Chestnut Manor Care Home Receives 11 Blessings
Westgate Healthcare’s newest luxury care home, Chestnut Manor Care Home,
received eleven blessings when opening its doors to the public in September last year.
Wanstead is a bustling town filled with great local
amenities and a strong sense of community, but
it is now home to eleven Ursuline nuns who have
created a vibrant and flourishing home in their
latest residence, Chestnut Manor Care Home.
The Sisters have an incredible history dating back
over 400 years, stemming from Desenzano in Italy.
Founder, Angela Merici, chose to put her company
under the patronage of St Ursuline, an early English
saint who was known as the patroness of learning
led by Angela’s interest for the development and
fulfilment of women. The ethos of the Ursulines is
that hard work and prayer go hand in hand, and
their desire is to bring Christ to the world.
Fernanda Perini, Activities Coordinator at Chestnut
Manor Care Home, said: “Our residents have so
many exciting activities to enjoy such as creating
decorations for internal events, letter writing to
stay connected with the Wanstead community,
local trips, in-house entertainment, Westgate
Healthcare’s Lifestyle Innovations, and much more.
It is a pleasure to work at the home and the Sisters
have been a delight, they get involved in all the
activities that we set and they encourage other
residents to get involved, too. It’s lovely to see the
care they show everyone at the home.”
Sister Anistacia, Resident of Chestnut Manor Care
Home, said: “The home is absolutely wonderful and
the facilities are excellent. We are looked after very
well and the staff are courteous at all times. We are
blessed here; we have our mass in the home three
times per week which is a bonus. The environment
is always clean and tidy and the domestic staff are
always up for a chat. The food is second to none,
everything we ask for the Chef caters to.”
Today, life looks much different for the Ursuline
Sisters as Chestnut Manor Care Home caters to
their personal and physical needs. The home offers
nursing, residential, respite and dementia care for
people over and under the age of 65 years within
its luxurious care setting.
“The Sisters have been a delight, they get
involved in all the activities that we set
and they encourage other residents to
get involved, too.”
Chestnut Manor Care Home pride themselves on
being innovators and early adopters of new ideas
and initiatives that enhance their residents’ lives.
Owned and run by Westgate Healthcare, the home
have established bespoke initiatives designed
to empower their communities and encourage
residents to embrace their passions. The home is
passioniate about taking the lead in evolving their
residents’ lifestyles by continuing to do the things
that are special to them.
Daniela Danciulescu, Care Home Manager, said:

been a lively community thanks to the arrival of our
Sisters. They have made the atmosphere electric as
