Staff within the home are friendly and welcoming. Mum had previously been in Chapel Level for respite and when requiring long-term care for her the support offered by the home was excellent.

Very welcoming, friendly on each arrival.


The only issue is for my gran to have a chair so she is comfortable and able to join in activities taking place.


I believe the issue is resolved, however, slight lack of communication during this process. Overall my gran is well cared for happy and content.

Thank you for your lovely review of the care and staff within Chapel Level. It can be frustrating waiting for specialist equipment. It is with the specialist equipment team within HC-One whom are ensuring that the equipment sourced meets the requirements. Stage 3 specialised chairs are made to order and as soon as I have an update I will ensure that you are all informed. Please continue to raise any concerns over the care we provide with me at any time. Thank you for the time you took to leave this lovely review.

Mum has been in the home since June 2017. She is peg fed and therefore does not get any food orally. The staff are kind and caring. The activity coordinator has been very good. We have has some trouble getting a chair for mum to be comfortable in when out of her bed and the communication could have
been better relating to this subject. Mum is comfortable in her bed but would like a cup of tea every now and again (more input from SALT would be good) staff and management are very friendly and supportive to both mum and us as a family.

My mother settled quickly to Chapel Level Care Home after having previously moved from a care home to hospital. The staff are lovely and very caring and supportive and the nursing care both present and past has been very attentive and informative, as well as listening to concerns regarding my mother's
health.


The setting is comfortable and access to the extra lounge can make visiting more relaxing, allowing space to sit and chat away from the main area. The activities co-ordinator is dedicated to her job and tries hard to involve both residents and their family/friends. Overall I am happy with everything.

My mother-in-law is in the dementia unit at Chapel Care Home and the care she receives is excellent when visiting if anything is needed the staff are more than happy to assist even with small tasks like pouring a cup of drink.
It is reassuring to know that she is well looked after, fed regularly with
good meals and safe.

My mother-in-law was a resident in Chapel Level for 5 years until she passed away a few weeks ago. I cannot thank the staff enough for making it a safe, comfortable and loving home for her. She was always well cared for, with dignity and respect and was genuinely looked after and loved by all the staff.
Not only did they care for her but for us as well. We are forever grateful to them all.

My friend was looked after very well.
Staff were caring, friendly and caring to him personally.
The range of food was good but my friend had different every-day food needs and this was the home's only difficulty. He would have rated this part of the care poor.
Overall the home was very clean, a good
atmosphere and the facilities were of a good standard.

Always easy to access and visit my cousin and his wife. Home always clean, staff friendly, cheery, hard working. Meals on menu always look favourably good. Parking can sometimes be a bit tight but understand it is how it is.

I have been here for three weeks and my stay has been extended. We are awaiting further help for me at home to be put in place. I have been very happy here. The staff are so kind and so helpful. They can't do enough to help. The staff make some time to talk and always answer any question. I feel I trust
them and can talk about anything.

Visit my friend on a regular basis and the home is a pleasure to visit. They have recently been all decorated and alterations which are lovely. Can't wait till the summer when we can use the court yard again. Would recommend this home and will keep in mind when my time comes.

Although my husband spent only 9 days in Chapel Level, the level of care given was exceptional. All of the staff went the extra mile for both my husband and myself. I felt that I had made friends. I thank them for the endless cups of tea and comfort. I would recommend this care home without hesitation.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Chapel Level Care Home 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.813 for Chapel Level Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 364 Ratings = 4.813

  • 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 Chapel Level Care Home is based on 30 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 30 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.
