Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Rosie Smith, Customer Advisor at Chilton Meadows Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review for the staff at Chilton Meadows. We are thrilled that your mother has settled into Chilton Meadows so well and that you feel she is in a "family environment", this is always our aim. It is great to hear words such as "respect", "exemplary" and "love" when describing Chilton Meadows. We hope that your mother continues to enjoy her stay within the home and are sure the team will keep up their brilliant work!

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Chilton Meadows Care Home

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are very happy to hear that overall you can feel at ease with your loved one in our care. Our resident's health and well-being are an absolute priority, so we will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service.

Overall Experience

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.

The care home is excellently run in all areas. My husband is very happy there and the attention to his needs at all times is very good. The staff work very hard to accommodate all possible things to be done for all the residents. Everything that is done for the residents and my husband cannot be faulted.

My husband and I feel very lucky that he has the care that he receives from them.

Cannot complain, a lot of staff, most, are very helpful and friendly. Would like to say a big thank you to the activities. More of different choices are possible on menu? A lot of money, but I'm guessing down to the government.

Mum has been a resident since September 2023 and has settled remarkably well. This is due to the care and consideration of all the staff, both to her and us, her family. Being a small family unit it means so much to us all, and we now feel part of a much bigger, loving family. The patience and care

by all staff members is more than we could have wished for. Thank you.

My mother went into Munnings House, initially for respite care in February 2023. She is now a permanent resident. The staff have been absolutely amazing. Every person there, regardless of job role, go out of their way to help. They made her so welcome and show such kindness and warmth. I was supported

also in the transition of leaving my mum. Nothing is too much trouble. I know she is cared for and happy. I couldn't ask for a better home for her.

Overall Experience

My mother spent her last couple of months at Beech House Chilton Meadows.
From the moment we arrived everything felt right.
The staff were on hand, always alert, kind and respectful.
The accommodation is basic however, the whole building is maintained well, is kept clean and the services provided

for residents are good. Food is really up there. A menu every day which most people would be pleased to see in any restaurant. Having already been in a prior care home Chilton Meadows was a breath of fresh air. Thank you Chilton Meadows for looking after my mother, for showing her the kindness you did and for caring for her. I know she was not easy but you all appeared to manage her. A safe, kind and warm environment best describes Chilton Meadows.
Keep up the good work.

My dad has been a resident since December 2022 and has been there for eight months. As a relative, I feel confident in knowing my dad is safe and happy at the care home. Although there have been some changes in staff during this time, it has always been positive. The new unit manager has a “can do”

attitude and works hard to build motivation in the staff, as well as a positive and caring environment for residents. Staff will go that extra mile, and after conversations with them, I can leave knowing my dad is in good hands. What a great team!

My nan has just reached the amazing age of 100 years old. This is with the care she has been receiving from Chilton Meadows Care Home. She has been a resident for over five years and is very well looked after.
To celebrate her birthday they organised a buffet lunch and lots of decorations which was

so special. This was followed by a birthday party on the grounds outside with a singer and lots of fun and laughter.
Thank you to each and every one of you that is caring for my nan, we are forever grateful.
