couldn't be more grateful to them.

Unfortunately both my parents have needed specialist care and Cholwell House was chosen. It is a fabulous caring home with wonderful staff that make it very friendly and comfortable for the residence. They both received love, warmth and compassion from knowledgable and experienced staff the whole time. It is a great relief to know that your parents are being looked after so kindly and affectionately. I would not hesitate in recommending Cholwell Nursing home to anyone needing love and care.

Cholwell House is a wonderful nursing home. My experience with my husband being there for a while has been a positive one with caring and compassionate staff always willing to go the extra mile to make the residents feel safe and well cared for. I always felt my husband was happy there. I can really recommend Cholwell House to anyone searching for a great nursing home for their loved one.

Cholwell has a really warm feeling about it. All the staff are very friendly and knowledgable. They clearly know their residents and care deeply for them. Having looked after our mother, during the earlier stages of dementia, both my sister and I are so relieved that our relative is warm, well fed and now in the care of such a lovely place as Cholwell.

Dad lived at Cholwell House Nursing Home for four years and passed away in May 2023, aged 96. We were worried that, as his faculties declined, he would struggle and we would find it difficult to engage with him. We needn’t have worried. It is fantastic and looks after residents as individuals. All the staff ensure that they feel safe and comfortable. Dad was dressed, washed, shaved etc every day and looked neat whenever we visited. The food was excellent – he did enjoy the cooked breakfast and the “show and tell” to ask what he would like for lunch. The activities such as singing, bringing in external guests or even animals (we won’t forget the lambs!) were great. The manager manages the home extremely well and her recruitment policy is excellent, as all the staff show the dedication and commitment that one would hope to see for one’s relative. We cannot praise Cholwell enough. Dad continued to smile until the end and we would have no hesitation in suggesting Cholwell as a nursing home for anyone’s relatives.

Mum was a resident from January until May of this year. The love, care, attention and support that she received during her time at Cholwell House were amazing and humbling to witness. Every single nurse was so friendly and supportive to Mum and helped to make her final months as comfortable as possible. Our family are so grateful for the love and support provided to us, as well as Mum over a really difficult period - a huge thank you to all of the amazing Cholwell team.
12 June 2023
The loving care given to my husband in his last few weeks was second to none and I could not have chosen a better place for him to be. The care extended to myself and the family. Many thanks for making the end-of-life experience more bearable.

My mother was admitted to Cholwell House Nursing Home in January 2022. Sadly she died in June 2022. From beginning to end, we were so happy with everything to do with the home. The staff were absolutely fabulous - warm, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and had time for my mum and for me and my family. From day one, they treated my mum like a good friend and made it her home. We knew that Mum was in excellent hands and that provided an enormous sense of relief at a time of immense stress, upset and ultimately sadness. They cared for Mum so well, right until her last day - they were respectful, caring and so supportive. We thank everyone at Cholwell so much - a fabulous team.

It is always difficult to accept that a parent, who has always been so independent and capable, needs to go into care. But the support and care given to our father over the last year or so at Cholwell House Nursing Home, led so professionally by the managers, was remarkable. Whilst the pandemic placed severe restrictions on visiting, it was a great comfort to know that Dad was in such capable hands. And Cholwell provided a dedicated 'residents line' for family, so we were able at least to chat regularly, even during full lockdown. Thank you for the kind support, patience and care you gave Dad throughout these difficult times.

My mother is a recent resident of Cholwell House Nursing Home. I was worried about her going into care but I can honestly say for both my mother and I it has been a lovely experience. My mother has settled well with lovely, caring nurses and care workers who genuinely are sensitive and interested in knowing my mother and her needs. The home has a relaxed, caring and happy atmosphere.

I was very upset when I wasn’t managing my husband’s care at home and had to admit him into a nursing home. It was a real comfort and peace of mind for me to know and see that Cholwell House has provided him excellent care and I was kept informed of any changes. The matron and her staff took the time to get to know him and are always friendly and approachable. With the pandemic restrictions, the staff work very hard to allow the family to visit without breaking the rules. I am very grateful to all the staff for the care and attention they have provided for my husband. I would have no hesitation to recommend Cholwell House to any family. Thank you.

Cholwell House is a wonderful home from home for my mum who has been a resident since January of this year. The staff are kind and caring and you feel one of the family immediately. The house has a calm atmosphere and great attention is paid to all residence. My mum has really blossomed since January and is so much happier having suffered the loss of her soulmate last year and the increasing challenge of living alone, even with carers she has really gone from strength to strength. I know it is due to the care and support she receives. It's also a very happy place and my mum has great fun with the staff. The manager is incredible, she is very supportive of me, including me in all decisions regarding my mum's care but also to the wider family which is so important when they live far away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cholwell House to any family in the same situation as myself.

I just wanted to thank the Manager and all the staff at Cholwell for their exceptional care of my father. Despite the difficulties that the pandemic has given the staff they have been amazing. My family and I cannot thank you enough for everything you did for him. The care he received was exceptional.

My mum was with you for nearly two years. Your staff were always kind and attentive to my mum and when I couldn't visit her I knew that she was very well looked after. I shall miss her always but I shall also miss seeing and speaking to all the girls that looked after her. I would recommend your care home and all the staff to anyone thinking of trusting them with a dear relative that needs care and company.

My mum could not have received better care given with compassion and professionalism 24 hours a day than she did in her 18 month stay with you. I cannot thank you enough for your attitude, communication skills and sheer dedication. There is nowhere else I would have liked her to end her days and it made her passing a good deal easier for my sister and me knowing she was in such good, caring, safe hands. My everlasting thanks.
09 October 2020
It was with deep regret that we had to put my mum into a home, after trying to care for her in her own home for as long as we could. On reflection choosing Cholwell House was the best decision that we could have made. The tenderness, compassion and love that was shown to both my mum and us as her family was exactly what was needed. I would sincerely recommend Cholwell House to anybody in similar circumstances.
