The staff have been amazing. So kind, caring and make everything feel like family for my Nan. We as a family, have got to know the staff, which makes us feel more comfortable.

respect and excellent care

Since mum went into 'Willows' with Alzheimer's, she's had excellent care from all staff.
It's always clean and fresh, and a relief to know she's safe and well cared for.
We are able to visit at any time of the day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I researched thoroughly and then visited many care homes in the area for my 92 year old mother before deciding Willow Tree Lodge was the best around. My mother and I cannot praise the home and staff enough. The care my mother receives is second to none in my opinion. The staff deliberately make it
feel like home and there is nothing that is too much trouble when looking after the residents. In fact, I truly believe that if it wasn't for the vigilance as well as the care she receives, my mother would not be here today. Not only do the manager and staff listen to the residents and meet their needs, they are completely open to listening to relatives too, and act in the best interests of those in their care. I think it says it all when my mother (who is now 94) had a recent spell in hospital and all I heard when visiting was "I want to go home" (referring to Willow Tree Lodge)!
I do not hesitate to recommend Willow Tree Lodge for care of the elderly.
Reply from Hannah Dear, Manager at Willow Tree Lodge

Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. We are truly touched to hear that your mum feels at home with us - that is exactly what we strive for every day. Our team takes great pride in providing attentive, compassionate care, and it means a lot to know that our vigilance has made such a difference for your mum's wellbeing. We feel privileged to be part of her journey, and we will continue to do everything we can to support her and your family.

My family and I are so happy we chose Willow Tree for Mum. In our opinion, it is second to none. The staff, whether carers, caterers, cleaners and all others, are kindness itself. Nothing is ever too much trouble and always with a smile. Residents always seem happy and content with plenty of activities
to occupy their time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a decline at home following Covid, isolation and early dementia, my mum's health worsened in hospital in 2024. I visited several homes, but Willow Tree just felt right - warm, calm and welcoming. From day one, staff said, "This is her home, and it's a privilege to care for her." And they meant
it. Mum is a quiet, private lady, and the team include her gently, never overwhelming her. She's made great friends, chats with staff, and recently staff took Mum to Fareham to play table tennis and have coffee - table tennis she hadn't played since before Covid.


Food is excellent, with fresh choices and homemade cakes. Activities, trips to pubs and garden centres, and community links all add meaning to Mum's days. As someone who's worked in care, I know outstanding care when I see it - and Willow Tree delivers it. With 30 beds, it's homely yet professional. Mum is safe, happy, and thriving - and visiting her lifts my spirits too.

I have found all staff to be welcoming, friendly and helpful. They have coped with my husband's dietary needs well, his quirks and mannerisms with discretion and he seems to enjoy being there at Kiln Lodge. I am delighted always to find staff present in the lounge with residents. The building appears
to be well maintained and always clean. It is a pity that residents cannot go down to the garden for safety reasons and that at times the car park seems inadequate. Perhaps in future a remedy will be found.

Thank you so much for your review. We will be looking to open up the second part of the garden in the future with better access.

My family and I wish to give our sincere thanks for the care and kindness given to my wife as a resident in Kiln Lodge care home. although my wife suffered with Alzheimer's disease the staff loved her as their own mother, They made sure my wife was part of their family she was happy there. My wife sadly
passed away on the 8th February 2025 but the staff still showed their love for her, and gave me, my family care tender kindness in my wife's last moments.
In her last two months of my wife's life she was in hospital due to having two strokes, on her return from hospital she had lost 10kg in weight. Kiln Lodge staff were determine to ensure my wife got back to her normal weight and back to her dancing again as she always did. She loved all the ladies that were her care's and it was obvious they love her, always, cuddling her ensuring she was always clean and dressed smart, it was her happy place her home.
Kiln Lodge is an amazing place, the caring staff treat residents as their family.

My husband is well looked after, and following a couple of days in hospital is now back to his usual self. The staff at Kiln Lodge are lovely and look after him with great care and love. Kiln Lodge is a lovely home, caring for some difficult residents. I have every confidence in the staff and all that

The food is good, all home prepared, and the bedrooms, home, and laundry are all clean and well managed. I'm so pleased that I found Kiln Lodge and recommend it with every confidence.

I am so happy with the care that Dad receives at Kiln Lodge. He was very reluctant to attend Daycare sessions but quickly settled in because carers took the time to get to know him. He easily transitioned to full-time care and he is very happy in his room with his own things around him. All the staff
are very friendly and kind to Dad. He has spent his life telling us, his girls, to be kind and it is lovely to see him receiving kindness in return. It is great to be able to visit him and to bring his great-grandchildren along sometimes. They are also always made to feel very welcome and they love visiting great grandad in his special house! Many thanks to all the lovely people in Kiln Lodge. You do an amazing job!!

When the tough realisation dawned, that Mum needed to go into a care home, I was very worried about it, and rejected many homes before I finally viewed Willow Tree Lodge. I knew the instant I walked in that I had found the right home for Mum - the staff team were so friendly, warm and kind, and engaging
with the people they cared for and their families. The atmosphere so welcoming, caring, and above all happy residents. The home is modern, safe and security conscious, well maintained, homely with lovely interiors, spotlessly clean and fresh. Before my mum sadly passed away, the team brought much laughter and happiness back into Mum's life, and made her feel extremely loved and well cared for. To see Mum smiling took a huge weight off my shoulders and I was able to become my mum's daughter again rather than her carer. The whole willow team, are truly outstanding, the home and its gardens superb - Willow is second to none, and I recommend it without any hesitation or reservation - it's amazing!

Dad has been at Willow Tree for a year and a half. All staff are friendly, kind and very caring, both to Dad and to us. They have always kept us informed of any little issues with Dad and are quick to respond to questions. Care is person-centred with dad always treated as a person with a history. Although
he struggles to communicate, staff talk to him about his former interests and share a laugh with him. Thank you to everyone at Willow Tree!

My mum was a resident at Kiln Lodge for the last 18 months. She has recently died but I would like to thank the team for the wonderful care she received there. They took Mum in at very short notice when things at home became too difficult. Although Mum could be quite challenging at times she was always
treated with care and compassion. She would join in with activities - cooking, gardening, exercise groups to name only a few. The carers took time to get to know Mum and her ways. They had the skills to know when to retreat and try again later if care was needed so as not to agitate her more than neccessary. Her end-of-life care was outstanding. She was treated with great dignity and respect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kiln Lodge to anyone, especially for dementia care. Thank you to the manager and team.

Mum was unable to look after herself and needed to be taken care of. When she was first there for a few weeks she didn’t want to leave her room, but with encouragement and the patience of the staff she has come out of her shell and loves joining the residents and taking part in the activities happening
in the care home. Kiln Lodge has exceeded our expectations in every way, cannot thank them enough for the way they look after her. I would recommend Kiln Lodge to anyone who is looking for excellent care for a loved one.
