Cwello Lodge

The company behind Cwello Lodge

Cwello Lodge is run by Time 4 U Ltd (company 07688194), incorporated in 2011, 13 years before this service registered with CQC.

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 1 active director and there is no insolvency history.

Its registered business activity is care for people with learning disabilities, mental health problems or substance misuse and other social work without accommodation.

Time 4 U Ltd runs 2 CQC-registered services across 2 council areas; 2 of the 2 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (100%), against 86% for the same mix of services across England.

Around Southampton

Choice is wide here: the 25 nearest other care homes are all within 3 miles, 18 of them rated Good or Outstanding, and the closest is St Katherine Care Home, under 0.5 miles away.

It is registered for needs that fewer services nearby cover: learning disabilities (4 of the nearest 25).

10 of the 22 nearest rated care homes have a more recent rating than this one.

It sits in Bitterne Park ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 50% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a pharmacy (4 min), a shop (4 min), a park (7 min), a café (6 min), a bus stop (3 min) and a railway station (5 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.

Likely fees

We estimate Cwello Lodge at £1,400–£1,710 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £73k–£89k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Southampton Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.

Cwello Lodge over the years

CQC registration dates from November 2024, so the service has been operating for around 1 year under its current registration.

CQC has published 4 overall ratings for it (2015–2021), starting at Good and staying Good every time.

At 5 years old, the rating may not reflect the current team. CQC prioritises higher-risk services, so ask about recent changes rather than assuming the worst.

Note that a different provider ran the service when it was rated; the current one has not been inspected here so far.

The ratings in context

All five areas CQC looks at are rated Good for Cwello Lodge: no single area stands out above or below the rest.

For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 38 of the 47 other care homes in Southampton that CQC has rated.
