Overall Experience

They have welcomed dad into their community making him feel cared for and safe. He has been a resident now just over a year and has had some challenging moments with his Parkinson's. The staff are always polite and friendly.

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court Lodge

Overall Experience

My mother moved to Court Lodge to be nearer family and for a better quality of care. She is transformed! She enjoys the activities each day and loves the outings in the mini bus; she is starting to read again and always looks forward to her meals. The warmth, care and encouragement she receives

from the staff have given her confidence to leave her room and be part of the Court Lodge community. It is a joy to see. As a visitor, I too am always greeted with warmth and friendliness, for we are all a team, ensuring my mother is safe and well cared for.
Court Lodge is well equipped, well maintained and with sensible but homely furnishings. Touches such as laying the tables for meals make residents feel they are welcome and encourage eating. The gardens are lovely and a calm space for residents to sit out at any time.

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court Lodge

It's wonderful to hear the difference Court Lodge has made for your mother. Seeing her regain confidence, reconnect with activities she enjoys, and feel part of the community is exactly what we hope for. Your words about the team and the home environment mean a great deal, and we're so pleased that visits feel just as welcoming for you too. Thank you for sharing such wonderful comments with us. I'll be sure to pass them on to the rest of the team here.

Overall Experience

I will forever be grateful to Court Lodge and their incredible staff from Accounts, Admin, Carers, Nurses, Support Staff for everything they have done to help my Mum and me during a very difficult time. The compassion, time, empathy and fun they showed us both have given us great memories during a time

that I thought I was simply mums carer and no longer her daughter.
Mum loved being there and enjoyed all the activities and food on offer.
Court lodge really did change our lives.

Overall Experience

Every aspect of my care was attended to. The meals were the highest standard varied and delicious. The activities were fun and interesting and my medical needs were carried out efficiently and expertly. The care workers themselves were so happy and this spilled over onto those being cared for, nothing

was too much bother and everything was done with a smile. It is impossible to emphasise how excellent this care home is.

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court Lodge

Overall Experience

Our mum has been a resident at Court Lodge for 5 years now and the ethos of the team has always been to create a calm, friendly, and also fun atmosphere.
Sheis currently struggling with accepting her own mental and physical deterioration. This means that she has displayed some difficult behaviour

but the compassion and understanding of all the staff, particularly under the manager's leadership, is wonderful.
Both my sister and I live a long way from the home so having total confidence that all aspects of our Mum's care is exemplary is very reassuring.
Thank you

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court Lodge

Review from Josephine G (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father was a resident for just over 3 years. His care was exceptional and he was very happy at the home. At his birthday party in November, the staff had decorated one of the lounges and many came in and sang happy birthday to him. He was taken ill on 21st December and I was informed. The ambulance

was called, but according to our wishes and a pre-arranged plan, he was not taken to hospital, but stayed within the familiar surroundings. My daughter and I sat with him Christmas Eve and Day and the staff were brilliant. It must be so hard for them encouraging other residents to enjoy the Christmas spirit, while being attentive, caring and so respectful to the dying and their relatives and it was obvious they too were affected by losing one of their family. He died peacefully early on Boxing Day and the nurses and carers were wonderful in how they looked after him and sympathised with us. He could not have wished for a more gentle end in the place he called home.

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court Lodge

Thank you for sharing such kind words about your father's time with us. It's lovely to hear how much he felt at home and how our team was able to support him, especially in his final days. We know this must have been a difficult time for you and your family, and we truly appreciate your comments about the care and compassion shown by our staff. Please know you're always welcome to visit or stay in touch, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with us.

Overall Experience

There is never anything but a warm welcome from the staff and a genuine care for their residents. Plenty of activities to get involved in daily, and always a buzz of happiness. This is the third care home my mother in law has resided in and by far the best. It's such a blessing to know she is spending

her final years in such a warm, caring place and you never feel that anything is too much trouble. The decor, the food, the cleanliness and the staff really make it a fabulous place.

Overall Experience

I cannot express enough the peace of mind and trust we as a family have in Court Lodge for looking after Mum when she comes for respite care. Not only do they care for their client, but they also care and respect their client's loved ones, always accommodating requests, excellent care, communication

and reassurance. Above all, it's the staff's exemplary standard of care and approach to clients that stands out, ensuring whilst Mum can't communicate well, she is always included and respected. Mum is greeted like a family member, and there is a warm, inviting and caring atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff who make our visits to Court Lodge feel safe, cared for and respected.

Overall Experience

Thanks for looking after my Dad so well in the last month of his life. He was happy there and felt very well looked after. The Manager was a Godsend to me. Her professionalism and warmth on a personal level, made it all much easier.
From my point of you, having cared for him myself for over a year,

it took the pressure off me completely and in fact, the nurses reminded me to take some time now for myself.
I didn't have to worry about shopping, making meals, all the doctor appointments ( as the brilliant Dr came into the home), cleaning, washing, changing beds - anything - it was priceless.
I got to be Dad's daughter again for the end of his life and Court Lodge took over everything brilliantly, stress-free, and very dignified. A special thanks to the Nurse who always kept me updated on Dad's health.
Very central to Lymington and sea.
It is decorated beautifully, stunning garden, and is one of the nicest homes I have seen.
Thanks for everything you did for my Dad.

