About Chestnut Lodge Nursing Home
Chestnut Lodge Nursing Home is a nursing home in Stockton On Tees. We care for older people and younger adults who need nursing support, and we also offer respite stays for people who need care for a shorter period. Having registered nurses on the team means that clinical needs are met here, and that when somebody's health changes we can respond without them being moved elsewhere. Around that clinical care sits everything else that makes up a day: meals people actually want to eat, company for those who want it, quiet for those who do not, and staff who know the person and not only the care plan. We would rather be honest with you about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have taken the findings seriously and are working through them, with closer attention to how care is planned, recorded, reviewed and checked, and to how quickly concerns are raised and acted upon. We think you are entitled to hear that from us directly rather than discover it elsewhere. If you are considering nursing care in this area, please come and see the home, meet the team and ask us what has changed and what we still have to do.
