My mum has been a resident at Stanborough since early April. She settled in very well straight away and this I believe is due to the very kind, welcoming nature of Jo the manager.

Having a parent with complex care needs is incredibly challenging. When Mum became a resident she was in a bad place physically and emotionally after a very long hospital stay. Jo & her team worked incredibly hard to stabilise her & have gone above and beyond in the two months she has been a resident. Additional support, referrals, safeguarding, working collaboratively with us - they have put in place everything that she needs to the live the rest of her life comfortably and peacefully. Through their sustained efforts, the team have taken us from absolute crisis point as a family, to feeling fully confident our Mum is in safe hands. I don't believe any other team could have turned things around for Mum, and I will be forever grateful for what they have done (and continue to do) for us.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. What a lovely review you shared. Moving from hospital to a care home can be an emotional time, we're glad we could provided a safe and comfortable environment for your Mum at Stanborough Lodge. Your feedback means a great deal to our team and your kind words are truly appreciated. Warm regards

Meet Joanna Sage – Registered Manager at Stanborough Lodge Care Home:
Joanna Sage’s journey into care began with a deeply personal experience: supporting a family member in need. That early exposure sparked a lifelong passion for helping others, especially older people, and laid the foundation for her career in care.Joanna joined Stanborough Lodge in 2021 as a Care Coordinator. Her dedication and leadership quickly shone through, earning her a promotion to Deputy Manager by November of the same year. In May 2023, she proudly became the Home’s Registered Manager after completing her Level 5 qualification and successfully passing the rigorous CQC interview. She credits the unwavering support of the RMD Care Directors for believing in her and encouraging her every step of the way.
What Joanna Loves Most:
Joanna thrives on the strong sense of teamwork at Stanborough Lodge. “It feels like it's home from home,” she says, “not just a workplace.” Together, the team creates a warm, welcoming environment where residents feel safe, valued, and truly cared for.
A Meaningful Milestone:
Under Joanna’s leadership, the home has gone from strength to strength. She’s especially proud of the strong relationships her team has built with residents’ families, an achievement that reflects her commitment to open communication and compassionate care.
How Her Team Sees Her:
Fun, energetic, hardworking, and supportive—Joanna is known for lifting team morale and boosting confidence. Her leadership style is rooted in empathy and encouragement.
A Memory That Stands Out:
Joanna recalls welcoming a nervous new resident on their first day. She spent time getting to know them, showing them around, and chatting about their interests. By the end of the day, they were smiling and relaxed—a moment that reminded her of the power of kindness and patience.
What “Quality Care” Means to Joanna:
“To me, quality care is all about kindness, respect, and patience,” Joanna explains. “It’s about treating each resident as an individual, listening to what matters to them, and making them feel safe and valued. Reliability and compassion are key—so families know they can trust us.”
A Message to Families:
“When families come to view Stanborough Lodge, I want them to feel reassured and welcomed. Their loved one will be cared for with genuine kindness and attention to what matters most. As a family-run home, we pride ourselves on creating a caring community where every resident feels at home.”