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court Lodge

Thank you for sharing your touching feedback about your experiences at Court Lodge. We are deeply honoured to have been able to care for your dad during the last month of his life, and we are glad he felt happy and well looked after in our home. It means a lot to hear that our team was able to provide the support and care you both needed, allowing you to spend quality time together. Your kind words are greatly appreciated, and our doors are always open should you ever wish to visit us.

Overall Experience

It was a hard decision to move my mum into a care home, she was very nervous about it and unsure that she wanted to go however, the minute she walked into Court Lodge, she has been made so welcome.
Mum absolutely loves every aspect of living here, it is so homely and friendly, she tells everyone she

speaks to how lucky she is.
I am totally reassured by the regular updates from the whole team from how she has enjoyed the many activities provided to the lovely meals, she has actually put on weight since living there.
The nursing team are very proactive with regular care reviews and suggestions to keep her safe and well.
The home manager is very involved with the residents and always makes time to catch up with visitors.
One member of staff in particular, from the companion team ensures a wide range of events and activities which are inclusive for all, Mum particularly loves the minibus trips around the national park which bring back many happy memories.
Thank you to all for keeping Mum well and happy.

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court Lodge

Thank you for sharing your experiences at Court Lodge. We understand how challenging the decision can be to move into a care home, and we are very pleased to hear that your mum feels welcome and enjoys her time here.

Overall Experience

Court Lodge is a lovely, friendly and warm home. All the staff are smiling and happy and nothing that I ask for is too much trouble.
Everyone, from the home manager, ably assisted her senior team, are very hands-on with what residents needs and cares are. The nursing staff are very good at keeping

in touch with relatives and regularly reviewing a resident’s care and medical needs.
The facilities are very good and they can even accommodate special requests, such as a large room with garden access to celebrate my father’s 100th birthday last September, including a wonderful tea party and catering.
My father had tried another care home but this one is, without doubt, the best for his needs. Me, as his only child, feels very much that a great weight was lifted from my shoulders when he became a resident at Court Lodge almost a year ago.
Well done team Court Lodge and team Colten!

My mother was a resident at Court Lodge for just over 2 years and in that time I can honestly say we never had a single concern regarding her care. All the staff were caring and competent and always willing to answer any questions we had. My mother passed away in the home in September and again I cannot

fault the end of life care she received, we were always kept informed of her condition and nothing was too much trouble when we visited. I would have no hesitation in recommending Court Lodge.

Review from K N (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

After complications with heart surgery, a long stay in hospital and ongoing complex medical and physical needs, my 78-year-old father stayed at Court Lodge on two separate occasions in 2022 and 2023.
From our initial contact onwards, the team were understanding, responsive and very flexible. At a

time of uncertainty with my father’s first hospital discharge, Court Lodge was able to provide a level of comfort and support so that when the move was finally possible, they were ready to welcome him.
Having access to a safe and comfortable environment, with qualified medical support on-site, was critical for us. Although well enough to leave the hospital, his severely depleted state meant that specialist care was needed that we were not qualified to give. Court Lodge offered us the optimal ‘bridge’ to get him better placed to return home.
At such a challenging time, the CL team were ever-present with a smile and kind word, going above and beyond to help us at such a difficult time.

Overall Experience

My father is a resident of Court Lodge in Lymington and in March he was 99.
The staff helped us to organise a special surprise tea, they provided all the food and cake, decorated the room and kept it all secret.
Dad doesn’t have many friends who are still alive so having a lovely group of special

people to make such a fuss of him was really appreciated. It doesn’t feel like this is just a job for the staff. They really want to do everything they can for their residents.
They made the day quite unforgettable.

My mother has been a resident at Court Lodge Care Home for three months, following a short stay in hospital.
I cannot praise it highly enough. From the warm and friendly welcome to the care and attention she receives from all the staff. There are plenty of daily activities to keep her busy and a beautiful,

cosy room if she wishes for peace and quiet. The chef is excellent and my mother says the food is delicious. She enjoys taking her meals in the dining room at lunchtime and in her room in the evening. Communication from the management team is faultless and the staff are always cheerful and pleasant. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for residential care.

Overall Experience

My mother who had oesophageal cancer came into Court Lodge Care Home for palliative care on 25/01/2022. It was then apparent to me that I had taken too much on looking after her in her own home. The feeling I had knowing that she was safe and well looked after was overwhelming. Mum was not a mixer,

loved to chat to the staff who came to her. She was an interesting lady. Never moaned and always said thank you. Mum, despite just being on lemon water/sugar, kept defying the odds. She started to deteriorate after her 93rd birthday (17/06). The end-of-life care from then on was exceptional. She was never in pain, her anxiety issues were well managed. I, as a relative, was made to feel as part of her care team which was wonderful. Mum died peacefully on 07/07/2022. Thank you to the manager and to all the staff who work so well as a team.

Reply from Rebecca Hannam, Home Manager at Court Lodge

Thank you for your kind review. We are all really touched to hear that you considered your mum’s end of life care ‘exceptional’ and we miss you both! Do keep in touch.
