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 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.

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.
