Chaseley is an excellent care home for people with severe and challenging physical disabilities. We have found a haven of safety, kindness. expertise and true understanding in Chaseley which provides so well for my brother's needs both on a physical and emotional level. Chaseley is like a family, and
also very much inclusive of relatives and friends of residents. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who work tirelessly to provide the best possible care. It is a lovely environment for all. The activities on offer and the support team are brilliant.

Reply from Patricia Dark, Fundraising & Marketing Manager at The Chaseley Trust

Our Daughter has resided in The Chaseley Trust for almost 15 years. During this time she has experienced many changes, with Management and staff of All levels. What hasn't changed is the excellent quality of care that she has received. OK. I must admit, we've experienced a number of issues during this
time, but these have always been addressed when they have appeared, or as our daughter or us parents, have brought to the attention of management. Staff are recruited from many nationalities, like most healthcare establishments, but their attention and care is always good, which reflects upon how the place operates. There are many organised activities which residents can join in, if able, helped, or just to observe. Often entertainment is arranged, with visiting artists. Much credit going to the Entertainment staff. The building itself is in a position on the seafront with wonderful views which can be seen from the gardens or a sun lounge. Maintained by a great maintenance team !

Reply from Patricia Dark, Fundraising & Marketing Manager at The Chaseley Trust

Thank you for sharing your experience and for your kind words about the care your daughter has received over the years. We truly appreciate your recognition of our dedicated staff, activities team, and maintenance crew. It's wonderful to hear that she enjoys the entertainment and the beautiful seafront setting. Your feedback means a lot, and we're always here to support your family.

Chaseley organises very varied and diverse activities for residents to enjoy. The staff are very caring and attentive to my brother and warm and friendly. He is always clean and well-presented, not being able to fulfil his own care needs independently. The staff have kindness and patience in abundance,
thank you.

Love Chaseley and especially like the location, activities and dedication of staff to their clients.
I have visited several times and been made to feel very welcome.
Especially like the outside activities for the mobile clients!

Reply from Patricia Dark, Fundraising & Marketing Manager at The Chaseley Trust

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are excited that the warm, and hopefully sunny, weather is finally on its way so we can plan many more outdoor activities. Just looking out to the sea from our gardens is healing for residents as well as staff. We are extremely grateful for your ongoing support.

A fantastic care home with amazing views and staff who go the extra mile to ensure everything possible is done to make life good for residents. A big shout out to the well-being team who provide so many activities and entertainment. There is so much to join in with, and loads of varied, well thought-out
activities. The gym is brilliant - again a dedicated team - and holistic/massage is also excellent.
All in all a first-class care home with great values.

Reply from Patricia Dark, Fundraising & Marketing Manager at The Chaseley Trust

Thank you for your kind words. We also think our activities team is fabulous, they keep staff and the residents smiling. The gym staff are also top-notch. Did you know the gym is open to anyone in the community who needs our speciality services? Thank you for supporting the work our various teams do, and for being a part of the Chaseley family.

Mum is in the most brilliant place. Mum is cared for fantastically, staff keep me updated all the time with her care and if Mum is unwell.
Lots of activities put on and visitors are included all the time, it has a feel of family more than a home.
Wouldn't wish my mum to be anywhere else but The Chaseley
Trust.

Reply from Patricia Dark, Fundraising & Marketing Manager at The Chaseley Trust

Your heartfelt words have truly touched our team at The Chaseley Trust. Thank you immensely for sharing such a wonderful review about your mum's experience with us.

Creating a familial atmosphere is at the core of what we aim for and we're delighted to hear that it resonates with you. Inclusivity for visitors and the abundance of activities are integral to making The Chaseley Trust feel like a home, not just a care facility.
Your trust and kind words inspire us to continue providing the best care possible. We're honoured to be the chosen place for your mum's well-being and we're here to support both of you every step of the way.
Thank you again for your heartwarming feedback.

My partner has been at The Chaseley Trust for a number of years and is well cared for. The home has a friendly, welcoming feel and provides excellent services to enhance both physical and emotional well-being. What, for me, would turn it from a good to an excellent care home would be an improvement
in communication both between the home and the family and between the different departments in the care home.

Reply from Andrew Burt, Registered Manager at The Chaseley Trust

Thank you for your kind feedback. I am pleased to hear that your partner is well cared for and the home has a friendly, welcoming feel. Although new to the post, I am determined to improve our internal and external communication and very much recognise the ongoing significance of timely joined-up communication. Thank you.

