Chorley Lodge offers a warm, friendly welcome at all times to the residents and their families. All the staff are kind and caring. When entering the lounge it is obvious to see that the residents are content but feel that sometimes there could be a bit more stimulation. The staff are very willing to resolve any problems that arise and always have time to sit and listen. My mother is very happy in Chorley Lodge. My sister and I visit her regularly but when we are not there it gives us great peace of mind that she is being very well cared for.

Thank you very much for your review of Chorley Lodge.
I am so glad that your mother is enjoying her stay and that you have peace of mind regarding her care.
It does mean an awful lot to us to hear that our staff are doing a good job and that our residents and their families are happy.
We will certainly look into some more entertainment for the residents choosing to be in the lounge area.
Thank you again.
Kind regards.

My mother has been a resident for over 3 years now. I feel confident that her needs are taken care of. Having visited a number of care homes before selecting Chorley Lodge, my brother and I are convinced we made the right choice. The staff are on the whole wonderful and very caring. I visit two or three times a week and quite often witness acts of love to residents from all levels of carers. Quite often, they are unaware of my presence. The management are very approachable. There is a very friendly atmosphere within the home between staff, carers, residents and visitors. The food is of a high standard and the rooms are always clean. Laundry is outstanding.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by J W (Husband of Resident) on Monday 18 January 2016. Relates to December 2015.
My wife had quite severe Alzheimer's Disease. After caring for her at home for five years her condition deteriorated to the stage that 24 hour care was needed. On admission my wife and family were immediately put at ease and were introduced to her main carer and others who were all friendly and helpful. Until she died in December my wife was very well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were all skilled and knowledgeable. If carers had any problems they passed their worries up the chain of command so that all the staff up to the senior manager were left informed and able to offer help.
