Words cannot express our gratitude for the excellent way my father was looked after by the staff and management of Court Lodge. They were so kind, caring, helpful, considerate, sympathetic, and friendly. Just wonderful really. Thank you so much. My mother would like to reinforce all of the above and looks forward to seeing some of you at the funeral.

I visit my mum every 7-10 days and I always get a very warm welcome from staff and residents. Nothing seems too much trouble to help. Mum is given excellent care and encouraged to join in or given choice. Everything is very clean and meals very good. Staff are patient and understanding of mum's needs when she is finding things challenging and keeps me informed.

Review submitted by Lorna B (Respite Resident/Service User) on Wednesday 29 August 2018. Review relates to August 2018.

I have had good care following surgery for bowel cancer. The staff on all levels have been helpful, cheerful and encouraging and always try to meet my own individual needs. Food is excellent and again effort made to go along with my preferences. My room is comfortable and well equipped. I have not participated in activities as I need rest but have enjoyed quiet walks in the beautiful garden. The need for this kind of care is very great but for many of us, it is difficult meeting the cost. Can a way be found to reduce the cost?

Review submitted by Mavis M (Resident / Service User) on Tuesday 31 July 2018. Review relates to July 2018.

I have been a resident for one year, four months. The staff made it easy for me to settle in. The garden here is greatly appreciated, we sit out most days under very good sun umbrellas. The only query I would have, although the chefs are very good, they do not always have what is printed on the menus, sometimes quite 'basic ingredients'. The last few months the suppers have become too large and heavy for most people to appreciate.

Court Lodge is wonderful; the staff, the ambience, the gardens, the activities and, of course, the care. My mother in law had a month there (respite) last year and now needs full care and has been welcomed back so nicely that the move was really smooth and she already feels at home. We are delighted for her. I want to praise the wonderful range of activities here at Court Lodge - every day there is so much to do and never a dull moment. They think up a good range of things to entertain and amuse and organise wonderful day trips. A+++ to the activities team.

I live alone and needed help following hip surgery. The last 2 weeks have certainly aided my recovery, thank you. My Aunt has been a resident for 2 plus years and I had witnessed a very caring, friendly, attentive team and have now experienced first hand for myself. A huge thank you to everyone, no matter what their role they all work as a very happy team supporting and showing care to all residents, much appreciated.

Review submitted by Beatrice W (Wife of Resident/Service User) on Monday 30 April 2018. Review relates to April 2018.

I had no knowledge of the working of a nursing home until my Husband became ill. After nine weeks in hospital we were told to find a nursing home or he could be sent anywhere as I am 92 years young. My Son-in-law looked into things for me. As Court Lodge is the nearest to us he started there and had a chat with the Matron who showed him rooms and facilities and explained the activities. After going in to see my Husband every day for the last seven months he is now very poorly but sitting with him as long I have had the chance to see for myself how great the nurses and carers treat him and also they are lovely to me.

On the whole, I am happy with my mother's day-to-day care, most of the staff are helpful and kind. A couple of night staff could be more supportive (with help to the bathroom). Food is not too bad, meals sometimes late and wrong meats given quite often. More home type meals would be nice (chips, goujons usually very hard and crispy).

Review submitted by Stephanie M (Respite Resident/Service User) on Monday 22 January 2018. Review relates to July 2017.

I enjoyed my two-week stay at Court Lodge and came out renewed and (in many ways due to lovely fun art classes) determined to return to my painting, knitting and hobbies which I had abandoned. I've done so and it's really improved living with long-term illness. The staff were from all over the world and consistently kind and encouraging - lovely people, who made me feel warmly looked after. The food was also very good and brought back a lost appetite. Thank you all for your kindness and goodwill. I won't forget.

Review submitted by Alexander A (Friend of Resident/Service User) on Tuesday 3 October 2017. Review relates to September 2017.

Throughout the period of visiting your resident, it has been a great pleasure. A) To experience the ambience of both homes B) to enjoy the very comfortable and attractive furnishings, carpeting, wall pictures and generally tasteful décor. C) To experience the constant, kindliness, helpfulness, courtesy and care extended to both the residents in general and to myself. D) To see the performance (first class) against that of many other care homes which I have visited myself as a retired healthcare professional.

Review submitted by S E (Sister of Resident/Service User) on Wednesday 19 April 2017. Review relates to April 2017.

My sister was a resident for fourteen months. We found it was a really lovely nursing home. All the staff were wonderful, prepared to "go the extra mile". Management, nursing, caring, kitchen, dining, cleaning, laundry, gardening and maintenance were all prepared to chat and always had a smile and a kind word. The resident activities organiser provided a very varied programme and a mini-bus outing weekly. I do not hesitate to highly recommend this home for your loved one. I can only thank them all for all they did for us.

We travelled from Lymington to Ringwood then Downton then up to Salisbury. By then the weather cleared up and we had the most wonderful dinner at the pub. I enjoyed the pub meal, which was a great big fry up. I enjoyed my company on the bus and at the pub. The staff were wonderful and whole day trip was well planned. I enjoy the drive around the Cathedral.

From the day our Mother first arrived at Court Lodge, she was treated with utmost respect, love and care for you all. We were immensely grateful to you all for this care and she was very happy at Court Lodge, which was a huge change in her life at 103, from being semi-independent to being in full time care, she adapted to this situation and for me living close by, it was a joy to be able to visit her every day

Thank you for the generous care and attention the entire staff gave to my Mother - she didn't want to go into a care home, but once she was in Court Lodge she didn't want to go home! All of the staff members who visited her never failed to bring her comfort and reassurance, to brighten her day and to make her smile. She felt safe and well cared for and this enabled her to paint every day which brought her such joy. You do a marvellous job and our family is so grateful for that.

Whenever I go to visit my Mum at Court Lodge, they always manage to feed me – even with short notice. The food is of good quality, with plenty of variety, interesting flavours, and always topped off with a personal touch. New residents sometimes think they are at a restaurant and ask who to pay!

We would like to make Colten Care aware of the compassion and total dedication of all the staff at Court Lodge, who attended to Mum in the four years she was there.

The last few months were very difficult for us. However, we were treated most sympathetically at all our visits and during our numerous telephone calls, and we always felt that Mum was being given the best care possible.

Christopher, son of resident at Court Lodge

Thank you for the lovely flowers that started my stay and everyone admired, and for the lovely flowers that came here today. I enjoyed my stay at Court Lodge very much, and miss all the comings and goings of the wonderful staff.

I hope to call in soon to participate in the occasional activity.

I wanted to write and say a huge thank you for the kindest, most compassionate care you gave Mum. Your positivity and drive led to her making such a huge improvement from when she arrived, and she felt so proud with all her achievements and milestones she hit whilst with you. She was so happy and grateful to all of you for helping her so much.

For us as a family, you gave us enormous peace of mind and helped us through tough times and happy times, not to mention the wonderful party you did for her.

Thank you so much again for everything you did for all of us.

Thank you so much for giving Mum such a fantastic birthday party. You organised everything so perfectly, even down to the lovely decorations, and the food was simply gorgeous! You made Mum’s day and her guests were all very impressed.

What a fantastic effort you all made to make my party such a success. My particular thanks to the chef for the fantastic spread he prepared – I don’t feel we did it full justice, but there were many complimentary remarks made about it. And the room – how spectacular!

Many, many thanks to everyone involved.

The 90^th birthday party on Sunday for our relative went so very well in every way, and the family and friends had such a lovely time. Thank you all very much indeed, especially for all the decorations and for such a superb feast. Well done; not an easy task to coordinate, but such fun for all the guests.

Thank you, thank you.
