Hartford Court is a purpose-built care home set right in the heart of Portsmouth within the Guardian’s Gate housing development adjacent to St Mary’s hospital and has a team of dedicated, caring and loving staff who support residents and their individual needs.
Hartford Court is spread over two distinct floors that offer different yet complementary care to the people of Portsmouth and surrounding areas. The ground floor offers empowering residential care where every one of their residents have their independence championed and their individual preferences supported.
On the first floor the home has a highly positive dementia specialist floor which incorporates a range of cleverly hidden elements that make living with dementia as positive an experience as possible. Highly-trained and empathetic staff make sure that each and every day their residents are greeted with a smiling face and a respectful demeanour from every member of staff that they encounter. Activities have been designed to be interesting yet meaningful and so give the residents reason to get involved rather than just filling time.
All of the individually designed bedrooms are comfortable, beautifully furnished and complete with a large and spacious wet room. The first floor also enjoys a comfortable terrace from which the residents can enjoy continuous access to the fresh air for relaxation. All rooms come with a flat screen TV and for those residents that wish there is a direct dial telephone.
Residents can socialise in the communal areas or relax in the beautiful gardens along with enjoying all inclusive home cooked meals in the dining room. Hartford Court also benefits from a hairdressing salon, inclusive daily activity schedule including trips out, access to video calling and an all inclusive laundry service.

My nan has been here for quite a few months now and I honestly cannot recommend this care home enough. I have visited so many care homes whilst looking for one and none have even come close to Hartford court. My nan suffered from dementia and paranoia quite severely before she came here but the improvement I have seen in this is unbelievable. She is so aware, response, happy to see us, not confused and not paranoid. she now has a life of her own, surrounded by people who understand her. Every member of staff makes you feel so welcome like it is a second home. My nan can be fussy with food and the chef will always make her something different to eat is on the menu if that's is what she would like. She is also taken out regularly from going to the beach to going for coffee to going to the social club. Also, Harvey, the dog is an added bonus!

The peace of mind that we have knowing that Aunt is well cared for and stimulated to engage in a wide variety of activities means a great deal. Moving a dear relative into care, leaving the home she had lived in for decades, was an emotional task. She has settled quickly, has put on weight and is busier than she has been for a number of years. Staff know their residents as individuals and visitors are made to feel like part of the wider family, welcome to visit at any time.

Friends and relatives that visited equated Hartford Court as a five-star hotel. I could not have agreed more.
Mum is due to go back again in March again for respite and she is looking forward to it.
I cannot fault the care that Mum has received.
My mother moved to Hartford Court in July after several weeks in hospital following a fall. It is a beautiful home with lovely gardens. The bedrooms and common rooms are bright and nicely decorated. The staff are amazing, cheerful and kind. Nothing is too much trouble. Family and visitors are made...
My Mum regards this as her home and feels safe and content. It is good for her to have company after years of living alone. Recommend Hartford Court most highly.
Living here is very good. First time in a care home. Food is very nice and the coffee is not bad. I am happy here.

My friend has only been in Hartford Court a few weeks. When I first visited my friend, I found the staff very helpful and friendly and this has been the same when I visit twice a week. The home looks like a 5-star hotel, very spacious with comfortable furniture and pretty pictures on the walls.

The home takes pride in a non-discriminatory service, which respects freedoms of choice, dignity, respect and confidentiality.
Bedrooms are top spec with en-suite bathrooms.
Would highly recommend.
Unbelievable care and attention. I cannot recommend Hartford Court enough. Nothing is too much trouble. The residents are treated with respect and dignity and the quality and choice of food is equal to a superior restaurant. Do not hesitate to consider Hartford Court - I feel so reassured by them.

My mum went to Hartford Court for 2 weeks respite care after having a foot operation. She is 75 years old and suffers with Parkinson's so felt worried about going home. The building was amazing and had a warm feeling from the outset. Above all that was the professionalism and friendliness of the staff! They immediately made my mum feel at home and welcomed myself and 2 daughters into mums temporary "home". I have no complaints they treated my mum with respect and she especially enjoyed "teaching" the chef how to make scones!! Mum is ready for home and not quite ready for full time care but it has been perfect for her needs. Thanks.
Early days as the home has only been open once a month and my aunt only the third person in but excellent care given 24/7. Beautiful surroundings. Lovely rooms and decor, excellent staff, manager making good efforts to link in with community. Local school gave a music concert this morning....
Early days as the home has only been open once a month and my aunt only the third person in but excellent care given 24/7. Beautiful surroundings. Lovely rooms and decor, excellent staff, manager making good efforts to link in with community. Local school gave a music concert this morning. Residents all stimulated one to one attention, at the moment my aunt has been taken out twice already. Excellent home cooked food- residents can choose an alternative to planned dish. Fresh fruit and cakes served everyday and family and friends made very welcome. First class!!
My in-laws became residents early June 2016. From the beginning they were very pleased with all the staff and were amazed at the building and it's furnishing.

My parents both love it at Hartford Court. They settled in from day one and are given friendly care and support. All staff are very helpful, the rooms are lovely and the food is excellent. I would strongly recommend the home.

My mother had been active and independent until she fell ill in December. On discharge from hospital she went into a residential home which did not provide the correct environment for my mother. My mother moved into Hartford Court on 1st June to be nearer me. The ambiance and standard of care was a breath of fresh air compared to the previous home. My mother was quite ill when she arrived at the home. The staff at Hartford ensured she received medical attention from the local GP and gave her wonderful care. Mom's demeanour has steadily improved. She is rediscovering herself because of the level of thoughtful care received. The place is spotless, has lovely gardens and rooms and the food is very good. Because it is a new home the programme of activities has not been established as yet.
Lovely fresh food served on a daily basis. Good choices displayed on menu. Clean linen tablecloths....
Lovely fresh food served on a daily basis. Good choices displayed on menu. Clean linen tablecloths. Family welcome to join for lunch or dinner - Sunday lunch excellent. Have seen great improvements in mums overall well-being thanks to the great care. Home from home at last.
My Mum has been at Hartford Court for just 3 weeks and already she looks 6 years younger! Staff, management and overall package is superb. I've already recommended the home to a cousin. Keep up the brilliant work.
