“I enjoy convalescence.
It is the part that makes illnesses worth while”
George Bernard Shaw
Chilton House provides convalescent facilities to ease and accelerate the recovery process, hopefully resulting in a quicker and safer return to independence. We have many years’ experience of caring for post-operative patients discharged from hospital with particular expertise for those recovering from Orthopaedic procedures, Cardiac investigations, strokes and General Surgery.
Care Pathway
A highly detailed assessment process during the first 24 hours after arrival looks at the requirements for returning home. This provides the plan for a clear pathway to success. A thorough liaison with the hospitals’ consultants and physiotherapists ensures that on admission we have all the necessary relevant medical information.
A professional approach to individual nursing care is made possible by the high ratio of staff to patient. This staffing structure reflects the philosophy that staff have ‘Time to Care’. A Registered Nurse is on duty 24 hours a day assisted by a team of Nursing Auxileries. The local GP practice is always on call.
Chilton House recognises that physiotherapy plays a crucial part in the recovery process. Our experienced in-house team of physiotherapists are all MCSP qualified and are available 7 days a week. Nursing staff support this programme with follow up exercises. An optional “out patient” physiotherapy clinic offers the opportunity for continuing the recovery process once the patient returns home.
I cannot recommend Chilton House highly enough. I had a short stay there after some major surgery and I am sure it was the key to being able to get on my feet again with no problems.

During the last year I have twice taken advantage of the service provided by Chilton House following two hip replacements. I attribute my excellent recovery to the good start I was given at Chilton House.
