Overall Experience

From the very first time Muim set foot in the care home, they could not do enough for her. The manager and every one of her staff were amazing. The whole place had a friendly welcoming vibe to it. The care Mum got was the best we could wish for. Had a lovely room and she was very happy there and was

treated with utmost respect and dignity. I can't thank everyone enough for everything they did for not only her but also every visitor.

Overall Experience

Our Father, Grandfather, and great-grandfather were placed under the care of Chestfield House. Up until the sudden illness he had lived with us at home, independent of his personal needs, so moving to a home was a hard decision.
The staff could not have been kinder and understanding to both his and

our needs such wonderful staff, thank you.

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law had a very difficult final 14 months due to ill health. The home did everything it could to improve her quality of life during this time and keep her as comfortable as possible. They made her visitors welcome and always greeted everyone with a smile. We are very grateful to the staff

involved for their care and patience.

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law was at the home for just over a year. In that time the staff took the time to get to know her, her likes and dislikes, her hobbies and asked about the family. Their care was professional, kind and caring all of the time making sure she was comfortable and assessing when pain relief

was needed in consultation with her. They were accommodating when we wished to bring in our own picnic for our mum. When visiting if it was refreshment time visitors were offered a beverage and biscuits.
We brought in photos and pictures of family, and babies new to the clan and adorned the room so that it felt homely and personal. On her birthday the home provided a cake and singing to celebrate the occasion.
It was comforting when leaving the home to know she was in such good care.

Overall Experience

My mother spent the last 15 months of her life being cared for by the lovely staff at Chestfield House. They treated her with dignity and managed to meet her regular demands with patience and humour, they allowed her to personalise her time by letting have her own coffees and soups, and most importantly

butter for her toast!
She had her wall with pictures etc.
I only have praise for them all! Thank you for making her so comfortable

On the occasions I visited the staff were always polite, friendly and helpful. They tried their best if there was a particular dietary request made by my stepmother. We were always offered a drink and staff tried to find extra chairs for visitors when needed. The room was kept clean and tidy and staff

tried to make my step-mum as comfortable as possible.

Overall Experience

We chose Chestfield House from a limited list of homes able to provide continuing health care for our dad’s final days, following a stay in the hospice. We knew he was dying imminently and it was very important to us that he was not alone when he passed away. Staff ensured this was the case, allowing

us to come and go as necessary, when we felt he was close to the end. For this, I am truly grateful and I commend them for their care, kindness and compassion. We did come across one member of staff whom I would say was ‘difficult’, but then, there is always one! The room was a bit tired, but in general, the home was warm, clean and comfortable. Dad (and his visitors) were made to feel welcome and most importantly, staff ensured Dad passed away with dignity and free of pain. We could not have asked for more. The manager was just so lovely to us. I can’t thank her enough.

Overall Experience

My mum first found it difficult as her independence had now ceased due to her health. My mum found the staff friendly and helpful and this helped her transition. She said the food was OK, but hated the toast cold, but loved her hot coffee which the staff made sure was to her liking, the staff worked

very hard to make my mum comfortable and to ensure her food was nice. My mum always was glamorous and the staff helped my mum with her hair and makeup. I would say Mum was quite happy as the staff would come and chat with her which she enjoyed and the staff made all her visitors very welcome. I personally found all the staff lovely, friendly and helpful. The room was standard clean but maybe needed a coat of paint and new blinds to make it more homely.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident from mid-January 2023 until her recent passing. The shortest review would be to say that when my time comes I hope that I can go to a home that is identical to Chestfield House and is run by the current team.
Everyone is so very professional but to me, even more important,

friendly and approachable.
I'm so pleased with the kindness and dignity our Mum received during her visit. Mum always felt safe and we knew she was being looked after with care and compassion.

Overall Experience

My dad stayed here when he had cancer and was very weak and fragile, however, all the staff were very caring and attentive and looked after him very well.
His room was bright, clean and had a good view. Parking when visiting was not a worry. As a family, we were glad to have chosen Chestfield house

for him, he was comfortable and was taken excellent care of.
I wish to express my gratitude to the manager and everyone at Chesterfield House.

The manager and her team of professional carers have provided my mother an exemplary standard of care over the past thirty months. Every member of the team is approachable and friendly, including all the auxiliary staff and those providing additional services such as hair care and chiropodists. Mum

is always clean and well presented on our visits and has a happy disposition. Communication with Chestfield House is excellent!

My father needed twenty-four hour care. The care home made my father very welcome and made him very comfortable. Care they gave him was outstanding. When my mother visited my father they made her feel very comfortable with the place and gave her time to talk about his needs etc. Staff were very good.

Please give this place some thoughts for your loved ones. A very big thank you to them all. My father passed away and support the staff gave was brilliant. Well done to this care home. Many thanks.

Overall Experience

The care home stepped in when my father was terminally ill and we were unable to treat Dad at home. Within 24 hours of asking for help, my father was settled into the home and was receiving excellent treatment and was stabilised. Instantly we could see that the staff were caring, professional and competent

to look after Dad’s needs. Although Dad’s time at the nursing home was short, it made an incredible difference to Dad’s end of life journey. I cannot thank the staff enough for this.

My brother was transferred from the hospital as he needed 24-hour care but this is an environment that was more like a home. Although very sick he enjoyed being able to have pictures and photographs around him, reminding him of his loving family. the home has an atmosphere of peace and love. You could

not fault any member of staff who were all very caring and respectful to both my brother and all his visitors. I can honestly say that nothing was ever too much trouble. My sincere thanks for all you did for my brother.
