Very happy with the care provided. Mum is well looked after and seems content. The staff are very responsive to her needs and go out of their way to engage with her, which makes such a difference. She isn't able to communicate well, but her face lights up when she sees the staff.

Colton Lodge is the best care home I have ever seen, and I am really happy knowing my husband is in such a lovely place and is in good hands. The staff are very caring, and the food is excellent. As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere is very calming and relaxed, and the residents look happy and well
looked after. My husband has been in for just over 2 months now, and he is settling in nicely.

Mum has now completed 6 months at Colton Lodge. The experience has surpassed all of our expectations. The rooms are a very good size, the communal areas are very well maintained, and the outside space is immaculate.
Without question, the main assets of Colton Lodges has to be the quality of staff.
Fantastic individual contributors and a very well trained team. The staff really care and always go the extra mile. A special mention to the entertainment coordinators. First class... Thank you

Review from Sharon F (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in April 2025 whilst in hospital and he also had mixed dementia. There were no places available in Wakefield to meet his needs so I rang HC One to see if they could accommodate dad at short notice. Within days he had been moved in and was being taken care
of. Every single member of staff was great with dad even on his most difficult days. His room and clothes were all kept clean, he was fed his special diet and absolutely loved it when the catering team made him a soft diet birthday cake ! His nurses have advocated for what dad wanted first and foremost. The carers and wider team are all lovely, kind, caring people and dad always said of everyone who looked after him 'he's a lovely fella or she's a smashing lady' which meant my sister and I felt absolutely fine when leaving him. The team always kept us informed about dad whether it was good or bad and would support us too when we were finding it very hard sometimes. Highly recommend

My dad has been in the care home for the last 4 weeks after a fall, we were hesitant about him going into care but need not have been. The staff are caring & welcoming, his room is clean & homely & warm, nothing is too much trouble he's really settled in. The staff are friendly I never have to worry
about leaving him, he's happy & content and I couldn't ask for anything more. It was a good choice for anyone when a family member is unable to care for themself. I would thoroughly recommend Colton Lodges.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
when mum first arrived she was very confused but soon settled in with care and support from the staff team, who listened to our concerns about how much mum's care had changed since August when she was fully independent.
Every member of staff when have ancountered is friendly, cheerful, respectful and
kind. We were worried about mum going into care but the care we have received as a family not just mum has been better than we could have hoped.
Mum can no longer vocalise but we can see by her body language she is relaxed and calm which is a great support.
I am kept aware of any changes in mums health and I feel very confident of the care given to mum is the best she could have as she reaches the end of her life journey.
Words cannot express how thankful we are to your fantastic team. I'm not good at this sort of thing but hope you understand how knowing mum is being looked after by such a great team helps us cope with the changes mum is going through.
Thank you all xx

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Before dad arrived he was visited in his rehab centre to assess his needs and preferences. He was transported to Colton Lodge with the help of the manager in charge.
Since arriving on the 4th of December dad's care has been second to none. It's lovely to see him clean, cared for and stimulated in a
happy environment. The staff are always able to help with dad's needs. His room is clean and the home has a hotel feel all been on one floor.
The only negative would be the extras you have to pay for as in toiletries which we didn't
expect.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Colton Lodges Care HomeDear Kate,
Thank you for your lovely review. We will take your comment on board and glad your father is enjoying his stay.

My mum recently died at the age of 92 years, during her final 18 months she lived in Garforth House, Colton Lodges where she was very happy. Caroline and all the staff were brilliant with mum, pandering to her care needs and mental wellbeing. I cannot thank them all enough for enhancing mum's life and
giving her quality time in addition the care and consideration given to us all on mum's death by all concerned was of the highest order. Thanks to all.

My mum moved into Colton Lodge in Jan 2024, it took her a long time to settle, but she has thanks to the most wonderful team of staff who care for her needs, both her and our dementia journey has been easier. The personal experience they create for every dementia patient is excellent and I couldn't

The change in D since coming to Colton Lodges Care Home is amazing to see. She looks so well. Being a carer myself I can tell that D is being cared for properly. I used to work here at Colton Lodges 7 or so years ago, it loosk a lot fresher and seems to be running really well since I was here. I've
also noticed D has been joining in with activities. It's really nice to see the different activities here. Really happy for D.

My great aunt is a resident at this care home, and I honestly couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful care she receives. The staff are absolutely amazing, they go above and beyond every single day to make sure she's comfortable, happy, and treated with so much kindness and respect.


The level

of compassion and attention they show to residents with dementia is truly outstanding. The home is always warm, welcoming, and full of life, and it gives our whole family such peace of mind knowing she's in such capable and caring hands.


Everything about this place is exceptional, from the cleanliness and atmosphere to the activities and personal touches that make it feel like home. Thank you to all the staff for the incredible work you do. You are real angels!

I'd like to give special recognition to the amazing admin team at the care home. They truly go above and beyond in everything they do. From their warm communication to the extra touches, like printing photos for my great aunt and helping us stay connected. Their kindness and thoughtfulness mean so much

Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, and their dedication really shines through in every interaction. Thank you for all your hard work behind the scenes, you make such a difference and are a big part of what makes this home so special.

My mother moved to Colton Loges in August 2025 and I could not be more reassured by the care she receives each day in Elmet House. It is clear the team know my mother well, not just her care needs but her personality and preferences. She is happy, comfortable and content. She does lots of activities/visits
and has built a circle of friends with wonderful wellbeing teams. I am truly grateful for the dedication and compassion of everyone who works at Colton Lodges. We were encouraged to decorate her room with willing help from the lovely maintenance team. Nothing is ever too much trouble, full medical and social aspects catered for. Thank you all very much

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.574)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.574) 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 4.6 out of 5 from 57 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.574 for Colton Lodges Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (461 Excellents x 5) + (163 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 671 Ratings = 4.574
  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 53 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 53 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.
