Care Homes Owned by Stow Healthcare Group in Essex

I cannot speak highly enough of Horkesley Manor and would recommend it to anyone who has to make the traumatic decision to put themselves or a loved one into care.Mike the care home manager always goes above and beyond and is so approachable and really cares for the residents and their family. All the staff have been fantastic in how they look after my mum who has advanced vascular dementia. They treat her with dignity and kindness and keep me informed of any developments with her.

On behalf of my daughter Emma and myself, we wish to thank you and all those involved

My husband moved into Weavers Grange in March 2026, originally for respite, but now is staying permanently. He has settled in and is very content. The staff are very attentive and gently alert to his needs. I find the atmosphere is very welcoming.

The team are fantastic, caring and supportive.

I just want to thank Horksley Manor for all the Care & Dignity the staff gave my Mum when she was there. So supportive and caring and made my Mum so comfortable in her last days. Even once she'd passed away they were supportive of me and my family. Nothing was too much and the care was second to none. Such a lovely care home and would promote to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation ,making my Mum's last two weeks her most comfortable and pain free. Lovely support from all who work there.

My mum went to weavers grange to be assessed.she stayed from the 25th of February to the 20th of April 2026.what can I say.the care home was brilliant.all the staff were so good.the level of care could not have been better.i was blown away by how good everything was.mum only came out because it was a 35 round trip and the fuel costs and travelling was taking it's toll.if we lived closer I would have been more than happy for mum to stay there for the rest of her life.if you live closer and are looking for a care home for your self or a loved one do your self a massive favour and get your self or loved one ln weavers grange as soon as you can.

A big thank you to all the excellent staff.

I was very happy with the service provided. Mother was well cared for and the experience of respite care was positive. Mother was treated well and a well-known hot drink was provided especially for her bedtime drink. We will definitely consider using the home in the future.

My father sadly passed away at the home, but while he was there he was treated with great dignity & respect at all times. I would highly recommend Horkesley Manor to others seeking excellent care for their loved ones.

My father in law moved into Cedars Place in December 2025. We were really happy with the care he received and the support given to the family. All the staff were so kind and always had time for a chat with him. The home is very clean, I would highly recommend.

I felt my dad spent his final days in a warm, comfortable environment. The home is a lovely care home that I have experienced. The staff looked after Dad well. Thank you.

Overall I highly recommend Halstead Hall to anyone considering residential care for a family member, friend or themselves.

Halstead Hall has been amazing for my Mother. We initially placed my Mum there for respite care following a second fall just before Christmas in December 2024.

It was quickly apparent that Mum (who did not initially want to go into a care home) was in safe hands. The care she received has been amazing. We converted the respite care to permanent resident in February 2025 with my Mum's agreement.

All the staff have been wonderful and the care home always keep as fully informed. Lisa in the front office along with all the management team have been fantastic. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do is to allow someone else to provide the primary care for my ageing Mother. But Lisa and the Team immediately gave me the support and confidence in this transition.

I could not express my gratitude enough for the lovely care and the safe environment that is provided for my Mother and the residents of Halstead Hall.

He has been treated with respect and dignity at all times from the care staff and the management are always there to check on him and also us his family as it's been a worrying time getting my dad settled into the home so we are very pleased with cedars place

We have got to know some of the key staff and have found them to be personable, diligent and professional in all respects. We are very glad we chose this home. I would be more than happy to recommend this home to anyone who is in need of arranging care for a relative.

Staff and always greeted by Lisa who is always warm, kind, friendly and engaging.

Lisa always makes that extra effort. Dedicated and professional lady who tends to know everything that is going on around her and very aware of residents likes / dislikes etc.

The care home is very good very well polite carers and always doing there best to help and would recommend it to any one looking for a care home in the future. My mother has been here for 3 years I get on with the member of staff

All of the staff without exception have been professional, caring, compassionate and friendly and have guided us through this transition period and my mum is so happy and most of all feels safe and secure

Very friendly staff, warm and welcoming home. The home has been dramatically improved over recent years. Dad enjoys his time at the home joining in with activities when he is able. Would highly recommend Halstead Hall.

We cannot thank you all enough for making a comfortable, caring and loving home for everybody who lives there and will not hesitate to recommend you.
