Our family were so pleased how our mum was looked after when she was admitted after a recent health scare. She was so happy with her stay and the family were reassured she was in the right place to help get her back on her feet - we can't recommend the home highly enough.

We booked mum in for respite so my dad and myself could have a break and mum could get the care she needs. Mum has Alzheimer's and the staff at the care lodge have been amazing with her. She had such a positive time we decided to extend the respite and hopefully we can have her there full time in the future.

This is an amazing care home. Beautifully decorated and laid out. All the staff are very friendly and extremely caring to residents and family members. Mum is very settled in the home and my Dad visits about 3 times a week, he is made to feel very welcome.

We can't thank Charlton Lodge enough! Even before moving in, the staff had shown nothing but respect and care for our family. They are clearly in the right job! The home is amazing, so clean and very posh. We are always made welcome when we visit. We missed the grand opening, but the pictures look great. We are looking forward to seeing what they put on for the residents next! Keep up the great work.

Mum spent two weeks at Charlton Lodge while we had a holiday. She was very comfortable and happy while staying there. She joined in with the activities, something we did not expect, made friends with other residents and enjoyed many films in the cinema. I felt the care team were interested in her, and they made the transition from home to care home so easy for me and reassuring for mum. The furnishings and facilities are second to none, and the cafe is a wonderful temptation in between meals. We have no hesitation in using the home in the future, knowing how wonderful Mum's care was.

My former partner stayed at Charlton Lodge for the whole of January 2025 whilst her permanent live-in carer took a well deserved and overdue holiday. I visited her several times in this month, and was always impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of every member of staff that I met and talked to. The facilities are excellent for both resident and visitor. The staff were attentive and professional with my former partner at all times, and she was happy and contented whilst at the home. I would be very happy for her to stay at this excellent care home again.

We could not have chosen a better care home. The staff are all incredibly kind and caring and show a genuine interest in their residents, family and friends. The home itself is beautiful and it's obvious a lot of thought has gone into making a homely atmosphere, with easy access to all areas. It's such a relief and comfort to see how our loved one is being looked after.

Every time we have visited the staff have been so friendly and welcoming. We have always been offered refreshments. All the staff we have met so far seem very kind and caring and definitely seem to have the residents needs and requirements as their priority. The home seems more like a hotel than a care home.

Staff always very welcoming whenever I visit, always offering refreshments, very kind and considerate. Facilities look very homely and residents appear very well cared for. Have been regularly visiting a friend, who is now a resident, and also recommended the facility to others, with another friend recently attending the stroke sufferers get together and my mother in law attending the dementia cafe / get together, both thoroughly enjoyed their time there.

My dad suddenly became quite unwell and I quickly had to find somewhere for him to be cared for. I looked around a few of the different homes in the area and I just got a good gut feeling as soon as I walked into Charlton Lodge. One staff member greeted me and was super friendly and gave me a detailed tour around the place answering any questions that I had. All of the staff that I've met have been very welcoming and have looked after my dad by putting his safety and best interests first. The manager has been very attentive at what my dad needs to make his recovery as quickly and smoothly as possible and has been amazing at keeping me in the loop as I don't currently live in the country. I could not recommend Charlton Lodge enough!

The care home is beautifully furnished and modern. My grandmother is extremely happy with the staff and services. All the staff are very friendly. They all have a personal relationship with residents and provide excellent care. It is very clean and tidy. In the summer it will be beautiful, there are plenty of outside spaces that allow for privacy. Would highly recommend.

I went to visit today and found the home to be such a friendly place. I was really surprised at how nice the home is. My friend has just moved into this nice care home. The home is brand new, lots of space. We spent all of our time in the cafe drinking coffee and cake. The staff were super friendly, some of the staff are from Wantage which was a lovely touch. My friend has settled well and I am looking forward to going back again next week. Thankfully there is a bus stop next to the home so easy to visit, the nice lady on reception checked the bus times for me. Thank you for your help.

I have settled in and am enjoying my time here very much. I feel very at home here in such a short time.

My mother recently went to this brand new care home becoming their first resident. Due to a fall some 3 days prior to the agreed date of her moving, I had to ask the staff if it would be possible for my mum to be admitted straight away rather than going to her local hospital. They couldn't have made it easier for me saying they would be ready for her. This was a huge relief as a hospital visit would have been so confusing. The care and management teams have been unbelievable since she arrived, and within a few days you could see the improvement in my mum's mind and general well being. She seems so more like her old self with a smile on her face and has so much to talk about, she loves the company and the beautiful surroundings of this "5 star hotel". You always worry about the effect a move like this can have on an elderly dependant, but upon review it has been the best thing for her. I feel confident that she will be well cared for,which is piece of mind for us all.

I cannot recommend this Care Home highly enough. From our initial, impromptu visit on one of their open days, to the day my mother-in-law moved in, everything was extremely well organised and smooth. It is a beautiful home. Everything has been carefully thought out and facilities are second to none. The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. They are very approachable and attentive. They care for not only the resident, but their family members too, ensuring everyone concerned is completely satisfied with all aspects of the care being given. I am happy because my mother-in-law is now safe and exceptionally well cared for.
