Stanway Green Lodge is situated in a quiet and picturesque area of Colchester. The family run home offers a very personal level of care and is an ideal place to stay if individuals are looking for a small, friendly and homely environment.

Please take a moment to visit the website, and in particular, the ‘Events’ page to read about all the latest news and events that have taken place at the home.

Due to the small nature of the home, the staff will truly know each person and understand all their individual needs. Service users are given every opportunity and the encouragement to follow hobbies and share interest in new ones. The comprehensive entertainment program features in-house activities as well as entertainers from outside.

Residents also have the opportunity to participate in organised trips and outings, allowing them to see local sights and visit places of interest.

The home believes strongly in maintaining links with the local community and as a result has contact with religious bodies (All Saints, Kingsland and Colchester Baptist Churches), students at Essex University and the Iceni Academy.

The home has two lounges with pleasant views of the garden as well a large dining room where all meals are served.

The attractive gardens with outside seating makes it ideal for relaxing in the summer months, as well as hosting the homes annual summer garden party.

I have lived here for over five years and have always been happy and contented. If I was not happy, I would not be here. The staff are lovely and very caring. The management goes above what is needed. Anything I ask for is given to me. I am very happy here.

I always receive a friendly welcome when I visit Stanway Green to see my relative. The staff all seem friendly and competent and obviously know the needs and requirements of the residents they look after. I like the fact that there are only 30 rooms as it makes it feel more of a home environment and
the gardens are well maintained and enjoyable for everyone. I am kept well informed about the health and requirements of my relative by the manager, and I know that I can contact them directly if I have any concerns. The home has been very patient with issues we have had to sort out funding, and this has been appreciated.

My mother (97) became a resident in January 2022 as she was becoming increasingly frail. She has settled in extremely well. The staff and management have been excellent in ensuring she is well looked after. They keep us fully informed of any health issues or other aspects of her care they feel we should
be aware of. They arrange numerous activities and this year. We had the garden party with a Rock & Roll theme in which relatives were actively encouraged to participate and my mother thoroughly enjoyed taking part in dancing and singing a duet with another resident. They encourage residents to visit and are relaxed if we take mum out for visits and trips.
Overall, we are delighted with the care my mother has received and cannot recommend the staff and management highly enough.

Lovely home. One of the best homes I have seen for a long time. Knowing that my father-in-law is safe and well looked after, gives me peace of mind. The place is kept clean, the gardens are lovely and so nice to sit outside in the sunshine.
My father-in-law is always on the phone telling me of the
great activities they do - he loves it!
The staff are brilliant, so polite and caring. Couldn't fault it if I tried.

Dad moved from Scotland to Stanway Green Lodge so quite an upheaval, to say the least. The team have been nothing less than welcoming and helpful from the moment Dad arrived. He settled in well and being allowed some personal items helped greatly. He enjoys getting to know others through activities
provided in a friendly environment, and yet he still enjoys the privacy of his own room and facilities. The team have also helped me with the transition of moving Dad into care and has provided me with good advice on several occasions. He is cared for very professionally by a great team. I am glad we chose Stanway for Dad and would definitely recommend to others.

My mother came to the home after a short hospital stay. She has settled in very quickly. Being allowed some of her furniture and personal possessions has helped her to feel at home. The owner and all of the staff are very friendly and professional.

When my aunt arrived at Stanway Green Lodge after being discharged from the hospital, her condition was much worse than either myself or the home manager had been led to believe.   
However, both the manager and staff were brilliant, and she was well cared for from the start, and her health did improve
quickly.
Throughout the time my aunt has been, she has received excellent care, and I cannot praise the staff enough.

Mum (92 years old) moved into Stanway Green Lodge in October 2018 following a life-changing fall. The staff and management/owner were fantastic. They were caring and considerate for both Mum's and our needs and concerns. Mum passed away within 24 hours of contracting bronchial pneumonia. All efforts
by staff to treat Mum (medication and nursing) were identified. Mum went peacefully in the care of one of the senior members of staff. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stanway Green Lodge.

I have found all the staff to be extremely friendly and caring. They are led effectively by the manager and deputy manager who know exactly what is going on and how all the residents are faring.
Activities are arranged every afternoon and all residents are encouraged - but not forced - to take part.
There are many special events organised throughout the year such as a Rock and Roll party, Chinese New Year celebrations, Shrove Tuesday pancake tasting, Red Nose Day, Christmas party, Summer Garden Party - to name but a few. Entertainers come and serenade the residents as well as visiting choirs, music groups and local schools. Residents’ relatives are always welcome to join these events!

My mother has been resident at Stanway Green Lodge for five weeks now. In such a short time she has settled in very well despite initial apprehension at leaving her home of 40 years. All the staff are friendly and patient and her needs are catered for in a caring manner. She enjoys the food and the
activities put on at the home. Her room is pleasant and furnished well and we have brought in personal articles to make it feel more like home for her.

My mother has been a resident at Stanway Green Lodge since November 2018. She settled in quickly and is very happy. The home has a lovely atmosphere and is very clean and bright. The staff are brilliant and so helpful and friendly. Food is good and there are regular activities for everyone to enjoy
as well as lovely gardens to look out on. I am very glad I chose this home for my mother and would certainly recommend it to others. 5 * care!

My mother has been a resident since July 2018 and the standard of care she has received in that time has been excellent. I have visited at least twice a week and all the management and staff I have met and seen as they go about their duties are very friendly, attentive and caring. The atmosphere is
welcoming and homely and I have total confidence that Mum will continue to be well looked after for as long as she remains at Stanway Green Lodge.

I was completely satisfied with the care my mother received.
It's been a very sad time for myself and my family, but all the staff at Stanway Green Lodge made that sad time as comfortable for us and our mum as it could have possibly been.
As a family, we thank them all from the bottom of our hearts.

The staff have been extremely good in helping my dad to settle in after he came out of the hospital. As he says himself, “nothing is too much trouble.” There is a lovely welcoming and homely atmosphere. He loves the food! It has been a huge relief to find that he is so comfortable and happy there.

My aunt received excellent care. All staff were friendly and caring and treated her with dignity and respect at all times. The food was tasty and well prepared. My aunt said the cook was excellent and when she became unable to swallow a normal diet, they ensured they had soft food for her and tried
to find food that would tempt her to eat, ordering desserts especially for her. The manager came to speak to her every day and even bought her some word search books to enjoy.
They have various activities for the residents to participate in as they wish, for example, a knitting group, cooking, planting of containers and visits from the local primary school which the residents and pupils seem to enjoy. The atmosphere of the home is welcoming and calm. Sadly, my aunt passed away but this was peaceful and the staff were caring of her and us to the very end.

My aunt, a widow with dementia, has been resident at Stanway Lodge since September 2017. I cannot praise them enough. They look after her very well, she can be difficult living in the past, wandering and wanting to go out, but with care and patience. they have got her settled. She is comfortable and
has made friends and they look after her physical condition and mental health very well. They give individual care depending on the needs of the residents and have a good range of activities to entertain them.


My mother was at this same home 8 years ago and it has the same owners a family run business and some of the same staff, which I think says a great deal about how the place is run. I have no hesitation recommending it and my sister and I hope it is still running when our turn comes as we would be happy to live there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for Stanway Green Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.917 for Stanway Green Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (122 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 Stanway Green Lodge is based on 11 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 11 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.
