Kingfishers
from R H (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Realising your loved one can no longer live independently in their own home is a harsh reality and so many emotions are laid bare for all. There are anxieties and questions, doubts and tears. So, to be welcomed into Kingfishers, filled with positivity and friendly faces, staff who are never too busy

to listen, and who treat you and your love one with kindness and respect, has been honestly just such a relief. Mum has a beautifully light appointed room, which is always spotlessly clean, and a list of relatable activities should she wish to leave the comfort of it. Family who have visited have nothing but praise either. Thank you!

Reply from Zoe Mills, Home Manager at KingfishersThank you for sharing your experience. We're so pleased your mum feels comfortable and well cared for at Kingfishers, and that our team's kindness and support have helped bring some reassurance to you and your family. Your feedback means a great deal to everyone here.

Review of
Court Lodge
from L R (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother spent the last three years of her life at Court Lodge, and I am deeply grateful for the kindness and care she received there. Over time we got to know so many of the staff, and it was clear how much affection they had for her. The companionship team, carers, nurses and all the staff - including

cleaners, catering, admin, management and reception - treated her with warmth, dignity and patience.
As a family, we always felt she was safe, comfortable and truly cared for. The compassion shown in her final days meant more to us than we can say. We will always be thankful for the comfort and support they provided.

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court LodgeThank you for sharing this, and please accept our sincere condolences. We're honoured to have cared for your mother and to know you feel she was treated with such warmth, dignity, and compassion throughout her time at Court Lodge.

St Catherines View
from Kash F (Son of Resident) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum was in the care home for nearly 4 years. Throughout that time, from bringing Mum in, the paperwork, the love and care, attention to detail, the regular check-ins, the monthly updates, the health monitoring, the visiting at a time that suited us... all was handled with compassion and empathy. Vanda

Baker is the Manager and the staff are brilliant under her guidance. The facilities are excellent and it really is the staff that make this place. Activities are many and varied with regular supervised trips out. The magazine is brilliant and they make a point of featuring everyone during the year to give the families and friends something to look out for. They really do care. This is the sort of place you wish for to give your loved ones a beautiful place to have their final years. It's not the cheapest place and it is great value for money based on the care taken. I would recommend this Care home to anyone.

Reply from Vanda Baker, Home Manager at St Catherines ViewThank you for sharing such lovely feedback. We're honoured to have cared for your mum and to know you felt supported throughout her time with us. Your kind words about the team, leadership, and the care taken to keep families connected mean a great deal to everyone here.

from Alison C (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I cannot fault the care that my mother has received on her dementia journey over the 8 1/2 years that she has been in Colten Care Homes. I am so glad that she came to Winchester to live near us, and enjoyed the social life at St Cats. The energy, dedication and patience shown by all the staff without

exception is remarkable, and now as she ends her dementia journey I have a sense of calm and peace descending over her and us. Thank you everyone for all you have done and continue to do for those with dementia.

Reply from Vanda Baker, Home Manager at St Catherines ViewThank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback. We're honoured to have supported your mother at St Catherines View and to know you feel she has been surrounded by understanding, patience, and care. Your words mean a great deal to the whole team.

from P S (Respite Resident) published on 17 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I injured my leg and needed respite care while it healed - it had become infected. I had a wonderful welcome (even a welcome notice in the care park) and was impressed immediately by the reception staff. The comfort and attention, food and whole experience has been wonderful - kind and thoughtful -

I am going home soon, feeling rested + relaxed with my leg healed. A memorable experience. Comfort + decor a1! Thank you Belmore.

Reply from Janie Wilkins, Home Manager at Belmore LodgeThank you for your thoughtful review. We're so pleased your respite stay at Belmore Lodge felt welcoming and restorative, and that the team, surroundings, and care helped you recover comfortably.

Belmore Lodge
from Martin C (Brother of Resident) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My sister was a resident at Belmore Lodge for eleven months, sadly requiring round the clock nursing care for her terminal illness. The nursing care my sister received was exemplary. Every member of staff was always friendly, caring and courteous to both her and myself, nothing was too much trouble

for any of them. My sister mentioned to me frequently during her care, that she had come to regard many of the staff as her new friends! Sadly my sister has now passed on, and on the odd occasion I have visited Belmore Lodge since for whatever reason, the staff are still very friendly and courteous to me.
If one day in the future, sadly I require some form of care, my first enquiry will be placed at Belmore Lodge, I very much doubt I will need to enquire elsewhere!!

Reply from Janie Wilkins, Home Manager at Belmore LodgeThank you for sharing your heartfelt feedback regarding Belmore Lodge. We are deeply sorry for your loss and are truly touched by your kind words about the care your sister received. It means so much to know she felt supported and cared for, and that our team could also offer comfort to you during that time. Your trust and recommendation mean a great deal to everyone.

The care my relative received was outstanding from my first contact with the home to the exceptional care delivered until the end.

from S S (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Have nothing but praise for the team at St Catherine's View. Mum was admitted in January 2025 due to her advanced dementia. We looked after mum at home until we could no longer cope with her challenging behaviour but the team there do a fantastic job and mum seems quite settled.

She does not join

in any activities so I am unable to comment on them.

Reply from Vanda Baker, Home Manager at St Catherines ViewThank you for sharing your experience. We know how difficult it can be to make the decision to move a loved one into care, so it's wonderful to hear your mum is settled and that you feel supported by the team.

from Christine D (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The decision to move dad into a care home to support his late stage dementia was a difficult one, the choice of home however is something we have never regretted. It was important to us for dad to be in a specialist dementia facility where his condition and needs would be understood.

We are so grateful

to all the staff at St Catherines View and the exceptional care dad received there. Visiting dad often we could see how well dad was supported and cared for. The nursing and care staff were excellent, extending that kindness to us too.

Reply from Vanda Baker, Home Manager at St Catherines ViewWe understand how important it is for families to feel their loved one is truly understood and cared for, and it's wonderful to know you felt supported and reassured during your dad's time with us at St Catherines View.
