I would like to say how lovely all the staff have been in Barry Wing with GB's move to Charing House. Everyone is friendly & approachable & I have never at any stage been made to feel that I am a nuisance with my worries & enquiries. GB has many complex issues & I know that transferring GB & getting used to her ways & needs is not easy. What I have loved is they are not too proud to talk to me & ask me questions or ask where to go to get the answers, which feels me full of confidence that they will find the answers if they do not have them yet. I have been able to bring all GB's furniture & general 'stuff' so that her room is set up nice for her needs & comfort. Also that she has some familiar bits around her. The home is beautifully decorated & well cared for. Management approachable & friendly. The care staff stick around because of this & one thing that lets you know all is as well as can be, is staff that are happy to stay in their jobs. Jenny (member of staff) is especially lovely & said 'that she would look after GB like she was her own'. I cannot ask for any more from someone.

Charing House is set in a great location, overlooking Gillingham Park which is easily accessible for its residents. Our service user was the first to join the LD nursing wing after being in a hospital environment for approx. 12 years. The management at Charing House, and staff on the Barry Hodgman wing consistently work in a person-centred manner and did their best to ensure a smooth transition for this individual, avoiding what could have been a destabilising time for him. The staff strive to improve each individual's quality of life and the residents currently on the wing appear happy and content.

The staff at Charing House are very friendly professional welcoming and polite. The care and safety of the residents is their top priority and is a care home where everyone is treated with dignity and compassion. The food is good and there is always a choice of what to eat.

For anyone looking for a care home for their friend or relative, I would strongly recommend Charing House.

Since my mother moved into Charing House she has been treated with respect and love at all times. There is a positive culture at the home, the staff are lovely and always make time to chat with her.

My father has been well looked after at Charing House.

The staff are dedicated, friendly, attentive and the home has a great atmosphere, you can see the staff genuinely care. I couldn’t have asked for a better care home for him.

My brother was in Charing House. He was discharged from hospital in a very poorly state. Charing House was amazing, so, so caring, kind and extremely lovely. They cared for my brother to the end of his life. I am truly grateful to all the staff. I will never forget the care and love they gave my brother for the two weeks he was there. Thank you, Charing House.

My mother has been at Charing House since August 2017. The staff and management have always been supportive, not only to my Mother but to family members too. Mum has received excellent care and I am kept informed of any health or other issues during this difficult time. I could not have asked for a better care home for Mum.

My mother has been at Charing House for a while now. I am really happy with the care Mum receives. Mum always looks happy and healthy so I really can’t ask for anymore. Charing House built a pagoda earlier in the year and last time I was there I saw Mum and all the residents outside under the pagoda, while there was a singer there performing to them all. It is such a great thing for them to have built and has certainly been very good throughout Covid-19 as they are continuing with these special activities that I know my Mum enjoys.

The level of care the staff give to the residents is exceptional. The staff are always welcoming, compassionate and respectful towards my Mum and other residents. It gives me peace of mind knowing my Mum is being so well cared for. She is happy, well looked after and her room is spacious and clean, I couldn’t ask for more. Would highly recommend Charing House to anyone looking for a care home.

During the current climate, all I can say is a very big thank you for taking such great care over my sister. She always, when I spoke to her, seemed happy with the care she received. When I had concerns and worries I was always able to speak with staff nurses and admin regularly and if not available they would phone me back. Her key worker also put my mind at rest. It has been difficult with her loss but staff come out to wave her farewell.

The staff at Charing House Care & Nursing Home are great, they treat my Mum as they would their own. I go about my day knowing that she is being well cared for. The home is maintained to a good standard and there are no offensive smells.

This is an excellent home. The home is beautifully decorated throughout and has a homely feel to it from the moment you walk through the front door. The staff are great if ever I have any questions about my Dad's care, medication etc someone is always there to help. Thank you, everyone, at Charing House.

I found Charing House excellent. Very caring staff and lovely and clean. Would recommend to anyone.

I cannot praise this home enough. My mother was there for seven years so it is not a snap decision. She exceptionally well cared for every day. The home organised trips and activities for the able and visiting activities for the less able. The home is always very clean and tidy. The food is very good. The staff are always eager to please very caring. We found this home by chance and we count our blessings every day.

I have been pleased with how C/H has swiftly helped in the transition of Hospital to nursing home and the standard of care given to my mother.The staff and nurses, including the carers the kitchen staff, cleaners and laundry staff have helped in providing a high level of work ethic and respect surrounding my mother's needs. I cannot thank you enough for allowing the rest of the family to be engaged on a daily basis with my mother, thank you.

I can't speak highly enough of Charing House. Firstly it's a beautiful building, very clean, warm and well furnished. Secondly, the care provided is exceptional. In these days of negative reports and concerns about care homes, I feel lucky to have found a place for my Mum at Charing House. She was happy there and was extremely well cared for. The staff treated her with respect and dignity and always took her preferences into account when entering her room. I have been kept well informed of her well being especially towards the end of her days.

The present team on the George Smith are efficient, work well together, caring and my wife responds to them. Overall I am very pleased with my wife's care. The activity team are introducing new ideas.

Mum was only in Charing House for a few weeks for end of life care. She was looked after so well. Staff were kind and efficient on the occasions I saw them interact with mum. The home is lovely, beautifully laid out and the rooms very pleasant and peaceful. Senior staff always had time to update on mum's condition. A good, comfortable place to end her days.

Mum moved into the home in February 2012 until she passed away on 22 May 2018. She was always treated with kindness and dignity even at the very end. The management and carers provided an excellent service during her stay.

We feel that the home we have chosen is a very well kept and maintained home. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Management is very approachable and nothing is too much trouble.

All the staff are excellent. They are kind, compassionate and professional. They cared for my dad right up to the very end and even after he died (last night).

We would like to thank you and your team on the nursing wing for the care and respect that you provided to our father for the short time he was with you. Your team were exemplary in the level of tenderness that they showed him and professionalism in the way in which they went about their duties.

I wanted to write and thank you and all your staff at Charing House Care Home for the care that you gave to my Mum, while she was with you. I know you all made her as comfortable as possible.

My mother was extremely well cared for during her three years in nursing care in Charing House. Everyone did their very best to address her needs and I will always be grateful for the care she received. Thank you to everyone - you looked after Mum really well.

Our Dads home was Charing House, Gillingham for the last 3 years of his life. He was not only cared for but he was loved by the members of staff as though they were his own family. Each time we took him out for days, upon return, he would always comment "I Love It Here". The meals and snacks are varied and of an exceptionally high standard, we know this as we have always been welcome to take a meal with Dad. We first introduced Dad to the home as a 5* Hotel to settle him in. This would be the same today as the food, snacks, facilities, cleanliness, hygiene and above all the Staff are of an exceptionally high standard. All of Dads family would highly recommend this home to anyone that has Dementia.

My mother was a resident at Charing House for almost 5 years during which time her family visited regularly and we were always pleased to see how well cared for and happy she was. All of the staff were pleasant and couldn't do enough for her, especially in the last weeks of her life when she was treated with the utmost dignity and respect, for which we are extremely grateful. We would highly recommend this care home.

Set in the original Municipal Buildings, Charing House is directly adjacent to Gillingham Park and therefore gives a relaxing outlook from many of the residents' rooms and also the facility for residents to be able to walk with their families around the park, if sufficiently mobile to do so. In our opinion, care is of a high standard at Charing House and we have been very happy with how our loved one is treated. We would highly recommend this care home to others seeking a clean, caring and dignified environment for their relative.
