Families & Friends |  |
We strive hard to form & maintain relationships with people who are important in the lives of those who call Chilmington House their home.
Whilst we know we will never replace the family, our aim is to provide the support, friendship and guidance to each individual living at Chilmington House to enable them to live away from their family in a safe environment which upholds their dignity & maximises their ability to make their own choices in life. We achieve this in differing ways depending on the needs & wishes of Service Users.
Over the years we have received many wonderful compliments from Families; Friends; visiting professionals; Inspectors; Doctors & Volunteers. Below you will find a few of these:-
Family/Friend/Advocate Testimonials
"It is lovely to be able to see him in our own home even though it is a long journey for him & the staff. We make a weekend of it & the two staff who bring him are always very supportive of our need to see him alone but with their assistance close by." (Parents).
"He looks so well compared to the last home he lived in. We are very pleased with the move." (Parents).
"I am always made to feel welcome. In my role as Advocate I see many homes & Chilmington House always has a warm welcome. Their care of the residents is the best I have seen in my years as a volunteer." (Advocate & Befriender).
"I know that ‘C’ is always well looked after & when we see him he always looks good. The staff do a wonderful job. They have taken him to places we didn’t think was possible." (Family)
“The staff team have done a wonderful job of helping ‘J’ to recover from his surgery. Without their attention to detail, a good diet & their excellent infection control skills he could not have healed so quickly & made such a quick recovery from major surgery.” (Senior District Nurse).
“We wish to thank Martine & her team for the wonderful care they gave ‘J’ when he was in hospital, it could not have been easy!”
