About Chestnut Grange

Chestnut Grange is a residential care home in Newark, Nottinghamshire. We support older people who need help with daily living, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, and younger adults. Respite stays are available as well. Supporting a mix of people in one house means paying proper attention to what each of them wants from the day. Some residents like company and plenty going on. Others want quiet and predictability, and to be left in peace until they choose otherwise. For autistic people especially, that predictability is a need rather than a preference, so changes are explained in advance, staffing is kept consistent where we can, and sensory comfort is taken seriously. We help with personal care, dressing, medication, meals and mobility, and we do it in a way that supports independence rather than quietly replacing it. Where somebody can still manage a task themselves, they do. Where they want to learn a new one, we help with that too. We are also interested in what people want beyond the house: work, college, hobbies, friendships and family visits. Supporting those is part of the job rather than an extra we get to when there is time. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Anyone considering Chestnut Grange, whether a relative or a professional, is welcome to visit on an ordinary day and take their time over the decision.