It was a difficult decision finding a residential home for our 47-year-old daughter after many years of her living in her own bungalow with a personal care team. She has now been at The Chaseley Trust for a month now and she is so happy there. The level of care and nursing is brilliant but that's not
all, the atmosphere is one of real love and that's the most important thing. Our daughter is always busy doing activities and being with staff and residents. All the staff have worked hard to assist her settle in. Not just the care staff and nurses but the administration too have been marvellous in helping us and our daughter to embark on the next phase of her life. We are both relieved and delighted that we made the decision to send her to The Chaseley Trust and feel confident that she has a long and satisfying life ahead of her.

Reply from Jodie Cornford, Fundraising and Marketing Manager at The Chaseley Trust

Thank you so much for choosing Chaseley to support your daughter. We are loving getting to know her and spending time with her and the family.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and we will be sure to share your very kind words with the team. Thank you.

We moved our mother to The Chaseley Trust so we could be nearer to her as we know our time with her is limited. We also wanted her to be somewhere lively so she could have more interaction. Mum has been at Chaseley since the end of September and the difference is really noticeable. Firstly, she receives
a really really high standard of care and the care team are dedicated, supportive and very nurturing with her. Secondly, to watch the activities team weave their magic with the residents is truly inspiring - they are amazing. It is very humbling to watch them in action. We, as a family feel our mum is in the best place to finish out her last years. Thank you all.

Thank you for taking the time to review Chaseley, we really do appreciate it. It is so lovely to read such wonderful comments about what the team do, we will be sure to share these with them. It is an absolute pleasure to care for, and support your mum and we look forward to spending more time with her. Emma, CEO.

As usual, all visits to my son were subject to usual government guidelines to ensure a safe environment for carers and residents. All staff we encountered were helpful and fully aware of both our and our son's needs. I never cease to be overwhelmingly in awe of the dedication and professionalism of
the staff we meet. My wife, daughter and I are always eternally grateful for the standard of care that my son receives. It certainly helps us to cope with his situation to know he is amongst friends.

Chaseley's management and staff demonstrate everything one wants from a care home. They are kind, hardworking, thoughtful and very knowledgeable about the needs of the residents who are highly disabled. Residents are safe there and cared for. Every effort is made to provide the residents with interesting
things to do and as much entertainment as possible. Covid has put a strain on all care homes but Chaseley has been outstanding in managing an extremely difficult situation.

Reply from Jodie Cornford, Fundraising Manager at The Chaseley Trust

What can I say, My friend went into Chaseley with no confidence, low self-worth and esteem and just not coping with life. This month she has gone home after her rehab, a new woman. Thank you to the management and staff team at Chaseley for their kindness, their care and for being simply incredible.
Thank you for giving back lives, when it matters the most.

Seeing all the preparation they have been doing for Christmas, by the pictures they have posted on their website and by hearing about what upcoming activities they have, from visiting my friend and seeing how happy my friend is, makes me feel so happy that they are residing at Chaseley. Throughout the
pandemic, all staff have been doing their hardest and still making time to make things special for their residents, even though we are not allowed into the actual building, they ensure we can still visit is the visiting room. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at Chaseley and they are always on hand, should any help or advice be required. The new CEO is always smiling and from what we see on the website, interacts extremely well with the residents, even having a sing along with them! My advice to anyone looking for a home for a loved one is to make sure you look at Chaseley.

Reply from Jodie Cornford, Fundraising Manager at The Chaseley Trust

Before my friend reached 'The Chaseley Trust', she was in a very distressed state. It was heart-wrenching to see someone I cared for, and someone who loved and cared for so many others during her too short a life, having to endure so much discomfort. Thankfully, with the help of the palliative care
team from the hospice, she was placed under the care of the dedicated team of nurses and support staff at The Chaseley. Very quickly, her frustration dissipated, her pain was managed, the simple alternative treatments she longed for were willingly given, and for the first time, in a very long time, my friend rested calmly. Thank you, Chaseley.

My friend is currently a resident at Chaseley, and whilst we haven't been able to visit them inside the building for nearly a year, we were able to do some garden visits in the summer (in between lockdowns), and we regularly catch up on Facetime.


The team at Chaseley have done an amazing job looking

after the residents throughout the whole Covid pandemic and have done their best to keep everyone safe and happy. They are always friendly and willing to assist with any visits or Facetimes when needed. The activities team have been brilliant at ensuring everyone is kept busy and entertained, we know they had singers in the garden over the summer, and they even organised Christmas Zoom bingo for residents and their families.


The care team are also amazing, and probably don't get the recognition they deserve, but when we can visit once more, my family will be sure to tell them.


We are all grateful for the care, the support and the fun that Chaseley give our friend.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for The Chaseley Trust is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.809 for The Chaseley Trust is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.809

  • 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 The Chaseley Trust is based on 12 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 12 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.
