I recently spent two weeks at Chiswick Nursing Centre following a knee replacement operation, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care I received. The nursing staff were amazing and professional, ensuring I was comfortable throughout my stay. The help from the care team was equally fantastic, always
positive and encouraging, which made a real difference to my recovery. A special mention goes to the physiotherapist whose expertise and encouragement played a huge role in helping me get back on my feet. Overall, the support I received was second to none, and I'm very grateful for the outstanding care provided by everyone at the centre.

Reply from Steve Winter, Centre Director at The Chiswick Nursing Centre

I am pleased to hear that your stay with us and that the physiotherapy rehabilitation provided was as you had expected and more importantly was what you needed. Thank you for your kind review. Regards, The Chiswick Nursing Centre.

My mother needed temporary, respite care while her home was undergoing building works. She is 91, had had a recent hip operation and has dementia. The care home were wonderful in looking after her, providing regular physio sessions, and support when required. The standard of food, both for her and her
visitors, was excellent, and varied as required. All the nursing and support staff were very friendly and attentive. There were regular events and entertainment organised, which my mother much enjoyed, and was an added bonus for us. She made a number of friends there, whom she will miss. Overall, we were delighted with the service from The Chiswick Nursing Centre and would both recommend it, and return if needed.

Reply from Steve Winter, Centre Director at The Chiswick Nursing Centre

Dear Hugh. Thank you very much for your kind words of appreciation. I am glad that we could help at a time when your Mother most needed the help. She is very welcome to return and visit us and those friends whom she made at The Nursing Centre - drop in for a Cup of Tea and a Cake anytime... Best wishes

My dad is a resident at The Chiswick Nursing Centre and needs 24-hour care after suffering a life-changing stroke. This nursing home has all the capabilities and facilities to deal with his complex nursing needs. They have been most helpful, supportive and understanding. The staff are kind and care
for the residents. I would recommend this nursing home to others and thank them for the work they do.

Reply from Steve Winter, Centre Director at The Chiswick Nursing Centre

Dear I. Thank you for your kind words and comments. We are happy that you are pleased with the service. Your Dad is such a likeable chap and we enjoy meeting his care and nursing needs. Kind regards.

All the staff seemed very caring, competent and friendly. They would occasionally forget to carry out requests but this seemed to be when staff were very busy, or there was not enough staff on duty. Physiotherapy very good and was really beneficial. The room was bland a bit poky (not very much room
to operate in with medical equipment or more than one person). It felt like being in a 3-star hotel. Lighting was inadequate (an anglepoise lamp was brought in after the complaint). Food was mostly good but often tasteless. Having 2 menus was confusing. But the chef was willing to adapt meals at my mother's request. The client liaison person and Activities Coordinator helpful (although my mother did not wish to participate in any activities). A garden was advertised but no visits were ever offered. Management invisible and contract lengthy and difficult for my mother to read through. The drama of de-registering from her GP and registering with the resident GP nerve-wracking, but not the Centre's fault.

Reply from Steve Winter, Centre Director at The Chiswick Nursing Centre

Thank you for your helpful review. I am glad that overall the service which provided was rated so highly by you and your Mother. The areas for improvement have all been noted and most have already been addressed as a part of our plans for a full refurbishment of the nursing Suite where your Mother was based. I am glad that the Chef was able to assist by modifying the meals chosen by your Mother when requested.

My friend is very happy and settled at Chiswick Nursing Centre.
I visit regularly and have been very impressed with all the interactions I have had with doctors, nurses and the care staff.
Everyone has been pleasant and welcoming to visitors and gentle and all the staff are equally pleasant and
caring in their dealings with my friend and other residents. My friend enjoys all his meals - he definitely did not do so when he was in hospital! I have seen for myself how appetisingly they are presented, both on trays when residents are in bed and at the table in the day room.
It is also very nice to be offered tea and biscuits when I visit my friend at tea time! I was very surprised at the amount of activities that are organised for residents. There is something going on each month. I was present when two alpacas visited, and saw for myself how much everyone enjoyed interacting with these gentle animals. My friend still talks about that visit.

Reply from Steve Winter, Centre Director at The Chiswick Nursing Centre

Thank you for reviewing our Nursing Home. I am pleased that you have been able to see your friend enjoying the services that we provide and also to see how much he has thrived since coming to us from the Hospital. Kind regards.

