Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since day 1 we have been more than happy with the care at Locharwoods. The home has a very homely feel and staff treat the residents with curtesy and compassion at all times.
From the manager and assistant manager to the care team all the staff are approachable, kind and understanding.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I really can't express what a lovely little gem this care home is.As a nurse I've worked in a few so have a lot to compare but genuinely feel this home is one of the best.From the minute I walked through the door I knew we'd got the right place for mum.The staff are so kind and compassionate from the
managers right down to the cleaners and handyman.Smiles all round when you enter and really can't do enough for residents and relatives alike.A lot of thought is put into the activities and they arrange ,visiting hairdressers and choropidists .Mum said she loved the wholesome ,home cooked food and the little treats the cook provided from time to time.Nobody wants to be in a home but I think mum actually enjoyed her time there and felt pampered and cared for.
She's home now ,rejuvenated and much better,a lot being due to the love and dedication given by all the staff.
We still talk about her time there now ,with fond memories.
A big shout out to an incredible bunch of staff!

Review from Maria G (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Locharwoods of Formby is a wonderful, caring and brilliantly led and run residential care home with amazing staff. It is a "home from home" with room for 18 residents each with their own personal rooms. You can bring your own furniture and things to make it feel more personal and cozy, however the
furniture that is provided is of very good standard.
They have a lovely lounge, dining room and conservatory leading out to a secure, private and pretty garden with a covered seating area.
Each resident is treated with the most care and compassion making sure that their needs and dignity is respected at all times.
Management lead the home well, making sure that they adhere to standards and compliance and replace and repair things when needed.
My Mom has been here 3 1/2 years and they have treated her kindly making sure her health and also her emotional needs are looked after.
The care staff really get to know the residents and have their best interests at heart, and try to keep them safe.

All the staff at Locharwoods, Formby, are very kind and thoughtful. They genuinely care about my mum and they are interested in her and listen to what she has to say. The home itself is lovely, warm and cosy with a real homely feel. This home has been a godsend for us. It has a beautiful garden and
is in a lovely location. My mum is treated as an individual, with respect and courtesy.

Review from Keith R (Son of Resident) published on 18 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of Locharwoods for ten months.
Locarwoods Care home, staff and management are outstanding, they personalise the care in a way that reflects your needs and yet does not make you stand out as 'different'. The attention to detail and having the best interest of the residents
is something that is clearly apparent and it shows in so many ways.
Locarwoods Care Home is truly a home for those who reside there, they are like one happy family all getting on with each other and looking out for each other.
The staff encourage and get a high level of involvement in organised activities both in the home and external outings to the theatre for example, and this is a great boost for my mother and well appreciated.
As a son, I feel so assured that my mother is being looked after and cared for by people who care and genuinely go 'the extra mile' in all aspects of her care. Keep up the good work you are all very special people.

Our mum is looked after really well and is very happy at Locharwoods Formby. She has settled and does not feel unhappy to be away from her own home. The staff are so kind and caring and we know as a family that Mum is well looked after and care for. Thank you wonderful team.

My Dad has been extremely well cared for by kind, thoughtful and considerate staff. Nothing is too much trouble. The environment is cosy and homely and kept extremely clean. I visit regularly and I am always made welcome at any time. The management is always available and is keen to meet our needs as
a family. The small nature of the home and the low turnover of staff is a bonus as they get to know Dad well.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.056)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.056) out of 10 for Locharwoods is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.681 for Locharwoods is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.681
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.375 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Locharwoods is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 4 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
