My mother has been in this care home for 10 years. She has been well cared for, with respect, understanding and devotion from the staff. I appreciate all that Lostock Lodge and all its staff have done for my mother, and I would highly recommend the care home to anyone.

Review from Sandra C (Mother of Resident) published on 5 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son was allocated a place at Lostock Lodge by Lancs County Council as they could not find a rehab place for him after a serious leg break accident. From day one the manager together with all the staff provided A1 care even though they had little experience in dealing with a case like my son's. He
felt valued and they dealt with all his needs with the utmost care and understanding. They were badly let down by Lancs County Council social care team who failed to put a plan in place however they took on board all the information we were able to share with them including hospital appointments and prescription needs. I am so grateful for everything they did and cannot fault them in any way. Although some trepidation at my son having to have rehab/respite in a care home I would have no hesitation in referring to Lostock Lodge again. They took on a young man and kept a smile on his face. They are flexible in arranging visits, they are excellent in every way. Many thanks to everyone at Lostock Lodge.
Reply from Anita Mitchell, Manager at Lostock LodgeThank you very much for your kind review. We are very grateful for your kind words and it gives our care staff encouragement to know they are doing a good job and are appreciated.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been a resident at Lostock Lodge since 19th October 2020, after suffering a brain haemorrhage. I find the staff are extremely knowledgeable and most importantly, they actually care about the people they are looking after. The home is regarded as the residents' own homes and so there is
a lot of respect for them and their possessions and, most importantly, their care.
I chose Lostock Lodge as my mother was a resident here and therefore I can rest assured that the best care and attention will be given to my husband.
I would hasten to add that my husband is very precious to me and our kids and I can quite confidently say that my family would wholeheartedly agree with all of the above.
Thank you Lostock Lodge for being there in my darkest hour.

Review from S N (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
It's hard to give a full review, due to the restrictions on visiting due to the pandemic. So we have not been able to interact with Mum or the staff as much as we did when previously in a home on respite care.
My mum has always appeared clean and well cared for, the staff that I have had interaction
with have treated my mum with respect and dignity, you can hear the empathy in their voices when talking to my mum.
During the last few weeks, we have been allowed in due to my mum now receiving palliative care, which is a blessing to be able to be with her when she needs us the most.
The staff have been great, and when I had a mini-meltdown gave me space to compose myself before continuing with the visit.
Like a lot of people, window visits just don't cut the mustard, but I have to admit I enjoyed the Facebook pictures, my mum kept saying she had nothing to do and was bored, the pictures tell otherwise.
Reply from Anita Mitchell, Manager at Lostock LodgeThank you for your kind words, it makes all the difference when we know our staff are appreciated and doing a good job in looking after our wonderful residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can not speak highly enough about Lostock Lodge and the care the staff showed my Dad during his stay. He was welcomed and made to feel like it was his own home even though early on he had some big reservations about going into a care home from his home in Fleetwood. All the care staff need a medal
as they look after residents so well. I looked at 15 care homes in the local area prior to deciding on Lostock Lodge as at the time I wanted one that felt like a normal home but had the level of care that my Dad might need in the future. I chose well.
Reply from Peter Hannah, Owner at Lostock LodgeWe are most grateful when relatives take the time to write a review, especially when they praise our staff for their care and dedication. Thank you.

I really like the size of the home. With only 32 residents, the staff are able to give my mother the care she needs. As all the rooms are on one level, there is greater communication between the residents. Mother is able to walk the length of the home and go and visit her sister in her room. The staff
are friendly and responsive to any suggestions made. We know Mother is in the best possible place for her care and support structure.
Reply from Anita Mitchell, Manager at Lostock LodgeThank you for you kind words. Our aim is to provide good quality and a safe environment for all our service users.

My father has just moved into the care home his previous care home has closed.
The Manager and their team have been very understanding, kind and professional during what has been a very difficult time for our family. My father has settled in very well and his care has been very good. All the staff
have been very friendly and welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lostock Lodge ticks all the boxes for us, Mum is so happy here. Finding a suitable care home for a parent has got to be one of the hardest things ever but on entering Lostock Lodge for the first time we got ‘the feeling’ that it was the one. It is welcoming, clean, brightly decorated with familiar zones
for the residents so that they can identify key places and the staff are wonderful and very helpful and attentive. Mum settled in immediately, her room is lovely, and we were able to bring pictures, ornaments etc from her house to adorn the walls and shelves making it a proper home from home for her.
The activities coordinator is great and residents and their families can participate in activities to stimulate the brain and to have fun. Since entering Lostock Lodge we have noticed a huge improvement with mums mood, she is happy to socialise now and is eating better, we can trust Lostock Lodge to care for mum and meet her needs 100 %, it’s such a blessing to have found the right place. Thank you.

I have limited mobility and I have just spent 5 nights on respite care whilst my partner was on a mini-breakaway with his friends. I thought the care was excellent the staff could not do enough for me. I would thoroughly recommend this residential care home and will not hesitate to return in the future.

After looking around 19 care homes for my mother in 2015 trying to find the right care for her as she had Alzheimer's, as she, unfortunately couldn't say in her own home any longer, we came across Lostock Lodge.
Fortunately, they had a room free, and in August 2015 she moved in.
They care she received
while she was there was excellent, the staff were so professional and genuinely cared for her as a person.
We felt close to the staff who always made us feel welcome and nothing was ever to much trouble. My mother's needs always came first, as her health deteriorated.
My wife and I can't thank the staff enough for the excellent care she received.

My review of Lostock Lodge is a nice place, the room is comfortable and clean but short of some room to put things in. Management and staff are very good. Activities are quite good the person who does them is very nice and friendly. The food is not as good as it was when I first came in. Safety and
security is good.

My other has been in Lostock Lodge for nearly four years and in all that time my mother has had excellent care and attention from all the staff.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.822) out of 10 for Lostock Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.222 for Lostock Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (46 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.222
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lostock Lodge is based on 7 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 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.6
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 7 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.
