My mother spent the last three years of her life at Court Lodge, and I am deeply grateful for the kindness and care she received there. Over time we got to know so many of the staff, and it was clear how much affection they had for her. The companionship team, carers, nurses and all the staff -
including cleaners, catering, admin, management and reception - treated her with warmth, dignity and patience.
As a family, we always felt she was safe, comfortable and truly cared for. The compassion shown in her final days meant more to us than we can say. We will always be thankful for the comfort and support they provided.

From the moment you step into Court Lodge, you can feel the warmth and compassion that make this home so special. The environment is welcoming, calm, and beautifully maintained - a true reflection of the care and pride the staff take in their work.
The entire team at Court Lodge goes above and
beyond to ensure every resident feels valued, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail shine through in everything they do, from the thoughtful daily activities to the personalized care plans that meet each resident's unique needs.
Families are kept informed and supported at every step, which brings tremendous peace of mind. It's clear that the staff at Court Lodge don't see this as just a job - they treat residents like family, creating a community filled with dignity, respect, and joy.
Court Lodge sets the standard for compassionate elder care, and I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional people who make it such a wonderful place.

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.
11 July 2025
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.

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.
21 April 2025
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.
08 April 2025
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

Such wonderful care in lovely surroundings for our Mother's last 20 months of her life.
Court Lodge has the feel of a cosy small hotel. Mum's room overlooked the lovely gardens.
The care, activities, food, nursing care, gardens, administration and management are first rate. All members of staff
are extremely welcoming.

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.
30 January 2025
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.

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.

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.

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.
26 February 2024
The staff are wonderful - patient, caring and kind. It was very reassuring to know that Dad was in such good hands. Nothing was too much and he couldn't have been in a better place in the last stages of his life. When he passed away a difficult situation was made much easier than it might have been
by the professionalism and genuine concern shown. Thank you very much.
24 January 2024
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.
22 June 2023
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.
12 April 2023
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.
05 April 2023
Everyone has been so kind and helpful in looking after my father in respite care, very thoughtful and sympathetic to the unknown aspects of his stay. Providing good clinical and residential services, allowing his family to regroup for his care needs with total confidence in his well-being.
29 March 2023
Our 93-year-old mother went into Court Lodge to recuperate after hospitalisation following a fall in August 2022. Mum enjoyed it so much she decided to stay!
The manager heads Court Lodge along with others in Reception, administration, and the member of staff leading the red coats with a varied
weekly programme of activities. Plus the happy team of nurses, carers, ancillary staff and catering team, and also the gentleman busy and cheerful in the lovely gardens.
All work very hard to support one another to ensure the best possible standard of care for the residents. It is a truly uplifting and dedicated environment with all colleagues working together to excel and perform above expectations.
