I am so pleased that my mother is resident at Court Lodge. I moved her from another care home (not a Colten one) and the difference is amazing - Ma is happy and so am I, and it is a pleasure to visit her and see her smiling.
This is down to a variety of reasons, topmost of which has to be the
superb care and attention to detail from the whole team - an amazing group of people who have always had a smile and are happy to talk and listen.
The whole ambience is so unlike other homes - it is friendly , cosy, spotlessly clean... in no way institutional. And the food is amazing! I would strongly urge anyone contemplating choosing a home fo themselves or a loved one to visit and see it for yourselves!

I feel very fortunate to be in Court Lodge and can't fault it in any way. I'm very happy here. Very good rooms. The staff are excellent. My husband was here before me and the care received was excellent, particularly when knowing the fact that most staff have been here for 20 years speaks for
itself.

My Mum has been resident at Court Lodge for nearly a year. I now have peace of mind that she is safe, healthy and is being well cared for. I live very close to the home so can pop in whenever I like. What really strikes you when you walk in, is how friendly all the staff are. From walking in the
front door to reaching my mums room on the 1st floor, I receive so many warm greetings. It's a very relaxed, homely atmosphere. I'm always offered a cup of tea and if I'm lucky a glass of Prosecco on occasions! From what I witness, the care is very good. The staff are polite and residents are treated with great dignity. One of the outstanding areas is having a team of staff dedicated to providing activities for the residents. My Mum chooses not to join in with much in the home, but staff try to encourage her or they take activities to her room. They even lay on weekly outings. Thank you to all staff for all you do. It's very hard work but you always do it with a smile

From the moment I set foot in Court Lodge I felt that the atmosphere was right and my guided tour only confirmed this impression. Ihave been very impressed by the care that is now being given to my husband and the friendly and courteous way that I am greeted and kept informed. The food is very good
- which always helps!

There are not enough words to say how thankful I am to all the staff and care that Court Lodge showed my mum and me. The dignity, respect and love was everything. My mum became my mum again and I was able to spend everyday with her and our dog too. I will forever be grateful for those 7 months and
the palliative care that was given. You truly are the greatest team and thank you again for everything.
Christina.

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.
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!

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.
