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. ?
Cleaveland Lodge is one of 395 care homes in Essex: a 54-bed residential care home in Colchester, run by Ashrana Limited. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In August 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in November 2020, was Inadequate, so the home has improved. 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. 237 other homes in Essex share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in September 2025. That is true of 89% of homes in Essex.
