Afton Lodge

This is the best residential care home for my Mum. It feels like our home too.

We have just gone through a very difficult time after my uncle died in Afton Lodge but the care they gave him was excellent and looked after us as a family.

I will just say thank you again to the excellent staff.

The care at Afton Lodge was second to none. Although the physical building is "tired", the staff are wonderful. I would fully recommend Afton Lodge and have no hesitation in offering them my sincere thanks for their care and dedication.

Care staff are superb. Very welcoming and homely. Always helpful, cheerful and polite.

Since my mother's admission to Afton Lodge in early 2017, I would state that I have been impressed by the service offered by the home. Having visited every week the welcome by management and staff and the care afforded to my mother and all other residents is a great relief and comfort to know that she is in a secure and caring environment.

My sister in law was warmly welcomed at Afton Lodge and almost immediately seemed contented to be there. She had lived most of her life in the Bootle area, but latterly in Hightown, so the very caring staff were people with whom she was comfortable. The bond between the staff and my sister in law quickly grew to a stage now that seems to be strong and enduring. She is very happy and has great trust in the directing staff in particular.

I would particularly like to commend that directing staff who have arranged for my sister in law to see and talk to my wife, her older sister, and I in Australia via Skype.

Finally, as an Australian who lived in the UK for 21 years, I cannot give too much praise for the institution that is Afton Lodge. It may look a little run down but the spirit of the place and the attitude of loving care is extraordinary. I cannot envisage a more satisfactory home for my sister and law at this time in her life.

I am pleased to say that my friend is getting the best of care. The staff are doing their best to keep clean and provide excellent care for him, he is not well at the moment and I am very pleased.

My mum's health goes up and down but the staff keep me well informed of her well-being, as the care goes I would recommend this home to other people as the one to one is second to none.

Very good attention from carers.

My mother is well looked after by very caring staff.

Over the two years I have been here, having lost a lot of weight during cancer treatment, I am now a healthy 10stone women. Healthyish and happy.

My father passed away 20/12/16. If I had not had the utmost privilege of having my father reside very happy and content and cared for at Afton, I would have been very disappointed, because the manager and amazing angels staff that work there made it possible, that in his late stage of life and illnesses, he was cared for so greatly they have my respect. Thankyou Afton Lodge

I have been a resident at Alton Lodge for 2 and a half years. I have always had good care and respect from the manager and staff. I suffered during a serious brain injury about 3 years ago and I consider the care and support I have received at Afton Lodge to have enabled me to progress to the better health which I have now. I could not have made this progress without the excellent care and support I have had from all at Afton Lodge.

I stayed at Afton Lodge for several months after losing a leg; I found there to be a great family atmosphere with committed and hardworking staff. The rooms are very good, and there is a beautiful garden/allotment. I was very well supported by all the staff during my time there, and would strongly recommend it.

My mother has now died but I feel relief that her last few months were happy.

I cannot find any fault with the care home or management, they do look after you very well.
