Reviews for Cheverton Lodge Care Home

"A Valentine's Day lunch was organised by the care home and it was excellent. A special mention must go to our host, the activities coordinator. Nothing was too much trouble and it was a memorable occasion for Mum, friends and family. Thanks again."

"My elderly sister has just become a resident at Cheverton Lodge and four days after Christmas, she celebrated her 84th birthday at a lunch party for family and friends hosted by the care home in one of its elegant, intimate, dining rooms. The food was delicious and much enjoyed by all in a very relaxed atmosphere. We hope this will be a sign of things to come for my sister as she adapts to full-time care."

"I assisted my sister-in-law to move to this care home in 2015. It had been recommended by one of my carers at her home. My sister-in-law's care has been fantastic and she settled and I think was happy here. During the pandemic, the precautions were excellent and there was plenty of information from Barchester. Also, a lot of the staff got to know her over the years. Thank you for looking after my sister-in-law so well."

"It was a difficult decision to place my dad in a care home, but there was no other choice. Once we arrived at Cheverton Lodge, from reception to first-floor staff, everyone was so kind and welcoming. He had first-class care the whole time, his needs were attended to the whole time, and I could see that my dad was comfortable, eating well and kept clean. I would highly recommend. We had an amazing experience!"

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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 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 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."

"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."

"We urgently needed somewhere for an elderly member of our family who lives alone to go when she was to be discharged from hospital on Christmas Eve. She had had a number of falls, and the family were increasingly worried about her being on her own in her much-loved house. The management of Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home was extremely helpful and made things very easy for us. As far as we were concerned, it was the ideal solution. Our family member now needs full-time care, which she receives to a high standard and we have been spared perennial anxiety about her safety. Barchester Cheverton Lodge Care Home is cautiously opening up to visitors again, which makes a huge difference to the prospects for 2021."

"On the occasion of my aunt's 90th birthday, I checked with the Cheverton Lodge that what I was sending could be received in Covid-19 times. I was assured that it would be and that the home would take care of a cake for my aunt. I also asked if I could connect via skype to take part in the celebrations. Again, this was made very easy with contact details and a time sent through. On my aunt's birthday, the skype call was answered promptly and the tablet was taken to my aunt's room so I and my mother (aunt's sister) could see her and chat with her. Carer's then brought in a cake complete with candles and we heard the lovely way the carers were talking to my aunt and celebrating with 'the birthday girl'. Whilst we couldn't be there we hope it broke up my aunt's day a bit and we felt both reassured of her care and grateful to have been able to take part in the celebration."

"An outstanding feature which I was pleased to observe was that the staff at Cheverton Lodge treated the residents, regardless of their condition, their physical or mental capacity, with dignity and respect. In addition, I felt that I and my sister-in-law's other relatives were made to feel welcome, and most of the time we were consulted in relation to any issues or any proposed changes to her care. The premises are welcoming, well maintained and clean. My few samples of the food suggest that residents could enjoy well-cooked meals and delicious cakes. We were particularly pleased when very soon after it became too cold for outdoor visits, Cheverton created perfect indoor visiting arrangements that met the full lockdown safe-distance requirements, enabling both the resident and the visitor to be comfortable and able to communicate easily and without the need for face masks. Our last visits were among our very best."

"My mum was admitted to Cheverton Lodge at the beginning of August 2020 (in the midst of the Covid19). Right from the initial phone call with the manager, through her admission and the 3.5 months that my mum spent at Cheverton before she passed away recently, the team at Cheverton provided me with a comforting reassurance that my mum was well taken care of, especially when I was not able to see her during the lockdown. The team at Cheverton treated her with respect and kindness. The staff are always pleasant and they go about caring for their elderly residents with warm hearts and great big smiles. The home is well managed, maintained and has a lovely homely decor and atmosphere, I would highly recommend Cheverton Lodge."

