He requires 24/7 nursing care which he is now receiving in a satisfactory manner. As all his needs are now being met, he has 'plateaued'. He is comfortable, contented & well-rested.

My husband has settled well and is more motivated and engaged than he has been since his stroke 2 years ago. He enjoys the many activities and entertainment and joins in. It would be good to have umbrellas up outside for hot weather as there is no air conditioning.
Reply from HC-One Limited, Administrator at Colton Lodges Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our home. We are pleased to hear you are happy with the quality of care your husband receives at Colton Lodges care home and we will ensure your kind words are shared with the team. We are reviewing our garden furniture and will be looking into purchasing umbrellas in the near future. Again, thank you for your positive comments.

I highly recommend this care home. The members of staff and the unit manager are caring, warm, professional and were excellent at keeping us informed. My mum had specific care needs for end of life and we were comforted at how well she was looked after from her arrival. We visited everyday, it was so
good to witness the high quality care. Thank You never will be adequate for what you all did each day.

This is an amazing care home, such compassionate staff. Everyone cared for our uncle to the highest levels. My uncle was treated with dignity even down to getting him his daily paper, Pepsi max and jellies. Also activities like pie making were amazing.

My uncle was admitted to Colton Lodge on 30/1/2025, discharged from hospital. He was very poorly. I feel the care staff at Colton looked after him very well and treated him with dignity. Also very happy with the management.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Just want to say a huge thank you to all staff at Colton Lodges. From Management to cleaners, everyone makes the effort to remember residents names, their likes and dislikes and always give visitors a warm welcome. I felt like they were an extended family to both myself and my dad. My late father was
a real character who kept staff on their toes! The staff loved him and cared greatly for him. He refused to join in anything and everything, but they persisted in asking just in case he changed his mind. I was kept updated with everything in relation to my dad's care and nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend this care facility enough. They deserve a Good rating for their next CQC as they are truly amazing.

The care is good - the staff are kind. Mum is happy, we feel that sometimes the staff are a bit careless regarding mum's personal items. Her false teeth were thrown away, her hearing aids were lost, items of clothing (all of which are named) have gone missing and her wheelchair was damaged (at a cost
of £100 to us!). Obviously mum doesn't know about any of this and would be very upset if she did know.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Colton Lodges Care Home

Thank you for your feedback, all feedback is very important to us, and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you would like to discuss this with the unit manager, we can investigate this further and support you in this matter.

We are very pleased with the way mum settled into life at Colton Lodges Care Home. Mum feels safe, well looked after and no longer lonely. The staff in Garforth are all amazing, the unit is well run by a member of staff and her team. We have no concerns. Mums only request is for a nicer outside space
to use in the summer and some flowers to look at.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Colton Lodges Care Home

Thank you for your feedback regarding the outside areas, as a result of this, gardening visits have been increased to support this. I am really pleased to hear your mum feels safe and has settled well.

My mum is asked whether she wants to get out of bed or have a shower as soon as she wakes. When she says no she is not asked again. Mum is bed bound now and often does not get a wash - she uses face wipes and I brush her teeth when I arrive each day at 4pm (even though these basic care duties have been
brought up by me before). Often given a cup which she can not hold and food she cannot cut up or chew. Some, but not all, staff do not speak to her when attending her.

My mum has been a resident of Colton Lodges Care Home since February 2020 and in all this time, we have been happy with the care and dignity with which she has been treated. She can no longer sit in the lounge and join in any activities but she always looks warm and cosy in her room. A big thank you
to the carers on the Newsam Wing.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.413)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.413) out of 10 for Colton Lodges Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.413 for Colton Lodges Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (144 Goods x 4) + (27 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 458 Ratings = 4.413
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Colton Lodges Care Home is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 138 registered maximum number of service users is 27.6, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
