A lovely home where my grandpa has settled well. He is clearly very well looked after by kind and caring staff. I attended for a Halloween party today which was upbeat and fun and my grandpa and other family members enjoyed!

My mum's time at Stanborough Lodge was short but I've never seen her happier. She particularly enjoyed the parties. She was suffering from dementia and the care she received was exemplary.

My Dad has now been a resident of Stanborough Lodge for a year. He is really happy and it is definitely his home and the other residents and staff his family and friends. He benefits so much from the activities designed to promote memory and movement, social interaction and wellbeing. Before he moved into the home it felt like we were losing him to dementia. Now with the outstanding care we feel like we have him back. I cannot rate Stanborough Lodge, Joanna and her team highly enough. Just wonderful!
Thank you for your kind words. I will share your positive feedback to all my team at Stanborough Lodge. Kind regards

My Father moved in to the home in April 2025, this was a big move for us both from living in his own flat to moving to residential care, the experience from the initial enquiry was outstanding and has continued to be for the whole time he has been a resident.
The Registered Manager is extremely knowledgeable, supportive and remains in regular Communication, any queries are responded to quickly and efficiently.
The staff team is small, offering continuity of Care, you can see they genuinely care and treat all residents with kindness and compassion.The staff respond quickly to any change in care needs and keep me updated, it is clear they have excellent communication between them as every member of staff knows exactly what is happening, they.
The home has activities in place which are inclusive to the residence, their family and friends. The staff are always smiling and enthusiastic and keen to make sure everyone enjoys themselves.
I cannot recommend this home highly enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback. It is our pleasure to care for your Dad. Best Wishes.

We were so pleased to find Stanborough Lodge to care for our mother in the final stage of her life. The caring shown by the manager and all the team was outstanding and we knew that everything possible was being done to meet our mother's needs and keep her comfortable. Although the home lacks the facilities of some larger care homes, we felt that the warm, homely atmosphere suited our mother better than a more hotel style environment. We had the sense of it being a very happy place, where the lovely staff know all the residents really well and provide truly personalised care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the care we provide. We are truly glad that you feel supported and cared for. We also want to express our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Mum. Please know that we are here to support you through this difficult time. If there's anything you need or any way we can help you remember and honor her, you can please let us know. Warm regards.
My relative has been a resident from April 2025. Manager and staff are friendly and attentive at all times. I am particularly impressed by the regular social events and activities what are very inclusive. I like the fact the home is small, homely and facilitates a homely atmosphere.

When my sister and myself first walked into this care home. We immediately felt a warm and friendly atmosphere present. We have never regretted choosing here for our stepfather to live in his twilight years. The management and staff are exceptional. Father was happy here, so well looked after until his recent passing. I would have no hesitate in recommending this care home to anyone in search of a safe, lovely care home for their parent to stay in.

My dad spent a year at Stanborough Lodge before unfortunately passing away this January. The care and compassion shown by the staff has been outstanding both during his stay and since he died. I can not recommend Stanborough Lodge highly enough.

The manager spent time getting to know him and his needs and as soon as the right room was available it was fully redecorated. He moved in and had his own pictures on the walls, plenty of storage for all his things and all the attention and support he needed.
Of course he had a few ups and downs as he settled in, but he was well supported and really hasn't looked back! He loves all the entertainments and activities (even parties). He's a big fan of the food and the level of care is second to none. The manager goes above and beyond to look after my dad and us.
It's such a well run place with very consistent staff who feel like a real team and seem always happy and welcoming. It's small enough to feel homely and comfortable but big enough to cope and have everything it needs. It's very clean and very well maintained.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Our staff are truly dedicated to providing the best possible experiences for all our residents and your appreciation means a lot to us. It's always rewarding to know that our efforts make positive impact. We are grateful for your support. Thanks a lot
My father-in-law has settled in really well to this home. It is a great size (not too small or big), very helpful and friendly staff, issues and concerns (not many) are sorted efficiently. The staff put on a wide range of activities. Overall I am very pleased with this care home.

The staff look after my Nan very well, she can be a little difficult but they take it all in stride. The room is always clean and tidy and the grounds are nice, there are a lot of activities available. My Nan doesn't think much of the food however!

This is due to the individual care and support from the Manager and her wonderful Staff. I'm regularly kept updated of any changes in my mother's health. Her room and laundry is beautifully looked after. The Home has a lovely, warm atmosphere and I'm always welcomed by Staff during regular visits.
This is a very special place.
Thank you very much for your kind words and positive review! It was our pleasure to care for your Mum. Warm wishes.
My mother has been a resident for around a year and I am very happy with her care. The team are very caring and keeps me updated on everything that is going on. My mother enjoys one-to-one activities and they ensure that she gets that.

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.”