"My husband has been cared for in Cheverton Lodge for the past couple of years now and I and all the family have nothing but good things to say in review of this care home. At first, we had many apprehensions about placing our loved one in a care home as many of them have a not so shining reputation. We feel a big factor in this to be that the home seems to use the same care staff all the time without the use of agency staff. Thus providing familiar faces that the residents get used to. We are very happy with this care home."

Staff are valued and this shows by the way they treat the residents. The staff provide very good care for all residents including my father who needs a lot of care and patience. The home is presently handling the Coronavirus pandemic very well. The home like the rest of the care Group had a plan in place long before the government lockdown. The home is following government advice and procedure. So far, none of Cheverton Lodge's residents or staff has become ill and hopefully, it will remain this way. Relatives of residents are able to keep in touch via video calls which Cheverton Lodge quickly set up. Relatives can also telephone their love ones. At this present time, I think the home is doing all it can to bring itself safely through this pandemic."

"Prior to my father moving into Cheverton Lodge, he had virtually stopped eating and was very depressed. To date, he is eating and smiling and seems very happy and comfortable in his new home. Thanks to all the staff at Cheverton Lodge. You are all amazing."

"The only downside was the size of my mam's room. Too small. The staff extended their support to my mum's immediate family during her end of days. The food was good and plentiful."

"I visited my mother on 13th July. Normally her washing from Wednesday/Thursday is returned to Mum on Friday morning. When my brother visited on Sunday 15th there were no clothes in the room. He was told that there was a problem in the laundry room. On Monday I had to go to the shops to buy Mum more clothes. On Tuesday morning none of the clothes in the laundry had still been returned to her room!"

"My husband was resident from last March. Unfortunately, he died November 2017. During the time he was there he was always happy, enjoyed the meals. He always looked clean and cared for. All the staff were kind, efficient and polite on all occasions. They were always kind to me and provided tea and refreshments on every occasion I visited. I was content that he ended his last days there at Cheverton."

"My father was at Cheverton Lodge for some four years. No care home can ever be perfect so my primary focus is the warmth and love shown to my dad throughout. He truly felt cared for and I was too. He was on the second floor and I would have to give a special mention to the nursing staff and the night staff (nurses and carers) who made his stay, until he died on 19th of September, as comfortable as possible. I would like to say thank you!"

"We found Cheverton Lodge care home to be excellent. The environment was pleasant upbeat and stimulating. The staff go over and beyond what they can be expected to do to ensure residents are comfortable, happy and have a voice. We consider ourselves very happy that our lovely mum had the opportunity to end her days in such a lovely place. We could not have asked for more. Thank you. I would recommend this care home without reservation. This home should be held up as a beacon of what a very good quality care home looks like."

"My sister-in-law was previously very independent and did not settle at first but the staff are very kind, hard working and caring. She now seems to feel at home a lot of the time, though has periods of sadness, possibly partly due to her previous stroke. Cheverton Lodge feels homely and friendly. My sister-in-law likes to join in with the social activities but can choose not to. Her care is very good. It is a relatively small-medium home and the rooms aren't large. Ensuite toilets and basin but no shower."

"All of the staff especially the nursing staff on the second floor have been exemplary. The quality of care and the kindness to both my aunt and the rest of my family has been exceptional. The standards of cleanliness, quality of food and attention to detail surpassed my expectations and compare very favourably to every other care home I have visited."

"Staff are always pleasant and friendly. My mum appears peaceful every time I visit. My mum is unable to take part in any of the residents activities, but her door is always open and staff check on her regularly so I do not feel that she is isolated. She is bedridden. I spoke to the nurse about changing mums food from mash to puree and she said she would refer her to the specialist. The manager agreed to action this straight away, since mum was not eating as well and having difficulty swallowing."

"The nursing care is very good. The nurses are knowledgeable, professional and understanding. Meals and mealtimes can be a problem if you are diabetic, my diet has been difficult to manage. My blood sugar levels are closely monitored twice a day and I select sugar free food wherever possible."

He loved going into the garden on his scooter, the outings and entertainment provided by Cheverton, also with your care, all these things helped to make such a vast difference to his quality of life. Thank you for the support and welcome you always gave to his family."
