Astbury Lodge is situated within spacious grounds, a mile away from Ellesmere Port town centre. It caters for 41 residents and has two specialist ten bed households, The Meadows and The Poppies, which provide care for people with dementia.
All areas within Astbury Lodge are now smoke-free, including the lounges, each of which offers a different atmosphere. Several lounges offer the choice of a television and video, whilst others offer an opportunity to relax quietly, whilst maybe reading a book.
At least one of the lounges is fitted with a hearing loop, a discreet device to improve sound reception and aid those with hearing difficulties.
There are several dining rooms where meals are served, or residents can opt to eat in their own rooms if they prefer.
The garden has been renovated by The Princes Trust, which chose Astbury Lodge for their community project. It benefits from a greenhouse, bird feeders and a number of quiet areas where residents can sit whilst enjoying the elements.
A number of services are available to residents, e.g a hairdresser visits on a weekly basis; newspaper and magazine deliveries are arranged with a local newsagent. There is a separate charge for these services, which is charged to residents on a weekly basis.
An activities co-ordinator arranges a wide choice of activities, according to residents’ interests. These include weekly activities such as carpet bowls, bingo, quizzes, local outings within walking distance, as well as other events which take place monthly such as a mobile library, memory box, external entertainers and Sunshine Singers.
A varied and wholesome menu is offered and the cook can cater for any special dietary requirements.
A Church of England service is held monthly at Astbury Lodge and a Roman Catholic priest visits on request.
Astbury Lodge is a five minute walk away from local shops.

Lovely care home. Staff all very friendly, would like more activities (mum) as singers occasionally, and mum gets bored during the day. Lovely clean home and food also good. Would be perfect if a few more varied activities throughout the week and something on the weekends.

My auntie aged 101 was still living in her bungalow independently but had increasing mobility problems. After an accident and a hospital stay, she voluntarily entered Astbury Lodge. In the last year, her confidence and activities have returned and her medical welfare ad social needs are met brilliantly by the excellent staff at Astbury Lodge. She now regards this as her home and enjoys the facilities available.
