My dad has been at Chataway for a year now, most of this time has been in lockdown, we feel he has always been very well looked after and we are all kept informed and nothing is too much trouble for the manager and carers always going that extra mile. My mum and sister had a very special half-hour visit
on Christmas Eve as they had a coronavirus test beforehand so could all have a very much needed hug. Always lovely pictures on Facebook for us to see, which means so much, as we can’t visit at the moment. But as things change, we know the manager will ensure we get to visit as soon as we possibly can. Would not hesitate to recommend Chataway to anyone, as our very much loved husband and dad is very well looked after.

With the onset of Covid, Mum became very isolated and her dementia began to deteriorate rapidly. I cannot thank Chataway Care enough for welcoming her into their ‘family’ which is indeed what it is. The manager and staff are immensely friendly and caring. Mum is kept safe, warm and definitely well fed!
She is happy and content and the numerous daily activities help to keep her active. I have nothing but praise for this wonderfully comfortable homely residence and its remarkable staff in one of the most testing years ever. With love to you all!

Chataway Care Home has a lovely homely atmosphere. It really does feel like a family and we are extremely happy with the care they provide. The staff are always friendly, attentive, patient, kind, reassuring and are very responsive to any queries that we raise. The whole team are supportive and work
together to anticipate and meet the residents' needs. As a family, we received outstanding support at a very difficult time so that the transition into residential care could be managed as smoothly as possible. We feel that the team all go above and beyond to ensure that we do not worry about our loved one. The team always treat residents as individuals, with dignity and respect and continually go the extra mile on little details that will make all the difference. We feel very lucky to have found Chataway and could not ask for anything more in the care that they provide.

Mum has had the best care since coming to Chataway. It's a lovely friendly small home that feels like home from home. All the staff are friendly and helpful and treat the residents like family. When mum was on end of life, they were all amazing.

Chataway was recommended for our beautiful mum who has dementia and could no longer live independently. After a really bad experience at another care home, we were naturally worried about her. This beautiful place is home from home. The care given to the residents is amazing. Staff always treat the
residents with the respect and dignity they deserve. Nothing is ever too much trouble and most of all the residents are all happy. My mum always has a lovely smile on her face, she is happy and content, and we couldn’t wish for anything more for my mum.
I live in Australia and on a recent visit, the staff organised a lovely farewell tea for my family when we left, that meant so much. The manager even takes her iPad in for me to FaceTime my mum each week. When you look around this place and see what they have and what they give to the residents it is obvious that it is all about the love of the job and not about the profit. It’s the little things that matter. Thank you doesn’t seem enough.

I always feel welcome when visiting and asked if we want a cup of tea or coffee. My relative always looks cared for and is eating and enjoying her food, this had been an issue before she came to stay at Chataway care home. There always appears to be good interactions between staff and residents. The
activities advertised on the board seem to take place as advertised. All residents seem to be treated with respect. I am well pleased.

My mother has been in Chataway Care Home for several years now and in my opinion, the staff could not have been better in that time. They have been in tune with her needs be it day to day or when higher levels of medical care have been needed ie. hospital. Manager and staff are friendly and professional
and the environment is lovely. My mother is really happy there and that is the real test of a good care home.

Chataway is a very friendly home, friendly staff and residents. It is well run and the staff provide an excellent entertainment programme for the residents.
There is a great variety of well-cooked meals for the residents to choose from. All the property is always clean and odour free. My mother is
very happy there.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.987)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.987) out of 10 for Chataway Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.987 for Chataway Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.987

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chataway Care Home is based on 13 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 14 registered maximum number of service users is 2.8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
