Reviews for Cheverton Lodge Care Home

Cheverton Lodge is an excellent care home, staff here are very kind and caring and acheive good outcomes for residents. All patients look well cared for and are happy and comfortable.

My sister spent a short time in cheverton Lodge after being diagnosed with cancer. Myself and my family can not thank the staff enough for the love and care they gave my sister in the short time she was there. I want to say a massive thank you to Dee and Geraldine they were absaloutely amazing also thank you to Gayathri.
We can't put in to words how thankfull we are to all of them for the respect, love and exceptional care they showed my sister ,as well as dealing with us at a very difficult time, right up until the day my sister passed away.
At first when we had to view the home I was very unsure but after meeting Tesh the manager we felt at ease. Thank you Tesh for making a very difficult time in not only my life but my sisters life a little easier.
We really can not thank you enough.

Dee and Geraldine we will never forget you , you truly are lovely, caring people thank you on behalf of my beautiful sister Helen.

"Cheverton Lodge has provided the highest levels of care and comfort to our elderly Mother. The staff are professional and are quick to advise on any issues. My mother tells us the food is always good, and she enjoys the group events and other social activities. Cheverton Lodge operates successfully due to the home's managers' professionalism and skill."

"My friend has been at Cheverton Lodge for 3 months now. She settled in very quickly, and easily, due to the skills and friendliness of the staff. She is very well cared for, she has put on weight and she is happy to take part in the varied activities organised by the home. She is happy here. I couldn't fault the care she is given."

"Beautifully situated in a peaceful, sunny enclave, looking out over greenery & the countryside. Immaculately clean with great communal spaces & activities. Great food choices & menus to suit. Lovely, happy staff who are incredibly conscientious, kind, who we know by name + who feel like friends. (Under the watchful eyes of the manager who leads by being present). Love that the family & dog can drop in & out to suit our erratic timetables & are always welcome. Cannot recommend enough as they go the extra distance."

"My sister came her after being in hospital, we viewed Cheverton Lodge on her behalf and straight away were very impressed by how clean + modern the place is. The manager gave us a tour and answered all of our questions. (we had a lot :) ) We have found all of the staff to be very helpful and caring. My sister is very happy here and feels at home. We can't thank all of the team enough, to many people to mention that we have met so far. Thank you Cheverton Lodge :)"

"My mum has spent her last year at Cheverton Lodge and was treated with such loving care from some wonderful people, I really cannot thank everyone more. The new manager is doing a great job and has a fantastic team behind him. It's a beautiful building which looks more like a hotel than a nursing home and is bright and cheerful and always kept spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place for their loved one."

"My mother-in-law was very well looked after in this care home. The care was second to none. All staff were caring and compassionate and delivered a very high standard of care. The home is well maintained and kept very clean. The food is nutritious and varied. My mother-in-law has very complex health needs and we will always be grateful for the exceptional care she received at Cheverton Lodge. Special thanks to the Manager for managing the place so efficiently especially during Covid."

"The manager and his team are very caring and considerate. My mother has a lot of medical issues and is a complex case. Having a qualified nurse on the floor was a key criteria when we chose the Cheverton Lodge. They did not disappoint. Everyone was very professional and went over and above to ensure mums stay was safe. Family is very important and they went out of their way to ensure family visits could take place in a safe environment for all, especially during Covid. This kept mums spirits up and kept her mentally strong. The process for booking visits was also very good. Special mention goes to the manager and his team. But everyone was so lovely and caring. Thank you so much for all you did during her visit. We would definitely highly recommend the Cheverton Lodge for anyone considering getting help with the care of a loved one."

"My mother was transferred to Cheverton Lodge Care home following a series of hospitalisations in July 2021. We were at our wit's end trying to find appropriate care for her as her health had deteriorated rapidly. I had already visited this care home which is also a nursing home and had a good feeling about it. The level of care is exceptional, the staff are all extremely friendly and have a warm yet professional approach with residents. It is probably more suited to frail or disabled older people than to those who would benefit from a wide range of activities. There are strong links to local health provisions and my mother has received the kind of attention she needed and had missed out on during the pandemic and while living in a rural area. I am extremely happy with my choice of care home and would thoroughly recommend it."

"My mum stayed for one month's respite after a knee replacement. She felt looked after and safe. The manager is exceptional and makes time for the residents, extremely approachable, caring and responsive. Carers and nurses were kind, friendly and treated my mum with respect. Great reception staff physio was arranged privately via the manager's recommendation, however, in the home itself, there wasn't anyone to support my mum with physical recovery in terms of exercise, overall very good."

"My mother has been cared for in Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home now since December 2019, and I can highly praise the level of care and attention given in all this time. A special thank you must be given to the activities coordinator for her commitment to keeping my mother active and happy and to the care staff who do an amazing job and are always friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this care home."

"My cousin, who has been a resident at Cheverton Lodge for well over a year, celebrated her 93rd birthday there in April 2022. It was a delightful, family occasion, with five cousins present from our generation and one more from the younger generation. We all appreciated the warm welcome, the choice of a comfortable room indoors or seating in the garden, the lovely birthday cake specially baked by the chef, and other staff popping in to chat. Thank you, Cheverton, for making it such a happy occasion!"

"My mother was a resident of Cheverton Lodge. The care she received was outstanding. The staff were caring and compassionate, they took time to answer any questions we had. In her final week,s the manager allowed myself to stay overnight. I cannot thank all the staff enough."

