Courtfield Lodge Care Home is part of a group that runs successful Nursing and Residential Care Homes. The Home is registered and inspected by Care Quality Commission (CQC) to provide outstanding care as follows:

• Caring for adults over 65 years
• Caring for adults under 65 years
• People living with dementia
• People who require nursing or personal care

The maximum number of Residents allowed at any one time is 70.

Courtfield Lodge Care Home aims to continually provide its residents with a secure, relaxed, and homely environment in which their care, well-being and comfort is of prime importance.

Carers will always strive to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all residents and in so doing will be sensitive to the residents’ ever-changing needs. Such needs may be medical / therapeutic (for physical and mental welfare), cultural, psychological, spiritual, emotional and social, and residents are encouraged to participate in the development of their individualised Care Plans in which the involvement of family and friends may be appropriate and is greatly valued.

All Care staff within the home will be appropriately qualified to deliver the highest standards of care. A continuous staff training programme is implemented to ensure that these high standards are maintained in line with the latest initiatives and developments in Care Practices as may be laid down in appropriate legislation, regulations and Care Standards.

Courtfield Lodge comprises a residential and dementia residential care home registered for 70 residents. The home provides 61 bedrooms, 52 singles and 9 twin/doubles. All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and WC’s.

The home was built in 1989 with a T-shape with a ground and first floor. The accommodation is well arranged with adequate sized rooms, corridors of reasonable width and adequate provision of day rooms, bathrooms and WC’s.

The home lies at the end of a cul-de-sac and adjoins a stream, a school, residential properties and playing fields. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with shrubs and hedgerows to the boundary and a row of mature trees. At Courtfield Lodge, we can accommodate older people requiring personal care, including people with dementia. All of our bedrooms are bright and airy.

The Residents are encouraged to personalise their bedroom as much as possible so that it feels like home.

We provide a nurse call bell, and t.v. point in all bedrooms.  Residents can also purchase individual telephone services and Sky t.v. for their bedrooms if they wish to do so. The home is accessible for wheelchair user’s, and handrails are available in all communal areas. Two passenger lifts are also available.

We have a range of specialist equipment to meet the needs of our residents including specialist mattresses, (provided by district nurses), beds, full-body hoisting equipment and stand-aid hoisting equipment.  We have a range of adapted bathing and shower facilities.

We pay particular attention to detail in order to make the home a safe environment for our Residents, including those who may wish to walk with a purpose. We have installed a touch-tone keypad on the main exit out of the building in order to ensure the safety and protection of all our Residents. In addition, we have installed CCTV in communal areas and access points.

Our chef teams use great ingredients to provide freshly prepared, nutritionally balanced meals based on regularly changing, seasonal menus. We make mealtimes an occasion for our residents, enabling them to enjoy their food in welcoming surroundings and catered for by our care teams. Residents always have multiple options to choose from at all meal times and can opt for something different if they change their minds when the food arrives.

We make sure our residents start the day right with a filling breakfast including cereals, fruit, toast and porridge, plus a daily changing choice of hot options. Our Residents are welcome to have breakfast any time they desire, and we are happy to accommodate their morning schedule. Between Breakfast and Lunch, we offer mid-morning cake and coffee.

Here lunch is the main meal of the day – enabling residents to dine together in a restaurant-style environment and providing a choice of hot meals and the option of soup or a sandwich for those that don’t want something quite as filling. Lunch is finished with delicious desserts, all prepared on-site by our chef teams.

And then, between lunch and supper, it’s mid-afternoon tea time with mouth-watering freshly baked cakes that our residents and team members enjoy together, making afternoon tea an activity in itself. After supper, during the night, lighter meal options are provided in the evening, and fresh fruit and snacks are available throughout the day to keep resident’s nourished, energised and satisfied

Meaningful Days, Every Day

At We Care Group, we believe great care is about more than meeting physical needs – it’s about helping every resident enjoy a life filled with purpose, connection and happiness. That’s why we use the Oomph! Wellbeing & Activities Platform to support our daily activities programme.

Every resident is unique, and their activities should be too. Oomph! helps our team create personalised experiences based on each person’s interests, hobbies and abilities. From music, arts and crafts and baking to gentle exercise, gardening and reminiscence sessions, our varied programme encourages residents to stay active, engaged and connected.

Taking part in meaningful activities supports both physical and emotional wellbeing. It helps maintain mobility and confidence, encourages friendships, reduces feelings of loneliness and provides valuable mental stimulation. Most importantly, it enables residents to continue enjoying the things that bring them joy.

For families, this means the reassurance of knowing their loved one is living each day with purpose. By spending less time planning and more time with residents, our wellbeing team can focus on creating moments that matter, helping every person feel valued, included and truly at home.

What happens if I can no longer afford private care?

If your circumstances change and you become eligible for local authority funding, we will work closely with you, your family, and the funding authority to ensure your continued care. While some public funding may not cover the full cost of your current room and services, we will explore all possible solutions; such as third-party top-ups or room changes where appropriate. Most importantly, we do not serve notice to residents purely because of a transition from private payment to local authority funding. We are committed to providing a long-term home and supporting you every step of the way.
