  • Chesham Bois Manor, Chesham
Set within an idyllic eight acres of beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside, Chesham Bois Manor offers the serenity and exclusivity of a traditional manor house, surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens.

Chesham Bois Manor offers a choice of spacious lounge and dining areas, and a traditional manor library room which is ideal for families wanting to host a special party or event in a safe and supported environment. Bedrooms are all single occupancy with en suite bathroom facilities. All bedrooms can be personalised with individual home comforts, which is actively encouraged by the homes dedicated team.

The original manor house has been tastefully extended to create a purpose-built, specialist and secure community, enabling tailored and holistic care for all stages of dementia progression. This courtyard style environment boasts safe, enclosed gardens and an indoor 'walking path' which promotes mobility and independence in all weather.

The beautiful gardens and natural woodland area at Chesham Bois Manor offer tranquil surroundings, with easy access pathways and plenty of space for outdoor activities and events in the warmer months. The newly added 'Primrose Cottage' provides an additional space for residents to enjoy some peace and independence, without having to leave the security of the manor grounds. The cottage is fully equipped with a kettle, fridge, comfortable sofas, a television, DVD player and radio.

The home's specialist Engagement Lead coordinates a varied calendar of social activities, entertainment and meaningful occupation suited to individual interests and abilities. The home also has its own transport available for making individual or group outings to places of interest. A regularly updated private 'relatives and friends' social page helps keep families informed with news and photographs from loved ones at the manor. The home also offers a video call service and access to iPads.

My husband is well looked after and seems happy and settled.
Sometimes there is very little atmosphere. No music in public rooms so very quiet. Lady that dealt with activities has left and the new person seems to lack ability. Not good but overall, good home. Staff very caring, sometimes part of management
seem disinterested and unapproachable.

I came for peace and quiet and on the whole, this is what I have the one issue is that when the carers come round at night, they sometimes leave the door open.

My husband has a rare form of Alzheimers PCK (Posterior Cortical Atrophy) and was admitted to Chesham Bois Manor in mid-January.
He is settling well and is so much calmer and less anxious and says he enjoys the food.
The staff are amazing, so caring and answer all my questions.
I love visiting him
as we can now spend quality time together as I am not his carer anymore 24/7.

My mother has been at Chesham Bois Manor for six weeks and has been made to feel welcome the minute she entered the door. All the staff, from management, nurses, carers, admin, caterers bend over backwards to make my mother comfortable and well cared for.

Mum has been in Chesham Bois Manor for just over a month. She settled in quickly and was made very welcome. She has a lovely room with space for a few things of her own and a view over the well-maintained grounds. The level of care from all staff has been excellent and we are always made very welcome
when we visit.

We have been delighted by the professionalism, friendliness and compassion shown to my father on his recent respite stay at Chesham Bois Manor. Even though my dad's stay was for 2 weeks, all staff made genuine and insightful plans to integrate him into the community.
We have been delighted by the dedication
of the management, reception and care team and would totally recommend Chesham Bois Manor.

I always find a warm welcome here and my friend is well looked after and appreciated the care she has. She has had to endure several operations in the last few years. I find the staff are patient and loving, sometimes in difficult circumstances. I also feel efforts are made to stimulate and entertain
the residents which my friend loves.

Mum has been a resident here for 2 and a half years. Without exception, she likes all the staff. There is a low turnover of staff, which has meant that mum has had the consistency of care which we were seeking. Whilst mum doesn't join in many of the activities there are plenty organised. The visiting
farm was a real highlight for her. The food is tasty, portion sizes appropriate and meals are suited to the residents. The bi-annual meeting of residents/families and the home provides an opportunity for favourite menus to be chosen.
During the last year of building works, the residents have been kept clean, safe and entertained. A huge thank you. I can not recommend Chesham Bois manor and staff highly enough.

One the whole we are really pleased how Mom has settled into the manor! We were expecting her to ask the question about when she was coming home, which we have been spared, thankfully.


When Mom calls out, she does usually need assistance but, we do feel sometimes, she doesn't receive the appropriate

response. This results in her becoming more agitated.


Over the past few months, we have been grateful for the care and love shown towards Mom.

My husband has been well looked after. He does sometimes appear untidy in his clothing but if I mention this to the staff they soon get it sorted. He is as happy as he can be and the staff are all very approachable and very caring. Well done to all.

The care here at Chesham Bois Manor has been wonderful. My husband has helped with kindness and confidence which has benefitted him greatly! The staff are friendly and compassionate both to the resident and their families.
The atmosphere is calm and welcoming.
I cannot finish without commenting on
how clean everywhere is. The laundry is done and returned to each resident in excellent condition.
I would recommend this care home to anyone!
Thank you Chesham Bois.

Mother is very content and is looked after very well. I visit her every week and am happy with a number of activities that take place regularly. The food is of a good standard and made on the premises, she spends a lot of time with other residents in their lounges which is encouraged by the staff which
I am very pleased about.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.576)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.576) out of 10 for Chesham Bois Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.738 for Chesham Bois Manor is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.738

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.838 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chesham Bois Manor is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.938

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
