Reviews and Testimonials

Thank you so much for making Dad's first year so positive.  It's a massive thing for someone when they finally decide to leave their own home and move into residential care.  It was a very difficult decision for Dad.  So it takes special people to make that possible.  You made the change a positive one.  You and the wonderful staff at Court Lodge made a big difference to him and also to us.  You can't have done anything more.  The biggest thing anyone could have done actually.  We have all relaxed since Dad moved in knowing he is safe.

I have been impressed with the professionalism and care given to my mother through difficult times. The manager keeps me regularly informed of the care given, including pictures of residents and staff, their activities and news. I managed to visit my mother for the first time in 10 weeks, via a Perspex screen cleverly fitted to the main door and an area screened off for privacy. Great sensitive work..

As well as the wonderful level of care and support she receives, we’ve been impressed with Colton Care’s response to the crisis, the communication we receive and the efforts to accommodate all your residents’ needs.

Court Lodge in Lymington is an excellent place where everyone would want their parent to be. The staff are so caring and friendly and treat mum with dignity. This COVID crisis, they have been superb! They had PPE and operations ready to protect residents. They have been operating Skype so we can talk to mum during lockdown. Nothing is too much trouble.

I have been so impressed with the care that my aunt has received over the last 6 months since she moved to Court Lodge. Nothing is too much trouble, and communication ha been very good. As a GP myself, I know excellent care when I see it.

Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you so much for helping our relative to talk on the phone. I really do appreciate it. Thank you for all the nurses and carers and everyone else.

Daughter of Resident at Court Lodge

Where do I begin. I feel Tom as manager you only get to deal with things when they are not going as they should, family conflicts, or the end when families are incredibly distress. It is clear that you run and manager a very caring, positive and phenomenally efficient residency.

I am writing to express my appreciation for the way I was looked after during my recent stay at Court Lodge. Despite the difficulties caused by the coronavirus epidemic your staff remained cheerful and helpful. I was impressed by the high standard of the accommodation and was very comfortable in my room. I was also fortunate to have a balcony overlooking the garden.

Ex respite resident at Court Lodge

We think we can set up an ancient ipad to use for mummy to receive Face Time calls. Keeping it as simple as possible, all being well. Anticipating that contact is only going to get harder, this may help us all feel less isolated from each other. Thank you so much and take care of yourselves.
