The Croft Care Home

Overall Experience

My Mum in law was admitted to The Croft in March 2024 due to her dementia getting progressively worse. She stayed at the home until 7 November 2024 when she passed away. During her stay we found her to be safe, happy and well looked after. She spent the last 8 months of her life happier than we have

seen her in a long time. To all the staff at The Croft we would like to say a very big thank you for treating my Mum in law so well.

Reply from Davina Sellick, Director of Marketing & Communications at The Croft Care Home

Thank you so much for such lovely feedback for The Croft. I will be sure to pass this onto Yvette and her care team.

We visited this time after not having seen my Brother for a couple of months.
Every member of staff was helpful and polite.
A cup of coffee was provided for us within 15 minutes.
My Brother was contented and happy in the environment.

Overall Experience

The experience we have as a family visiting our brother is made to feel so welcoming, and is so pleasing that the care he receives is kind, and communication with us is very helpful as the stages of his dementia progresses.
The home is clean and the staff are very attentive, we couldn't ask for anything

more and we are very content with the care he gets.
Thank you to all the team.

Overall Experience

I recently visited my mum at The Chestnuts in Aylesbury and couldn't be more impressed by the professionalism of the staff and management and the care and attention with which my mum is being looked after. It was instantly evident that time had been taken to get to know Mum, learn more about her habits

and the intricacies of her personality to enable the staff to cater for her needs. Also great to have a ground-level room with an en-suite which was clean and functional. Thank you to all the staff and management for truly caring.

Overall Experience

Having had to move Mum from a place she had been in for 4 years, we thought it would be very traumatic, but with the lovely help and kindness from all the staff at Hazlemere Lodge. The move went well and now Mum is settled in and very happy. The staff are great and cannot do enough to assist whenever

necessary. Would not hesitate in recommending Hazlemere Lodge.

Reply from Rob Hunt, Head of Older People Services at Hazlemere Lodge Care Home

Overall Experience

Mum passed away in February after being in Hazelmere Lodge Care Home for just under a year. She was kept comfortable, clean, and free from pain. She was treated with care, compassion, and dignity. The room was kept clean. Couldn’t have wished for better care. If I asked anything about Mum's health I

was always answered and was never made to feel a nuisance. Well done to everyone who looked after Mum. I would certainly recommend this care home!

Overall Experience

My husband received excellent care for the time he was a resident at The Croft Care Home, Amersham. Staff were very caring, cheerful and smiling and he was very grateful for the exceedingly good care he received. In my experience, every member of staff, from the office staff to the carers, knew exactly

what was going on regarding my husband's health needs. Communication is obviously key between staff. A well-run care home who do their very best to provide the best care possible. Thank you everyone.

Reply from Rob Hunt, Head of Older People Services at The Croft Care Home

Overall Experience

As hard as it is having my sole remaining parent in a home, there is an immense feeling that she could not be in better hands. All the staff work tirelessly to make the residents stay warm and cosy.
Safety and security is also taken very seriously at the home, giving me the reassurance that my mother

is as good as she can be.

Reply from Rob Hunt, Head of Older People Services at The Chestnuts Care Home

Thank you for your kind words for the support that staff provide to your mother. I am pleased to hear that you feel reassured about the care your mother is receiving from the Ambient team at The Chestnuts. Many thanks.

Staff great but find they do only what is necessary, i.e. a little conversation with patients would be good. They state entertainment, to my knowledge none. The garden needs a little attention, in fact, a lot of attention. The entrance is very untidy and cold.

Reply from Rob Hunt, Head of Older People Services at Hazlemere Lodge Care Home

We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed in some of the provisions at Hazlemere Lodge. Please contact the home manager, Lucy Raine, to arrange a convenient time to discuss your concerns and help us address some of the issues you have highlighted. The safety and well-being of the people we support are always our top priority.

Thanks to all at The Chestnuts Care Home, amazing care of Mum, couldn’t have done more for her. She was very happy with you all and felt so nice to know she was cared for so well. Am in awe of the job you all do with professionalism and empathy whilst caring for the elderly, and Mum also, who was not

always easy. Again, thank you.

Overall Experience

My dad had a nice comfortable room, I was encouraged to bring in photos and items that would make it more homely for him. The staff were always lovely and kept me informed at all times. They also wanted to know about Dad's background so they were able to interact with him. There were always lots of

activities on offer.
I also found them to be very supportive of me and helped me through his dementia, which I am extremely grateful for. The atmosphere always seemed relaxed, calming and, most importantly, welcoming.

Reply from Rianna Barnett, Marketing Assistant at The Chestnuts Care Home

Thank you very much for your warm review of The Chestnuts, we're so glad that you and your dad felt welcome and that you were able to find a support network in our staff. I'll be sure to pass on your kind words to the care team, who will be delighted.

So impressed with the care, kindness, empathy and patience shown by all the staff involved in the care of my mum. Moving in and settling was a very traumatic time both for Mum and the family. But Hazlemere Lodge Care Home surpassed anything we could have wished for in their care of us all. Mum is now

settled and happy in her new life. Thank you!
