Colonia Court offers nursing, residential and dementia care, as well as having a dedicated unit for people living with Huntington’s disease. It can also offer a space for people to rest, relax and recover with short stays too.

Whatever the reason, their doors are open.

My mother was admitted to Paxman House, Colonia Court (CC) Care Home, from Colchester Hospital in December 2025, and discharged home in June 2026. She was admitted on the basis that her numerous, prevailing health conditions were such that she required end of life support. Fortunately, that...
Myself and other close family visited on a weekly basis so had deep visibility of the home and its staff. I can say that we found all staff to be capable, professional and kind. Residents received high calibre support with their needs - medical, basic care and social - very well catered for. I could see the warmth and kindness from staff and the care and kindness that they showed for the residents. The environment was a happy one, spotlessly clean, with good catering provided. Family also received support, kindness & respect.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We are so happy that your Mother has recovered enough to return to her home after her stay with us at Colonia Court. We will certainly pass your kind words on to the whole team.
Thank you

I have nothing but good to say about Mumford House. The love, care and respect each and every one of the staff show my Mum is just wonderful. We are truly grateful to them all.

Professional care given by the staff is very good. The facilities and entertainment are very pleasing. I would recommend this place for everyone who is looking for care. Especially nursing care. My wife has been in Colonia Court for more than 24 months now.

The staff...
The staff are wonderful because they really do care and are a stable team. Mum has developed a good relationship with them all and enjoys the banter and interest they take in her. I enjoy visiting and am made to feel welcome . I am always impressed by the frequency and creativity of the activities which mum can choose to join in. The option to see photos of Mum during activities is really welcome , especially if you are not in a position to visit as much as you would like. Not everything runs perfectly all the time but that reflects life. The motivation and the care is there and that's what's important. Whilst I praise the staff credit should also go to the management and teams behind the scenes too

After visiting this home for over a year I can definitely say that my brother is cared for in a safe and clean environment, he is well looked after by staff who put his dignity and support foremost, everyone is friendly that we have met and pays interest in not just my brother (Stephen) previous life but the family, so it all fills me with confidence.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are happy to hear you feel like a part of our Colonia Court family and that you are confident your brother is well cared for.

My daughter has been a resident of Colonia Court Care Home for almost 3 years. In that time, my wife and I have only seen love and care shown to all the residents. Everyone of the staff show a level of care which is second to none, sometimes in very challenging situations. The unit at Amber Lodge is led by a very caring and experienced manager. We would highly recommend this care home to anybody who is looking for a safe and caring environment for a loved one.
Thank you for your kind review. It is always lovely to hear our home described in this way. Thank you again for choosing Colonia Court for your daughters care.

After a very upsetting stay at a previous home, we are delighted with the care, attitude, help and friendliness from all the staff in Paxman house, since my mother in law moved in a few weeks ago. Everyone we have spoken to, from the reception, and office staff to all the care and nursing staff has been so helpful.The food is lovely, and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. The cleanliness is good, and the facilities are also good. My Mother in law has just had her hair done in their salon, and was so happy after it. She is back to enjoying her food, and just generally seems to be in a much better place, than she has been for a while.They also have great activities for the residents to take part in, if they wish to do so. It also seems a safely run home, and seems to be secure at all times.We attended a meeting yesterday for Residents/visitors etc, and again were very happy with the way everything was explained to us by the staff, would recommend to anyone.
It's always encouraging to read reviews like this. We are proud to have such a compassionate team and we're glad this has shone though in your experience. Your comments are a testament to the dedication of everyone in the home. We want our home to feel like a community, and it's wonderful to hear that you feel a part of it. We are looking forward to seeing you again.
We have been very impressed with the care home so far, been visiting for 4 months and have been very welcomed, the care is excellent, the cleanliness is excellent and my Aunt is very happy there. Thank you!

My daughter was taken to Colonia Court from hospital and was treated with great respect and has settled in better than I thought. Wonderful staff. They told me everything that was happening to my daughter every step of the way and I was made to feel welcome.

I visit my friend twice weekly and find most staff very pleasant. I think they are getting to understand my friend now, being unable to move unassisted, she can get very frustrated and has been misunderstood in the past! However, 4 months later, all seems to be fine...
I visit my friend twice weekly and find most staff very pleasant. I think they are getting to understand my friend now, being unable to move unassisted, she can get very frustrated and has been misunderstood in the past! However, 4 months later, all seems to be fine and the staff dismiss that now and are really kind. I found the food/drink difficult as I have never seen the meal; she is on a S.A.L.T. diet.

We visited the care home on 20th August 2025 to take part in a small celebration for my sister's 90th birthday. Both my wife and I thought that the staff helped to make the occasion special. Guests attending the party were made to feel welcome and comfortable. Teas and coffees were made throughout the event and help was on hand with passing round the sandwiches and cakes provided by my niece. Our experience on the day reflects the feeling we have had on a number of visits to Colonia Court that the staff provide an excellent level of care to my sister and to my brother-in-law who is also a resident, doing so with good humour, compassion and professionalism. Thank you.

A big concern of ours when we made the hard decision that our dear mum needed proper permanent care. We could not have wished for a better place for her (Mumford House) the staff are great and so good with mum and she is well looked after. The food is also good and tasty and served at regular times. Her room is comfortable and safe, and she is slowly settling in after a couple of months. It puts our minds at rest now knowing she is safe and well cared for every day.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your Mum in our care. It is always nice to hear words like "Great" being used to describe our Staff. We hope to continue providing your Mum with the best possible care.

My Auntie was admitted to Colonia Court Paxman House 4 weeks ago with terminal Cancer. I can not put into words the excellent care she received. The love shown to her each time the staff walked into her room was amazing she loved them all. All the family also received the same love and support always making sure everyone was eating and drinking and taking rest whenever they could and even a hug when they could see it was needed. We as a family will be forever be gratefull for how they made the last 4 weeks of her life so much better. How do you thank them for that.
