About Chestnut Gardens Care Home
Chestnut Gardens Care Home is in Purley, and we provide residential care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Our aim is straightforward: this should feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere they have been put. Residents bring their own belongings, keep their own routines and decide how the day goes. We provide the help that makes that possible, with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting about, and we are careful not to take over anything somebody can still manage for themselves. Doing too much is as much a failure as doing too little. Dementia care is a large part of our work. We spend time learning each person's history, habits and the things that reassure them, because that is what allows the staff team to respond to the feeling behind a difficult moment rather than just the behaviour in front of them. A calm environment, familiar faces and a predictable rhythm do most of the rest. Respite stays get the same planning and attention as any other admission, whether they are giving a family carer a proper break or supporting someone after a spell in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, which we treat as a foundation rather than a finish. Please come and visit Chestnut Gardens if you are considering it for yourself or a relative.
