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. The home includes a dementia-friendly layout, welcoming lounges, an IT suite, hair salon, and a volunteer-run coffee shop.

Review from Peter N (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 19 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Wayne Jones, Home Manager at Aughton Park
Thank you so much for your kind review, Peter. We pride ourselves on the care and compassion our staff show and provide. I will pass on your kind and sincere comments.

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.

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
progress, the first impressions are very impressive. Aughton Park has recently recruited an activities co-ordinator, a young lady who is making a very good start. 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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Wayne Jones, Manager at Aughton Park
Thank you Kenny, We are very proud of the quality of care our team and their commitment to the residents we support. I will ensure your comments are shared amongst the team.

My mum spent the last 6 months of her life at Aughton Park and she could not have received better care. The rooms are pleasant and private (and currently being upgraded), the atmosphere quiet and restful, and the staff genuinely caring, helpful and eager to do whatever was necessary to ensure Mum's
needs were met. When she passed away, we were overwhelmed by the kindness and consideration shown, not only to Mum, but to myself and my sister as well. I would recommend Aughton Park unreservedly.

Thank you so much for your kind words, I will ensure these are shared amongst the team at Aughton. It was our priviledge to care for mum in her final months.

Dad has been in the care home now for just 8 months. He has settled in as well as can be expected, the staff have been very good getting him into a new routine. Life is very difficult as dad was always an out and about person but during the summer he was able to enjoy the outside space in the lovely
gardens.
The staff have all been very professional and supportive as he needs have become greater. We have no issues with the care being given and have always been kept updated with any concerns.

My father has been a resident in the dementia wing of Aughton Park home near Ormskirk since January 2017. I am so happy that we have found such a lovely, homely place for him to live. I visit my dad 2 or 3 times a week and he is always clean, well fed and comfortable. The atmosphere is homely and the
staff are lovely and very attentive. I have only praise for the staff and facilities at Aughton Park.

My nana lived here for just over 2 years until her death in July. The staff were fantatsic!! They cared for her as they would their own family member. The surroundings are lovely and the downstairs dining room and lobby very welcoming as are the upstairs lounges.


The bedrooms are adequate. The ensuites

are lovely but the bedrooms seem very dark and aren't well lit. Apart from that, we cannot praise the staff more highly for the care they gave nana - especially over the last 4 weeks of her life. We would recommend Aughton Park.

Thankyou very much for your kind comments, we are going through a refurbishment programme later this year, which will include residents bedrooms, which hopefully will rectify the lighting issue.

Due to my wife's mental health there was a short time need for her to have some respite and also allow me to have some rest in the process. The accommodation and environment at Aughton Park provided this in an excellent way supported by most excellent staff giving me a peace of mind whilst she was there.
Our grateful thanks to all at Aughton Park at this very difficult time in our 53 years of marriage.

If you are looking for a care home for a loved one then look no further. My mother received the best care here. Everything was perfect and there was no hesitation in offering this.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.658)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.658) out of 10 for Aughton Park 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.658 for Aughton Park is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 266 Ratings = 4.658
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aughton Park is based on 23 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 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
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 23 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.
