What people say about Charing House

Highlighting top-rated reviews
StarStarStarStarStar

During her time at Charing House, my mother experienced an extraordinary level of kindness and compassion from the exceptional staff. Her room featured a large window that provided a view of the park. It was generously sized and included her own private toilet and wash area, which gave her a sense of comfort and independence. We cherished the moments spent wheeling her out to the park to enjoy the fresh air. On drizzly days, we would retreat to a charming communal room located upstairs. This cosy haven also offered a view of the park, where she could sip her tea and enjoy watching the dogs running around the park. The staff adjusted my mother's care to meet her evolving needs, allowing her end-of-life care to be managed peacefully and compassionately.
