Sadly my mother had to go into a care home and we had to very quickly find a suitable place.
This home stood out compared to others that we visited.
It was a very difficult time but the care and genuine love felt by the staff was amazing. They are professional and nothing was too much trouble. They
responded to any feedback and helped us to feel relieved at leaving our mother. unfortunately, she passed away in the home which they managed with extreme care and we were able to be with her in her final hour. They were genuinely upset and shared our sorrow.
Everyone is approachable has compassion the standards are high. When you are dealing with one of the most difficult times of your life you need to feel confident that you have given your loved one everything that they have deserved.

I have been aware of this home since 2013 as my father was a resident between 2013 and 2016. There is a much happier and more efficient feel and good to see the manager has been in place for just over 4 years. I have stayed in touch with the staff since my father's death and it is clear the home is
much more better managed now and a reflection staff turnover seems greatly reduced. My initial conversations with two members of staff, in particular, were positive and they moved incredibly quickly to accommodate Mum. I was immediately impressed by the senior healthcare and in dealing with background and medication. etc. The activities I have met have been great.

As soon as we walk in the door, we are given a welcome by all the staff; they also ask how we are. Myself and my son are not concerned about anything, which we appreciate very much. The only thing we can say is there seems a shortage of staff at the weekends. We always enjoy the cup of tea we can have

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

The care home has good outdoor space and presents well. After an accident, my son was in a vegetative state and was cared in the residence for 3 years in one of the units. In the last 3 years, the staff has gradually reduced by 40%, this reflected in the care given to the residents. I had to visit and
check daily my son's comfort, the care he required, and if his needs were met as he was unable to communicate. When he looked in discomfort I had to ask for painkillers to be given, if his skin had sores I had to ask for a doctor's assessment for creams to be prescribed, I had to check fluid charts if laxative was needed. My son had to sit on a chair supervised for 4 hours and the care home was struggling to assign a carer because more than often there was shortness of staff. Many carers are nice and helpful. The night staff is half of what it was 3 years ago and therefore pushed to the limit. The decline in nursing care contributed to my son's discomfort.

Reply from Raj Boodhoo, General Manager at Barchester Chalfont Lodge Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I would like to pass on my sincere condolences again and appreciate this is a really difficult time for you. As we had previously discussed, this was a very complex situation that was carefully managed by our team, and I am very sorry this remains your view of the care given to your son whilst he was living in our care home. I would like to assure you again, as we did previously in meetings held, that our staffing levels were, and continue to be, safe and appropriate to the needs and dependencies of both the residents and the staff within the home. Please be assured that providing high-quality care and ensuring the safety of our residents remains our utmost priority at all times, and if you would like to discuss any of your concerns with me again, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

My husband is a spinal patient and therefore confined to bed or a wheelchair and has been in Chalfont Lodge for 6 months. He is mentally fine. He finds the staff caring and considerate. He is treated with dignity. Generally, he is happy with the food and there is a good choice. Because of his poor hand
coordination, he is unable to do some of the activities but enjoys the music, both joining in and listening. He enjoyed being in the pantomime. He would welcome more church services, talks and games. He would enjoy outside visits. His room is small but chosen for its rural view.
As a regular visitor, I find the staff helpful and friendly. Inevitably our family visits in the home have recently and regrettably been restricted to his room because of Covid. Where problems arise it is usually caused by a lack of communication.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.915)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.915) out of 10 for Barchester Chalfont Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 64 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 64 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 4.915 for Barchester Chalfont Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (702 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 764 Ratings = 4.915

  • 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 Barchester Chalfont Lodge Care Home is based on 64 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 106 registered maximum number of service users is 21.2, which has been reached with 64 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.
