Stanborough Lodge

Very friendly and professional. A joy to see my father looking so well. They care deeply for their residents. Always ready to help me with any difficulty with him. Their parties and activities are a joy and I know all the residents enjoy them.

My dad has been a resident for almost two months now and he has settled in wonderfully well. The staff are so caring and patient and can't do enough for him. There are constant activities so the residents don't become bored. It's like a big family all living together. Visitors are made to feel very welcome and part of the family.

I've always found the carers very attentive to his needs and always do their best to look after him.

The manager was extremely helpful too, helping with all kinds of things and always very communicative.

An outstanding care home with staff and management that clearly care. Mum has been a resident for nearly 2 years and we are so happy with the support and service she (and us) receive.

My mother spent two weeks of respite care in Stanborough Lodge - her first experience of staying in a care home. The manager made a lot of effort to ensure that the room met her mobility needs. All the staff were very welcoming, kind and caring towards my mother. My husband and I were able to go on holiday, confident that she was being well looked after. Space permitting, we hope to make a repeat booking in a few months.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Stanborough Lodge. We are so grateful for their support during what has been a very challenging period. We trust them explicitly and know, based on first-hand experience, how hard they work to provide the best level of care for all their residents.

My thanks and appreciation to all the staff at Stanborough Lodge for the dedication and kindness they have shown in caring for my mum over the past two years. Sadly, my mum passed away in early January 2024, but the professionalism and support of the staff over the two years have been exceptional. What was a very difficult last year for my mum was made the best it could be by the empathy shown by everyone, not only my mum but also me. I felt totally reassured that all her needs were met. The staff are very well trained and work as a team. I could not have asked for better care for my mum. Stanborough Lodge is a happy, friendly, caring place to be.

Such a happy and friendly place.

As a friend of a resident at Stanborough Lodge, I m always given a warm welcome when I visit, I’m escorted to her room and the nurse/carer always asks if there is anything she needs, the registered home manager does a wonderful job managing the home, where the residents are nurtured in a very warm, safe and secure environment.

My sister-in-law is very happy at Stanborough Lodge and I couldn't have chosen a better place for her to live. The staff are so caring.

I would like to express my deepest thanks to the registered home manager and all the staff at Stanborough Lodge for the care and time spent with Mum. My mother sadly passed over on Saturday 2nd September 2023, aged 103. Her last few years were made easier for her, being there, they are a really dedicated group of carers, it must be tough to do what they do everyday but they cope really well. Food is home cooked to a very high standard, also never any complaints from mum. The home itself is always clean and fresh, very homely, more like an old fashioned guest house. No regrets and a good choice from us. Thank you all again from all my mother's family.

Mum has now been at Stanborough Lodge for over six months and we honestly feel that she couldn’t be in a better place. It was difficult for Mum to transition and settle initially but the staff were supportive and it was clear to us that they really care and are flexible around Mum's needs. Their communication with us was reassuring as this first part was difficult for us too. The communication has continued to be excellent. Mum is clearly happy now she has settled and we feel welcomed and ‘part of the family’ when we visit. It is a relief to see the same friendly and welcoming staff faces each time and seeing Mum’s reaction to the staff reassures us that she is well looked after and with a sense of humour too! Mum enjoys getting involved with the activities and it’s good to see them going from strength to strength as new ideas and events are introduced that clearly keep residents entertained and their families included.

My mother spent four weeks in respite care at Stanborough Lodge and, as a family, we were so relieved to have found a place so caring and safe for her, in which to recover. The manager is the best of any I have encountered, taking a personal interest in all the residents' welfare. Mum's room was lovely and the staff very kind and gentle in their approach. I cannot recommend this home enough.

My auntie has enjoyed life so much more since she's come to Stanborough Lodge, the best decision we've made for her.

After viewing other facilities for my mum that were much larger and part of a chain of care homes, I immediately felt differently when I walked through the door at Stanborough Lodge. This place felt warm, friendly and homely. We decided to place Mum here initially for two weeks of respite care, and we quickly realised she needed more care than we thought and has now been a resident for almost three months. From day one, we were impressed with the staff and how they handled a very difficult situation. The current manager is an excellent communicator, and nothing has been too much trouble; everything has been dealt with speedily and efficiently considering Mum moved from a different county. It’s great to see the same faces when we visit, and we are always made to feel very welcome. Thank you.

Since coming to Stanborough Lodge, my mum has settled in well. I feel she is being very well looked after and cared for. She is always neat and tidy, and it's very nice someone comes in to do her hair and nails. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Mum recently passed away, and I can not thank everyone at the Lodge enough for the loving, caring, and dignified way in which they looked after Mum on her final journey. Mum enjoyed her time there, and my sister and I were always made to feel welcome and as though we were visiting Mum's home rather than a care home.

Thank you so much.

And finally, this is a quiet and restful home, with no constant alarms and buzzers; the management and staff make a 'home-from-home' with their kindness and consideration. Strongly recommended.
