Colton Lodges Care Home

Cannot pin down to one month as the care is constant.

We all had a very nice couple of hours together in the communal area of the home to celebrate sixty years of marriage between my mother and father. Tea and cakes laid on for us made for a good little celebration.

My mum is 101-years-old, she is well looked after, all staff are angels. Management are very approachable if ever I need to speak to them. I am so happy with everything about the home.

I visit Mum twice a week and she is always found to be well looked after. Management team are very approachable and kind. Staff work hard and always provide excellent care. I would recommend Colton Lodges Care Home to anyone looking for a care home. First impressions of the home, gardens and environment provide an excellent insight to the care given within the home.

I come most days to take my mum out, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. My mum is always happy and she is always ready on time for our visit.

My husband and I sleep better knowing she is in great care.

I’m the son in law of a resident on Whitkirk House. I can’t visit often due to my work commitments but I know Dad is well cared for. We are kept up to date about Dads care each month which is reassuring. New management team in place who have the right attitude to bring changes and listen to suggestions instead of dismissing them. The care and housekeeping team are great and look after my family when they visit. Thank you to everybody for keeping dad safe.

My husband and I have been visiting our neighbour for two-plus years now. We really enjoy visiting. The staff are amazing, so kind and caring. We cannot fault the home in any way. Keep up the great work and keep smiling!

I have just moved my mother for the first time since lockdown. I was very impressed with the new procedures to meet my mother. I was able to talk to her, and we could hold a conversation, which she could hear clearly. The PPE in place for us was good to allow for our safety and that of the other visitors.

Tried to ring the manager to discuss but no callback.

The staff are caring and understanding of my mother's needs. However, I am critical of the laundry facilities, i.e items go missing or are sometimes spoilt by high wash temperatures.

The entire staff at Colton Lodges are courteous, kind, efficient, hardworking and everyone is friendly and helpful and make it a pleasure to visit.

My husband was in Colton Lodge and he was really well looked after and the staff were 100% caring and kind. The food was a high standard and the room was just like being at home, so nice and comfortable and it just looked like a hotel. They were always ready to answer any questions I had to ask.

The meals are very good with lots of variety. I would recommend Colton Lodges to anyone looking for a care home.

The staff are very caring, kind and helpful and the atmosphere in the care home is warm and welcoming. I have observed staff with residents and they are really friendly and kind towards those in their care. I would recommend the care home to others. Thanks to all the staff who are doing a wonderful job.

Can I, however, say that I am not blaming the carers who work there as they do a great job with the limited resources they have and little wage.

Rooms clean and tidy, smells pleasant.

Thank you.

The only downside is that I believe that the fabric of the building, whilst kept clean and homely, is ready for refurbishment.

The activities they do with the residents keep them alert.
