Compton Lodge

Compton Lodge is a small care home, with a family feeling. Residents , family members and the Compton team enjoy spending time together.

All the staff are kind and respectful in this warm and friendly home. The management team work hard to ensure excellent care alongside activities for the residents. Meals are nutritious and varied. It is a fantastic care home where positive relationships between residents and the staff are evident. Medical support is provided by local NHS practitioners who ensure residents are well cared for too.

My mother was upset about leaving her much loved home. Staff made her feel quickly part of Compton lodge and she now feels that this is the place she most wants to be. She speaks of the staff as her friends and has made close and happy new friends among the residents.

Choosing a home for a loved one is hard. Compton Lodge scores top marks on what matters - my friend loves the staff who are fantastic and stay for years (a great sign of a good employer); he has a lovely room where visitors can meet as well as access to several day rooms - not just one. The garden is glorious especially in sunshine. He is well cared for in every possible way, with lots of visits from staff, good meals and regular tea and cake. Home from Home. And the staff team are kindness itself to those of us responsible for the residents.

Compton Lodge not only cared for my mother but welcomed our family as members of this warm community. And since she passed has enabled us to enjoy our memories and keep in touch with old friends as members of the Friends and Relatives Group. Thankyou!!!

While the facilities and environment are lovely, it is the dedication of the staff that makes this home exceptional.

Would highly recommend to others.

We were met by kind, gentle, helpful staff who went out of their way to support my mother in settling in. They are always responsive and communicative about any issues raised, and work hard to establish a great rapport and relationship with her.

My grandma has been a resident for nearly two years. She is 98 years old and has dementia. At home, she had taken to spending her days in bed, but here at the Compton Lodge, she is up every day, dressed and downstairs with other residents. The staff are friendly and caring. The food looks very nice, especially on Sundays. Some of the rooms are fabulous with direct access to the beautiful gardens. Even the location near Primrose Hill is very nice as we can visit and then go for a walk afterwards. At Compton Lodge, they put on quite a lot of events to keep residents entertained. Dementia isn't easy to cope with, but they do a very good job. The home may not be the most modern, but it has a unique and charming character that makes it feel special.

Every effort has been made to welcome and accommodate her and enable her to settle into the new environment and routine. She finds the staff to be kind and caring and any problems have been sorted promptly. As her nearest relative, I have always been kept informed of what is happening and am consistently reassured that she is in the best possible hands.

Sympathetic and kindly care despite at times seemingly rushed off their feet. Sometimes it can take time to resolve some issues but one can understand the pressures. My brother is well situated on the landing during the day.

Overall, I highly recommend Compton Lodge and am very grateful to all the staff for how well they look after my father.

It’s important to realise that everything in life changes and there’s no end to it and it’s important to have an open and receptive mind.

Compton Lodge is a very good care home. All the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and professional, and have gone out of their way to make my dad feel comfortable since he moved in October 2022. 5 stars.

My aunt is very happy at Compton Lodge - comfortable rooms, friendly, chatty, professional staff, have a nice laugh and a joke with my aunt too. It is a very nice room the house as a whole feels friendly and busy and is kept very well. It was very Christmassy and welcoming in December with all the decorations out. They are always really thoughtful too eg they have framed a picture of hers to put on the wall in the art room, they have lots of art books which my aunt really likes as she is still doing a lot of art. I am kept well in touch with things as needed.

My mother moved in June 22 aged 99 after becoming less mobile and requiring more than one carer. She was shown a great deal of respect and assistance whilst at Comp Lodge. The home provided all items required for her time there and the chef provided high-quality meals. Moving a parent at this stage of life was very daunting but I am glad I did.

My mother has been in the home since July 2021 and is just over 100 years old. I chose the home because it seemed very friendly and homely even during all the challenges of the Covid period when the staff had to be so vigilant in keeping their residents safe. Although my mother spends most of her time in bed, she is content and has good relationships with the staff. There is a nice atmosphere in the house and the staff have always been responsive to any queries I have had. The house has recently been decorated and the garden is lovely so residents can sit outside in the summer. The staff are very personable and have a good rapport with the residents. I am happy with the choice I made.

My mother was at Compton Lodge for six months before she died in November 2022. She and I were made welcome from the first moment we stepped through the doors. When I had concerns they were always addressed quickly, efficiently and with sensitivity. I was never made to feel that my comments were trivial. On her arrival, one of the first people to visit us was the chef who immediately understood the eating difficulties that she had. He also got in specific foods that we knew she would be able to enjoy. In my mother's last two weeks, her care was exemplary and all of the staff's kindness to me was so appreciated. If I could give six stars for my mother's last week I would. In my opinion, the running of any "business" comes from the top and the warmth and efficiency from the manager of Compton Lodge and the team leaders trickle down to all of the staff. I will always remember those last two weeks with affection. They looked after me as well as she and I couldn't have asked for more.

Well done to all the staff.

My mother has been a resident at Compton Lodge Care Home since August 2021. She had been living at home with full-time care for her dementia and it took a long time for us to decide on the move, not least because of the Covid-19 situation. From the day she arrived, my mother has been happy and comfortable. The atmosphere at Compton Lodge is so caring and enjoyable that I regret that she was not able to benefit from it earlier. The nature of the place - more like a slightly eccentric mansion than a care home - makes it stimulating and less institutional than other homes I have visited. I see my mother often and am struck by the unfailingly loving attitudes of the staff. It feels like nothing is too much trouble. Working in healthcare myself, I believe that this must be the result of an organisational culture that runs from top to bottom. The leadership at Compton Lodge transmit vast experience: they never seem to sweat the small stuff, while at the same time ensuring the health of the residents.
