Care Homes Owned by Tanglewood Care Homes in Lancashire

I cannot express fully how pleased I am about the care my dad receives from the moment he arrived the staff have shown genuine kindness, patience and respect, not only towards dad, but also towards our whole family. Every member of the team is warm, attentive and professional. It is clear that they truly care about the residents as individuals. Dad is treated with dignity, compassion and good humour, which has made the world of difference to his well being and our peace of mind. The atmosphere is calm and friendly. There is always someone there to help, listen or simply offer a smile. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care staff provide every single day.

Abbey Wood Lodge has very much improved since Tanglewood has managed the care home. Firstly, a warm welcome on arrival - easy check-in system. Staff acknowledge with a friendly approach. My mother is happy, well cared for, with support to meet her needs. Entertainment is very important, and mum has a list of weekly activities, which she enjoys very much at 96. For mum to be happy and well looked after is all we ask for.

My mother's stay at this facility was appalling. Promised dementia care was replaced by neglect and disregard. She wasn't washed, wore unchanged clothes/underwear for days despite clean ones being available and her hearing aid was ignored-isolating her further. She was left alone in her room, excluded from activities, and a trip hazard I reported was ignored. Her PRN medication was mishandled: they failed to administer it appropriately, and no PRN protocol was attached to her MAR chart. Conditions for use, frequency, and outcome monitoring were undocumented-a clear breach of safe practice. I witnessed a care assistant shouting aggressively at a vulnerable wheelchair-bound resident; when I intervened, she turned her aggression on me. I removed my mother early out of fear for her safety and wellbeing. This was not care-it was systemic failure. I've filed complaints and urge others to reconsider this facility.

I would like to express my gratitude to the excellent care given to my mother in law and from what I have witnessed to the other residents in the care home. I would like to signal out one person who in my opinion and the rest of the family for her professional and caring nature especially her attention to detail, Senior Carer. Thank you so much.

My husband spent one week at Abbey Wood Lodge while I had a rest bite break. This was the first time I had done this. My husband had a spotless bedroom and he commented that the food was excellent during his stay. He enjoyed the company of the carriers and occasionally took part in the activities that were available such as potting plants and keep fit exercises. I would certainly recommend Abbey Wood Lodge.

I'd like to thank everyone for all the kindness and support provided towards my Mum, during the initial few weeks of her transition, into becoming part of Abbey Wood's clientele. It was clear to me nothing was deemed to much trouble. Fundamentally, everything possible is done to promote a happy home which offered a warm welcome to Mum. This prompted and encouraged Mum to engage with everyone around her. This was absent in her previous home.

Outstanding support for my mother. My mother has dementia and she thinks she is staying in a five star hotel on holiday she is so happy. The carers take excellent care of my mother and always note her welfare and inform myself and brothers. Safeguarding is superb reception always ensuring visitors book in and checkout. When I took my mother to hospital appointments they ensured that she was booked out and in. My mother said she loves the food and activities The manager is outstanding and carers and reception are as well. My family are very pleased with Abbey Wood Lodge. The activities that take place are fantastic and lots of residents take part. We are so pleased that our mother is so happy and well cared for.

I visit my friend most Thursday mornings & have done since she became a resident. She is happy at Abbey Wood Lodge, enjoys the food & finds the staff to be kind, caring & helpful. She doesn't always want to join in activities but the staff alow her to opt in & out as she wishes & don't put her under pressure to participate. She enjoys the exercise classes, trips out & musical entertainment provided. Having her hair done each week is also something she enjoys. Personally I have the greatest respect for ALL staff from carers to management, caretakers to kitchen & laundry workers. They have a difficult job to do & they do it in a friendly & caring manner, demonstrating patience & understanding, ready to comfort & reassure.

Due to a marked decline in my mothers mental health over Chistmas 2024 . we had to find a care home for her at short notice but which had a good reputation in Ormskirk. On speaking to the team at Abbey Wood they were able to facilitate her arrival on New Years eve 2024. Over the following months her condition has improved considerably due to the staffs endeavours and she now feels at home. She has always been independent and we are amazed how quickly she has settled. The staff are excellent and there are activities almost daily which my mother participates in. We were introduced to a man who is overall responsible for the home. He has helped us as a family navigate the process of our mum living at the Abbey Wood Lodge. We are kept updated about how she is settling by him and his team. My mum loves the carers who look after her and also the hairdresser who visits weekly. I cannot recommend Abbey Wood Lodge Highly enough.

There are some lovely genuine carers in this home but these are overshadowed by really poor management. These genuine carers need to move on elsewhere otherwise I am sure in time this home will have a known disgusting reputation! I would not recommend this home mainly due to the management.

DO NOT send your loved ones to Abbey wood Lodge, unless you want to be in a constant state of distress. Their senior and management team are an absolute disgrace. This review page and overall CQC ratings are based years old reports from when different management was employed. They DO NOT care about residents ! (this does not apply to some of the actual care team who work with residents directly) The CEO is well aware of the severe failings of this place as he has been there recently himself. But as is 90% of the senior/management team he's about as useful as a wet paper bag.

My mum was previously in a great care home, but increasing dementia meant we had to find a more suitable new place. We were concerned that it would be hard to find a placement that matched the standards of her previous home, but we need not have worried. Abbey Wood Lodge has proved to be excellent. A particular strength is the quality of the staff, who all seem to be warm, friendly, professional and competent. I'd highly recommend this establishment.

Mum enjoyed most meals, fish and chips being her favourite. She spoke of how lovely and helpful all the staff were, and was treated with kindness and dignity, throughout her stay, she would be happy to return in the future for further respite care. Myself and family were warmly welcomed when we visited, by management and all members of the team.

My friend moved to Abbey Wood in July this year and the difference in her life has been amazing, she is so contented and has settled in really well. She loves the food and very friendly staff, also the activity program. Myself and my wife visit her twice a week and we are made very welcome. We can't praise it highly enough.

From our initial viewing, we have always been warmly welcomed with cheerful, happy staff. This greeting has been the catalyst for the way staff care for all residents at all times. Nothing is a trouble to anyone, from domestic staff to the manager. A very caring team in a wonderful environment for the vulnerable, sensitive residents, who in their old age, dependent on strangers are given the best care.

My husband's uncle has lived in Abbey Wood Lodge for the last 4 years, during which time it has become his home and the staff his family. They have cared for him and supported him throughout this time. When it became apparent end-of-life care was needed the staff continued to care for him and support us through this process. The kindness shown by all staff has been greatly appreciated and we couldn't praise the home highly enough.

On the face of it, the care home appeared to be an ideal place to look after mum, however, our experience was very different.

Abbie Wood Lodge is a very good care home. My gran has been there for almost two years and the care is very good and the carers are lovely and very helpful. The manager is very good, my nan is very happy there and has made many friends.

My mum has been a resident since November, it was a huge and hard decision for our family to make for my mum. But her care she receives is excellent, the staff are so supportive and really personable. We know our mum is safe and all her needs are taken care of.

Thank you!
