CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Aveley Lodge is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 28-bed residential care home in Colchester, run by Parmenter Care LLP. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in September 2018. Before that, in March 2017, it was rated Requires improvement. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 48% of homes in Essex. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2026. That is true of 89% of homes in Essex.