I would highly recommend the Chiswick Nursing Centre from my first telephone call etc. I had a total hip replacement and wanted somewhere physio was included. I definitely was not disappointed. I stayed for one week and all the nurses, carers and the physiotherapy department were excellent. I stayed
at the Balmoral suite.
Thank you to everyone!

The Chiswick Nursing Centre has provided exceptional service for my sister in the Balmoral suite. The staff of Chiswick Nursing Center are extraordinary from the welcoming front desk person to the nurses, the carers, and all of the staff who support the residents. They are helpful, patient people who
always have a kind word and a smile for residents and visitors alike.
Food services and cleanliness are excellent.

Reply from Steve Winter, Centre Director at The Chiswick Nursing Centre

Thank you for your review of our services. It has been our pleasure to help care for your sister and to ensure that she was as comfortable as possible at a time when she most needed it.

Without exception every member of staff has been professional. Booking the room, receptionists, manager, nurses, catering staff, accounts, cleaners - all kind, helpful and welcoming. I feel my mum has people who connect with her and are proud of their work to help her as well as reassuring and communicating
well with me so I get some support. When you promise to never put your parents in a home and then circumstances change you feel very apprehensive. The Chiswick Nursing Centre has offered the very best solution for us and is actively working to improve a difficult situation. It is a lot of money but when you realise the quality of care and provision it is understandable. It is tucked away in a peaceful but very handy location and feels like a hidden gem. As a daughter I believe that my mum is safe, respected, comfortable and improving with their care.

Reply from Steve Winter, Centre Director at The Chiswick Nursing Centre

Thank you for your kind words that reflect how hard we work to ensure that the team here provide the best possible care. It is reassuring to know that the time taken to train and provide high-quality staff is paying dividends.

We had a very good experience with The Chiswick Nursing Centre.
The staff who looked after my mother were wonderful and looked after her very well with great patience and sympathy. This applied not only to the carers and nurses but also to all the staff at different levels and in different jobs that
we engaged with (including the people on the ground floor reception). We never met anyone at The Chiswick who was not very kind and cheerful and wonderful and patient with the residents.
The arrangements for medical care with the local GP's practice were also first-class and my mother saw the GP more in three weeks than she had seen her previous GP in the last three years!
We very much appreciated everything that was done for my mother in the time she was at The Chiswick.

I have always found all of the staff polite and friendly. I have also liaised with the management and office and have always had a prompt and timely response to my queries. I feel that my father is in safe hands and I know that the doctors are visiting him regularly and reporting to me. The nurses on
his ward also seem to have a good knowledge of my father. The Chiswick has gone above and beyond in organising dentists and opticians. I am so grateful for the activities that are organised and try to participate with my father as it makes a difference to the visit. Very pleased with the service provided.

We have had a very positive experience at Chiswick Nursing Centre. The staff have been unhesitatingly kind, helpful and responsive. They have made sure my husband has had his needs regarding personal care and toileting handled sensitively and with dignity. The food and the catering have been of a high
standard. We would highly recommend it as an excellent nursing centre.

Do not go here, from my experience you will be putting your loved ones in danger! Incompetent leads the incompetent!
The care staff lie a lot and the nursing staff believe them!
I have had to call an ambulance several times just to pee or they leave you long enough in a wet bed to get sores!
Be
warned and watch out!
This is true to my personal experience.

Dear Mr A.
I am sorry that your persistent and challenging behaviour has led to our need to formally evict you from the nursing centre. That said, I do not believe that your eviction should be cause for inaccurate or misleading reviews via this website. I trust that anyone reading your review will take it with a measure of understanding that your situation is quite complex.
You will be aware that we have been in constant discussion with your social work team and other healthcare professionals to try and meet your needs, but that your behaviour towards staff and others has left us with no option other than to conclude that your needs cannot be safely met at the Nursing Centre.

Uncomfortable with male carers, would like response time to be quicker. Not washed until 11.00. Otherwise, everything is good.

Reply from Steve Winter, Centre Director at The Chiswick Nursing Centre

Many thanks for your review, which is much appreciated.
As discussed when your mother moved into our care, it is understandable that she would have wanted care from female care staff and that was easily resolved as soon as we understood her wishes in that respect.
Your mother was a pleasure to care for.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.173)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.173) out of 10 for The Chiswick Nursing Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 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 4.488 for The Chiswick Nursing Centre is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.488

  • 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 4.685 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Chiswick Nursing Centre is based on 20 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 146 registered maximum number of service users is 29.2. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 29.2 = 0.685

  • 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.
