  • Hartford Court, Portsmouth
Hartford Court is a purpose-built care home set right in the heart of Portsmouth within the Guardian’s Gate housing development adjacent to St Mary’s hospital and has a team of dedicated, caring and loving staff who support residents and their individual needs.

Hartford Court is spread over two distinct floors that offer different yet complementary care to the people of Portsmouth and surrounding areas. The ground floor offers empowering residential care where every one of their residents have their independence championed and their individual preferences supported.

On the first floor the home has a highly positive dementia specialist floor which incorporates a range of cleverly hidden elements that make living with dementia as positive an experience as possible. Highly-trained and empathetic staff make sure that each and every day their residents are greeted with a smiling face and a respectful demeanour from every member of staff that they encounter. Activities have been designed to be interesting yet meaningful and so give the residents reason to get involved rather than just filling time.

All of the individually designed bedrooms are comfortable, beautifully furnished and complete with a large and spacious wet room. The first floor also enjoys a comfortable terrace from which the residents can enjoy continuous access to the fresh air for relaxation. All rooms come with a flat screen TV and for those residents that wish there is a direct dial telephone.

Residents can socialise in the communal areas or relax in the beautiful gardens along with enjoying all inclusive home cooked meals in the dining room. Hartford Court also benefits from a hairdressing salon, inclusive daily activity schedule including trips out, access to video calling and an all inclusive laundry service.

I have visited many care homes visiting elderly Christian friends and family. I have never found one like Hartford Court where all the staff are so warm and friendly. Two people I could mention at Hartford Court is the entertainment staff and the reception staff. Both these staff members exude care
and compassion to residents and visitors alike. However, I could not exclude other members of staff for also showing empathy. The home is always warm and welcoming. It is clean and friendly. Thank you for your care provided.

Reply from Lindsay Mahoney, Hospitality & Wellbeing Manager at Hartford Court

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It is wonderful to know that during your time visiting many care homes that Hartford Court stands out as warm and welcoming, friendly and clean. We are also very happy to hear how our team are compassionate and caring towards, not only the residents but to visitors too. We will pass on your kind words to the whole team at Hartford Court.

Hard to find fault with the quality of the care provided. All staff are happy to help and always give the impression of enjoying working at the home.
The review would have been a negative one if completed last month, however an ongoing issue was finally resolved by the ingenuity of the staff. Shame
the company didn't step in quicker to sort given the cost of staying there.

My mum is in a lovely care home with extremely hard-working staff. The facilities are always clean and bright, the garden is beautiful and having access to the outdoors on a balcony on the first floor is a great addition. The two staff who provide entertainment are always smiling which helps the resident's
happiness. All the staff are helpful and very caring and interested in how my mum is and work hard to help my mum where they can. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, we are thrilled to hear mum has settled into life at Hartford Court so well. We are very proud of how the team works so hard to make life within the care home such a special, joyful and happy place to live. The garden is beautiful and very well looked after by our gardener Chris. We love to get the residents involved with the garden, and everyone loves to be outside whatever the weather. It's great to know mum is enjoying all the daily activities which our team plan and deliver each day. Thank you once again for your time and very kind comments, I will be sure to pass them onto all the staff at Hartford Court.

Mum came to Hartford Court around six weeks ago. She's definitely in the right place, physically she looks better, with rosy cheeks, clean! Weight gain (necessary) and also stimulated by seeing more people, interacting and taking part in activities, particularly musical ones!
The facilities are excellent
and her room is lovely. Staff are friendly and the activity coordinated knows what activities Mum likes. Management and reception are great, really friendly and helpful. Mum is completely safe, I'm so glad she's here.

Attractive exterior and reception. Same for communal rooms. Bathrooms good, bedroom bare but realise can be enhanced by relatives.
My dear wife is also blind, and needs two carers for toileting and transition. My only concern, being blind she is often just staring into darkness for hours. I note she
often responds to other nearby people in error thinking they are talking to her, sad. Appears to lack a friend. I appreciate it's not easy to solve. We both love the staff and kindness.

My mum has been at Hartford Court since November 2021 and we feel that the home offers a high standard of care. The staff are wonderful and Mum seems very happy and content, although she has had Alzheimer's (for 9 years), therefore she finds it difficult to express how she is feeling. The activities

My mother-in-law was taken to Hartford Court from hospital at the beginning of December. We as a family were a little concerned about her and how she would settle in. We did not need to worry, the staff, caring, reception and cleaning staff are friendly work incredibly hard but always with a smile and
are very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble and both my mother-in-law and the other residents always look clean and very presentable. The premises are spotless and clean. When speaking with my mother-in-law she always seems happy and enjoyed her Christmas with lots of activities ranging from panto to singers to arts and crafts. We are totally happy with Hartford Court and so is our mother-in-law.

The love and care Mum receives every day makes my heart full. Not only is she safe and healthy but every staff member - including carers, admin, kitchen, maintenance, and housekeeping teams - know her and greet her like family. Hartford Court is truly a “home”. All the residents are interacted with
individually, and there are activities every day.
The home and grounds are beautifully maintained and the rooms all reflect the residents’ uniqueness. I’m free to visit any time and I am kept fully involved in Mum’s life, and care plan.
I could not imagine a better place for Mum to live her full potential at this stage in her life.

I came into Hartford Court in September 2021 after a long spell in hospital.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.650)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.650) out of 10 for Hartford Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.650 for Hartford Court is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.65

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hartford Court is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Michelle Presdee

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2018

Hello and welcome to Hartford Court!


My name is Michelle Presdee and I became the General Manager of Hartford Court in August 2018.


During my career, I have always worked in adult social care. I started as a ‘tea girl’ and then an ‘auxiliary nurse’ in a nursing home. Following my degree and social work qualification, I worked for many years as a social worker, specialising in working with older people. This role involved supported people maintaining their independence, which at times meant supporting people to move into a care home. This gave me insight into how people can flourish, and their life be enhanced by moving into the right care home.

I have also spent twenty years working for the Care Quality Commission as an inspector. This has given me the skills and experience to know Hartford Court is a home which ensures residents are central and will be at the heart of all decisions made. Residents can be assured they will be treated with the core principles of dignity, privacy and respect at all times. All the staff team know and understand Hartford Court is the resident’s home and will ensure all they do encompasses the values people expect in their own home. Hartford Care has, at its heart, the core three values; Care, Comfort and Companionship.

Residents will be supported and encouraged to continue to follow their hobbies and dreams. We will do all we can to ensure residents are safe, comfortable and always have companionship.


I am delighted and proud to be managing Hartford Court. We have a beautiful environment both inside and outside and I look forward to welcoming you and your loved ones soon!
