Aughton Park provides residential, dementia and short-stay care for up to 50 residents in a thoughtfully designed home in Ormskirk, West Lancashire.

Built on the site of a former convent and winner of a Pinders Design Award, the home combines historic character with modern comfort. It’s conveniently located within walking distance of Aughton Park train station, offering easy access for visitors and local outings.

All bedrooms are single occupancy with en-suite facilities and can be personalised to reflect each resident’s tastes.

This is an excellent home, well designed, spacious, bright and clean. The staff are friendly and caring and there is a good programme of activities to keep residents occupied during the day. Aughton Park is well managed and this has been particularly evident as the home has responded well to the Covid-19
crisis.

Aughton Park Care Home is the only home that I would have felt comfortable about leaving my dad in. The staff are exceptional, in every way. I can talk about the care given and upcoming treatments, with confidence, to any member of the team, or management.
The activities are individualised, and those
who wish to participate get a lot of pleasure from them. There is a gentlemen's club, which helps the male residents keep their identities going.
Each room has an ensuite wet room, recently refurbished with lovely white and grey tiles with a splash of glitter. This to me was extremely important, not only for his dignity but also for my dad's health, as infection is far less easily transmitted from one resident to another. I can't thank them enough for their care and compassion during the lockdown, not only towards my dad but also to me. They have helped to make this horrid time, somewhat bearable.

Aughton Park is a well-run, well-staffed, friendly home, where many of the staff have been there years, and they use very few temp staff. This may be one reason why they have managed to keep COVID from spreading in the home.
They were one of the few places willing to accept my mum, who had dementia
but was fit and didn't want to go in a home, so high escape risk! They soon made her feel safe, relaxed and at home.

My sister-in-law has been in Aughton Park for 7 months now. From her first assessment contact, through to admission, and those first months of her living at Aughton Park, she has been treated with care, respect and dignity. The staff create a happy, welcoming environment for family and visitors and
are able to chat about our loved one's needs etc anytime. We feel confident that she is being well cared for and is shown not just care but also affection by all staff. Her brother and I have no reservations in recommending Aughton Park.

Having viewed several care homes, looking for a dementia unit suitable for my mum, I was concerned that I might not find somewhere suitable until I arrived at Aughton Park. Having been let in and greeted, offered a beverage, I sat down with a smile on my face. This was it, HOME. Obviously, I was shown
around with everything being just what I'd hoped to find for mum, and for myself and my family - Instant relief!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Before submitting my review, I read other people's reviews about Aughton Park and thought the reviews say everything I would have liked to say about the care home. It's lovely, just what I wanted for my special mum, simply the best and the staff are amazingly understanding to my mum's needs and foibles.
Who wouldn't want the best for their mum! She was ill at home and the family decision was taken, a period of respite was needed. After a month of respite, mum continued to decline mentally and physically, it was the toughest decision of all to take, to make it permanent.


I'm extremely grateful to the manager, the administrators, the Redcliffe wing carers and residential carers, their actions have demonstrated their compassionate management. I am confident I can trust them with mum's care.
Mum is very happy living there, she praises the staff endlessly, nothing is too much trouble for them, they are always very welcoming to visitors.

My little mum gets the best care in the world, I know when I leave her she is going to be well looked after.
The staff are lovely and go out of their way to make us feel at home, we even had lunch with mum, we so enjoyed it. I am only just getting to know the names of some staff, but one particular
member of male staff is lovely, as are all of them. But whatever uniform he has on he is lovely, always pleasant to my mum, she loves it there as I do. Keep up the good work and give the staff a pay rise, god knows they deserve every penny.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Having lived in only two properties for the past sixty-eight years, it was of course extremely difficult for Mum to give up her independence but her deteriorating health meant that she was no longer able to look after herself or be looked after, in her own place.
The decision was taken, reluctantly,
that she should move in to care. I had taken Mum around all of the Care Homes in the Ormskirk/Maghull area some time ago, when she was still able to get about and her choice had been Aughton Park because of the caring and friendly staff, it was clean and she believed that she would be safe there.
When she had to be discharged in to care from the hospital, the staff at Aughton Park helped tremendously to get her settled in and comfortable, quickly.
Although due to further deterioration in her medical condition, she did not stay at Aughton Park as long as we had hoped, the family are very grateful to all at Aughton Park for the first class care they provided to her.

The home is light, bright, clean, comfortable and most important, cheerful with a homely atmosphere.
We have been visitors to the home (remember this is what it is for all living here) for over six years, to the dementia unit.
The staff have all the special qualities to care for our loved ones at
the most difficult and vulnerable time in their lives.
They have empathy, care, understanding, patience, hard work ethic, commitment and big hearts.
This allows us and many many more relatives to have complete peace of mind when we head home after our visits.
Thank you to all staff at MHA.

My mum spent the last 18 months of her life at Aughton Park. She was originally only there for respite, but after 3 weeks she asked if she could stay. She said she felt safe there. The staff are professional, caring and compassionate. They always made time to chat to mum and she considered them not
only her carers but her friends. When Mum passed away, the family were overwhelmed by the kindness shown to them from all the staff. We would recommend Aughton Park.

Mum stayed at Aughton Park for nearly 2 years and then moved to another home so that she could be nearer to family. Whilst at Aughton Park we found the staff to be very caring and attentive but felt that more needed to be done in the way of activities.

Hi Paula, thank you for your review. I am sorry that you felt the activities were poor here at Aughton, as you were aware, we have been without an activity coordinator for 3 months, but now we have a new activity coordinator who is very passionate and has lots of new ideas.

My wife has been in the care of Aughton Park some 16 months now with Dementia. My wife is content and is receiving first-class care from caring, knowable, staff who are courteous, with a pleasant disposition, projecting a happy persona. The facilities are excellent, an extensive refurbishment is in

I will sign off by wishing all at Aughton Park continued success and thank Aughton Park for the good work and the caring commitment seen daily.

My Father has been a resident at Aughton Park for 15 months and has been cared for by the most wonderful staff. As with any family, the decision to place him in care was not taken lightly and a great deal of thought and research went into it. My first impression was how the staff showed genuine respect
and consideration, not only to the physical but psychological well-being of the residents. All the staff are caring and nothing is ever too much trouble for them which is why I know my Father could not be in a better safer environment.

Every day I give thanks that we found a place for mum at Aughton Park care home. Having had personal experience of three others in the area (through other relatives) I can say without hesitation that Aughton Park is in a class of its own. Extremely high standards of care and compassion (so important)
are provided by a stable team of experienced staff who work together as one big family. Managers and staff always make time to chat with relatives as well as residents. Whatever time of day you visit, you will find plenty of staff on duty, mingling with residents, dedicated to giving companionship and kindness to those in their care.

The facilities and rooms at Aughton Park are good, the ability to walk outside in a secure and safe environment is comforting. It gives a sense of freedom to the residents and the opportunity for family and friends to visit in pleasant surroundings. The most important part of life in Aughton Park is
the quality of the staff, there is a real feel of caring and professionalism. Their patience with residents in difficult circumstances is very reassuring. My Mum is a resident in the Dementia Unit and my family cannot speak highly enough of the home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.659)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.659) out of 10 for Aughton Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.659 for Aughton Park is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 170 Ratings = 4.659

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aughton Park is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
