My mother was in The Chestnuts in January/February 2024 for respite care. She decided to return to her home with carers attending to her needs 3 times a day. In December 2024 it became clear that Mum could no longer look after herself and after several conversations Mum decided to go into The Chestnuts
permanently. There are no alternatives for Mum, it HAD to be The Chestnuts!!

Couldn't have wished for a nicer care home for my mum. Sadly she passed away after only three months of being there, but during this time was treated with so much love and care. The staff are lovely and are like one big family, would highly recommend this home.

Reply from Arnas Mauremootoo, Proprietor/Manager at The Chestnuts Residential Care Home

Dear June,
Thank you for your kind review.
I am so pleased that we were able to meet your expectations and my only sadness is that Mum could not have been with us for longer. It has been a pleasure to meet you and your family and a privilege to have been able to care for Mum in her final weeks.
I remain at your service always.
Kind regards.

My father moved to The Chestnuts due to being in the final stages of his Parkinson's and needing quite high care needs. Unfortunately, my dad was only there for seven weeks when he passed away, but he received exceptional care from all the staff. The support that all my family received from the owner
and the management team was incredible, and nothing was too much trouble. We were apprehensive about Dad going into care, but I would honestly say to anyone that is thinking about The Chestnuts not to feel this way. My dad was given the best care in his final days, which has given us peace in this difficult time.
Thank you to everyone at The Chestnuts.

Reply from Arnas Mauremootoo, Proprietor/Manager at The Chestnuts Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind review - it means so much to the team and I to know that we were able to support Dad and you at this time. We wish you and the whole family our sincerest regards and the very best for the future.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The owner and his staff at the Chestnuts, together, gave the best and most suitable care to my mother, who was at a time in her life when companionship and friendliness meant more than can be explained. I didn’t think she would like it and for the years she was a resident, it was a constant surprise
to me that there wasn’t a falling out or major upheaval. All testament to proper care correctly given which made for a happy home with staff and residents alike. After a very brief stay in Hospital, my mother was allowed to return to the Chestnuts to spend the last period of her life in a familiar, homely, pleasant place. Thanks to the owner and all the staff. I did ask if I could book in, in case there was a waiting list but the owner said not just yet!

Thank you for your kind review, I am very pleased that we were able to meet your expectations and I will be sure to pass your sentiments on to all the staff. I wish you and your family all the very best for the future. Arnie, Home Manager.

Review from Dan (Respite Resident) published on 7 August 2018
Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I had occasion to need residency in a Care Home to get ready for a serious spinal operation, and because of local recommendations, I chose "The Chestnuts, Wisbech" as my home for three months, initially to get ready for the op., and subsequently to recover after the op.


I had absolutely no cause

to regret this, as I record unfailing good care by all the largely female staff, who following the op. looked after my physical, mental, and drug needs beautifully, I was also able to observe the care given to the many older residents, those with a measure of Dementia, or simply the very old, who were treated sympathetically however much attention they required.


The Owner/Manager is a hands-on manager who is personally active both in training his staff and in caring for his residents. He and his senior assistants successfully reduced my Morphine intake to zero over a few weeks after the op. (I had previously needed 120mg/day for pain control).

Thank you very much for your kind review which I will be sure to pass on to the staff team. We wish you all the very best for the future and assure you of our prompt attention should you ever need us in the future. Be sure to pop in for a cuppa and a chat whenever you are in the area. Regards.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.596)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.596) out of 10 for The Chestnuts Residential Care Home 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.708 for The Chestnuts Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.708

  • 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 3.888 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Chestnuts Residential Care Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.513

  • 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.