"My mother was in Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home for the final 3 months of her life. She had previously been in a care home in the Midlands so I had a good sense of what to expect. Cheverton Lodge proved to be wonderful. Mum needed nursing care and had complex needs. She was well cared for and treated with respect and kindness throughout her stay. The home has excellent support from a local GP practice as well as other services in Islington. This really helped Mum continue to be comfortable until the end and enabled a hospital admission to be avoided. The nursing staff are extremely good. They predicted Mum's needs, proactively sought medical and other interventions and provided the advice and support I needed. Similarly, the manager was helpful and kind. My family and I were always welcomed into the home. I was able to spend lots of time there. Although Mum couldn't benefit much, as she was too ill, I was impressed by the entertainment officer. She was fully engaged with residents."

"The care received by Cheverton Lodge over the last 4 months of my dad's life was exceptional. The management have an open door policy and are very pleased to chat through care options. They are also very informed on how the relative is and how they have been engaging. My dad chose not to engage with activities for whatever reason. The food was good and the principle carers for my dad so helpful. I feel we developed real friendships with the staff team. The medical staff were proactive and involved medical experts where required. Thank you Cheverton, I feel we gave Dad the best for the end of his life!"

"From the initial home tour/visit and throughout my mother's stay everyone I have come in contact with (management, reception, nurses, carers, doctors, palliative care and other ancillary staff) has been professional, polite, caring and willing to go the extra mile to help support both her and our family. The home itself is well laid out with little extras for those mobile enough to get to the dining area and communal room and enjoy occasional entertainment. The food is nicer than both hospice and hospital offerings and the staff are happy to help residents eat if no family members to hand."

"My sister spent nearly five years at Cheverton Lodge until her death in January 2023. At first, she found it difficult to adapt as she had been transferred from another home which was closing down and she missed the routines she had grown used to. I was impressed with the way the staff at Cheverton gradually managed to gain her trust and she soon developed a good relationship with them. I felt confident that the nursing team provided my sister with the best possible support for her multiple illnesses while the cheerful and kind care created a warm and sociable atmosphere. There were a lot of activities for residents who were mobile or active enough to participate which made a lively and welcoming impression. Any complaints - and there were a few - were taken seriously and dealt with quickly. Overall, I would recommend Cheverton Lodge."

"In September 2022, our family faced the inevitable task of finding a care home for a family member, luckily we were made aware of Cheverton Lodge Care Home. On arrival at the appointed time, the smiling receptionist was very welcoming. On meeting the manager our faces were overcome. His professionalism was so reassuring and his caring manner and dedication put aside any reservations we had about care homes. The family member has settled in well, the staff are so caring and the atmosphere is happy. We feel very lucky to find such a caring and professional care home."

"My mother was welcomed very warmly into Cheverton Lodge in March 2023 and from the moment we arrived, the manager and the whole team made us feel like we were at home and surrounded by family. Certain members of staff, in particular, cared for us all in such an amazing way. Nothing was too much trouble (including helping us host a small celebration for my Mum’s birthday). Sadly Mum passed away after only a few weeks, and the whole team gave us amazing support at an unimaginably difficult time. We cannot adequately express our gratitude to the whole team at Cheverton Lodge for making the end of my Mum’s life peaceful and comfortable, and for the love and support, they gave our whole family. Cheverton Lodge is a very special place, and whoever takes over from the manager as general manager will have a very hard act to follow. We will remember them all with huge warmth and fondness."

"Mum was well cared for in Cheverton Lodge where she lived for nearly 21 months. The nursing and the care staff are extremely professional and always friendly and helpful. The reception staff have a much appreciated welcoming smile. The caring, kind, and compassionate care that Mum received meant a lot to her and it made her end of life journey as peaceful, calm, and pain-free as possible. A big thank you to all, in particular the excellent nursing and care staff, involved in looking after Mum. A couple of observations - perhaps it might be more beneficial for an individual resident to have consistent care, as far as possible, from a nominated staff member (rather than rotating care staff). This is because the care is of an intimate and personal nature and maintaining mutual trust and understanding between the resident and the carer is vital for the resident’s dignity and respect. Also, provision of more varied and culturally appropriate diet/food should be considered."

"Staff are friendly, helpful, our relative is always happy, clean, well shaven, his room is always clean, very happy. He has lots of activities to do in the day, always someone to talk to. Staff are supportive to us and always happy to help, it's like a little family. The care home is of a high standard, we have looked at others in the past and when we visited this one, we knew straight away this was perfect. They have a lovely garden, cafe part, can't fault this care home, we're lucky we found Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home. We would recommend to others."

My mother visits him several times a week and is always welcomed and treated with respect. The standards of cleanliness are high and he even enjoys the food and used to be a fussy eater! We have no hesitation in recommending Cheverton."

"My father moved to Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home this week. So far, I am delighted with the care and support my father has received. The manager was extremely warm and welcoming and made me feel at ease upon arrival, he has a warm, human and friendly approach. Overall, my experience has been excellent and most importantly, the staff had made my father feel comfortable and happy. In addition, I mentioned that my father does not like drinking plain water - the next day, the carer had put orange squash in his jug instead. Thank you all. P.S. I have noticed a positive impact on my father's well-being since switching care homes to Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home - the manager is amazing and always checks in with me."
