Chestnut Residential Care Home is a small care home in Gloucester and provides high standards of personal care in a friendly and homely setting.
If you are looking for residential care including dementia care or respite care, you will find a warm welcome waiting for you. We can help you make a decision that suits you best and support you all the way through.
Caring
We develop an individual care plan for our residents and make a note of personal preferences of each resident.
Committed
We provide excellent standards of personal care and residential care to create a happy place for our residents to stay.
Well-trained
We carefully select our staff for their desire and ability to care for the elderly. We continually invest in their on-going training.
According to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) size matters in care homes with small doing better than large.
Generally smaller services that are designed to care for fewer people were rated better than larger services.
Accommodation
Accommodation With En-suite Bedrooms
Chestnut Care is a deceptively large and well-presented Edwardian house. There are 5 en-suite bedrooms which are very spacious and 4 of them have a wet room each to ensure complete privacy.
The bedrooms are pleasantly decorated and residents can personalise their room with their favourite items of furniture (subject to space and fire regulations) and momentos. Each bedroom has a TV point.
The communal areas are the lounge, dining room and there is a large, well-maintained garden which gives pleasant surroundings for relaxation.
Full-time 24 Hour Care
Full Time 24 Hour Residential Care Service
Whether you are looking for full time (24 hour) residential care including dementia care or just a period of respite care, you will find a warm welcome waiting for you at Chestnut Care.
We develop an individualised care plan and make a note of personal preferences of each resident. This ensures every person has a say on the care they receive and the activities they participate in.
To help us improve our residential care further, we also encourage regular feedback from residents, relatives and other professionals and continually review our practices.
Chestnut Care has successfully completed a Quality Assurance review carried out by the Care Quality Commission (June 2019) and was able to demonstrate the good quality of service provided by the home.
Respite Care
Short-term stay
A period of respite at Chestnut Care for a loved one will provide a welcome break for a relative or carer. We also provide respite care for people who need convalescing after discharge from hospital. If, after respite, you wish to stay longer term, this can be arranged.
Care Values
High Standards Of Personal Care
Residents are involved in planning their own care which recognises their individual needs and rights to privacy, dignity, choice, respect and fulfilment.
Our mission is to meet the needs of our residents by making a positive difference in their lives in delivering high standards of personal care with quality accommodation and support services.
Our assessment criteria ensure that the individual’s needs will be met and a resident is encouraged to have a trial period to decide if Chestnut Care is the right choice.

Freshly Prepared And Nutritious Food
We understand how important the food that we serve is tasty and a balanced nutrition.
Our meals are freshly prepared and nutritious and we offer choices and will always endeavour to fulfil a specific request.
We also cater for special dietary needs.
Staff
Qualified And Experienced Care Home Staff
Our qualified and experienced staff are carefully selected for their desire and ability to care for the elderly.
They provide excellent standards of personal and residential care to create a happy place for our residents to stay.
Activities
Encouraging Residents To Keep Active
Residents are given every opportunity and the encouragement to follow hobbies and share interest in new ones. The care home offers a wide range of activities designated to encourage residents to keep active and most importantly an interest in life.
Chestnut Care makes every effort to enable residents to follow or attend religious services if they so wish.
Families and friends of residents are welcome to visit at any reasonable time or take a resident out for the day if they prefer.
Testimonials
My mother only used to go two days, but by her own choice goes most days now, so that really speaks for itself.
We have regular visits from the chiropodist, reflexologist, hairdresser, a regular change of library books, etc. and no anxieties, night or day, you are never alone unless you want to be and we have our own room where we can go to if we wish. The staff I mustn’t forget, they are the best and you know they all really care. They even took us out to Sunday dinner in their care. Thanks also to the Manager/owner.
This home is not over crowded as like many homes in the past she has been to. That is why Chestnut is a lovely place to stay.
The care is excellent, mum is so well looked after, and is very happy. All the staff are great and so kind. We are well informed about all aspects of mum’s aspects of mum’s care. All the family who have come to visit, have been made welcome and have been very impressed with the care. The home is a lovely place to stay.
Thanks to Bibi and her staff Mum’s stay was a great success. Thank you for all you have done for Mum and making us so welcome.

Bibi Junglee and her family and staff have made my Grandmother most welcome and treat her with great care and patience. Not only are they attentive with her, they make my family and I welcome when we visit and always offer us refreshments.
The premises are always clean and fresh and appear to cater to all of my Grandmother’s requirements. I would not hesitate in recommending The Chestnut Care Home and Bibi and her team to anybody looking for Respite or Residential care.
It is a well decorated & well laid out home, with all the necessary fittings for the ongoing care of the elderly. The owner Bibi & her staff are very attentive to the residents & to visitors. Our mother is a resident & is very content with both the Home environment & the staff. She is very pleased with her room & is happy when in the ample sized lounge. All in all she is happy to be here & we have no worries knowing she is being well looked after & cared for.
Mum enjoyed her time there and as we were looking for a permanent care home for her, decided that this would be the ideal place.
Mum is looking forward to going back to Chestnut Care and making it her home.
