Review of
Longridge Hall
from K A (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum made her own decision to look for a care home as she didn't like living alone after my Dad died and at over 90 felt that she wanted more permanent support in her daily living. She visited Longridge Hall for lunch and to spend the afternoon with some other residents, joining in with the afternoon's

activities. She was made to feel very welcome by both staff and other residents so after returning home she soon made the decision to put her name down for a room at Longridge Hall. She has been a resident for just over a year now. She has settled in well, has a nice room, and has made friends with other residents. She particularly enjoys the opportunities for trips out in the minibus. The staff look after her needs perfectly while respecting and encouraging her independence. She is still able to enjoy outings with the family which the staff also encourage. She knows she has made the right decision.

Longridge Hall
from L R (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

It was a difficult decision for mum to move into a care home .but for her safety, and wellbeing it was the right choice. She has now been at Longridge Hall for 8 months and settled in straight away. The staff are absolutely wonderful with her -the care, attention and kindness they show is truly amazing.

They've also been incredibly helpful and supportive with us, nothing is ever too much trouble, we are so grateful for the peace of mind this has given us. We would definitely recommend Longridge Hall to anyone looking for a warm,caring environment for their loved one.

Overall Experience

My experience as a relative is largely positive. I feel the care given to my father is caring and appropriate. He informs me he is happy where he is and feels he is comfortable with the care given although he does inform me that at times he does feel lonely.

Overall Experience

Friendly staff, clean bedrooms and en-suites and communal areas.
My Mum could do to have the staff remind her every day to change her underwear, as no laundry seems to go in her laundry basket in her room.

Review of
Longridge Hall
from Gail H (Wife of Resident) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My husband has been in Longridge Hall for nearly 12 months. In the that time his condition has deteriorated quite significantly. Despite this the staff still go out of their way to meet his needs and ensure he retains his dignity.
Staff are very aware of the individual needs of all residents and treat

everyone with respect.
The staff go above and beyond to ensure the residents are not only well looked after but also cared for.
The home respond's to changing needs and puts measures into place to ensure safety of all residents.
My husbands personal care is taken care of and he is always clean and well presented.
Despite his advanced dementia and lack of communication he is still valued and every effort is made to keep him happy and smiling.
I am very happy with the way the staff are so caring, kind and compassionate with all residents.
I choose Longridge Hall for my husband and I am still happy with my choice after almost a year.

Overall Experience

My husband has settled in nicely and interacts with all staff and speaks fondly of the care and time they give him. He gets all medication on time checking regularly on any pain he may have and acts on it immediately. They check his skin and its better than it has been for a long time. I myself am

more relaxed knowing how well they look after him when I'm not there. Everything is calm all staff speak to us and smile making it look so easy, which shows all the effort that they put in. Well done x

Review of
Ribble Court
from P T (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I was the LPA for a gentleman who was in Ribble Court as a CHC resident for over two years due to his deteriorating health condition that resulted him in no longer being able to live in his sheltered accommodation upon hospital discharge in 2023 until his passing in May 2025. The care he received was

not only medically excellent but the care and compassion shown by all staff in making him feel safe settled secure and loved by all during his last years and his resulting quality of life was something that I will be eternally grateful and thankful for. The manager and all her team were not only incredible in how they looked after the gentleman but they were also very helpful to me in dealing with all his affairs and external agencies.
Thank you to all at Ribble Court.

Reply from Sarah Mason, Clinical Lead at Ribble CourtThank you so much for your lovely review I will make sure I pass this onto all the staff, it was a pleasure to help support you and the resident who resided with us.

from John B (Husband of Resident) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My experience of Ribble Court has always been positive since my wife came there in spring 2024.
Over the weekend 14/15 June she developed a chest infection following a cold- nothing was too much trouble and staff were very attentive, contacting me and getting the meds she needed as soon as possible.

She is now improving. She settled in well and the family believe she is happy.

Review of
Fleetwood Hall
from Bryan R (Son of Resident) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother moved to Fleetwood Hall in January 2025 and was in a terrible condition. Five months later my mum has a smile on her face, is cared for very well enjoys the food, loves the staff has experienced days out that have been organised like the circus, and fish and chips. Loved the pony visits to

the home. All the staff from the management, admin, activities organiser, carers. cooks have been brilliant and caring it also enables me as a son to relax knowing my mum is safe, and entertained, while I am not there and most of all cared for.

Review of
Burscough Manor
from Terry G (Friend of Resident) published on 8 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I've been visiting the resident regularly since she came to Burscough Manor a few months ago & I was impressed from day 1.
The overall atmosphere of the home is one of welcome and kindness & it is clear that for every staff member at whatever level, this is not "just a job", it's a vocation.
The

home is clean & well maintained; the nursing staff are accessible & visible - (if I have a question I don't have to hunt someone down).
As well as being a friend to this resident, I visit on behalf of her & my local church & as such I have visited a number of care homes in the area and I have to say Burscough Manor is certainly ahead of the game.
When she first arrived my friend was understandably anxious and confused & quite distressed at times but over the weeks the anxiety & distress have gone and she has said numerous times that she feels safe and cared for where she is.; that says it all!

First and foremost the home is a secure safe, clean and when you enter at reception the home is clean and smells lovely. The staff are dedicated, providing excellent care. The laundry service is excellent. Chef is very good providing varied meals. My medication which is most important to me is administered

promptly at times prescribed with due diligence.

Review of
Fleetwood Hall
from D W (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Since my mom has been at Fleetwood Hall she has been happy and content. I therefore have peace of mind she is safe in her home environment. The care afforded to her is excellent and it is evident that her basic needs are catered for. The staff have a great understanding of her care needs, evident both

on a practical basis and with her care plan.
I am blessed that Mum is in a care home, that has a high standard of care and therefore the staff here should be commended for this as they define the ethos of a high standard of care, treating residents with both dignity and respect.
