  • Lumb Valley Care Home, Rossendale
Top 20 Northwest care home award winner 2015 & 2018. The 5th highest rated care home in the whole of the North West region 2015. Lumb Valley Care Home offers a range of care, from long term residential care to short term respite. There is a day care option for those who wish to benefit from the home’s facilities on a daily basis.

Staff work hard to get to know each resident, understanding their own individual tastes and needs to ensure residents feel consulted and involved with important decisions about the care they receive.

They absolutely refuse to use agency staff and existing members of staff have all been with the home for a long time. That plus the home’s relatively compact size means the staff and residents know each other very well indeed. This creates a genuine bond of friendship and trust that is very hard to achieve in a large home or when you are using agency staff, who are essentially strangers coming in to do what can be a very intimate job.

The nutritious homemade meals can be enjoyed in the social dining room or in a resident's own room if they prefer to dine privately. A choice of meals are always available and the personal tastes of residents are met by the home’s dedicated chef.

Residents are treated with dignity and respect at all times throughout the Lumb Valley Care Home.

Lumb Valley home is highly recommended. My husband and I live in Canada and they keep us up-to-date regularly. If I have any concerns they always reply quickly. They have made the adjustment for my father-in-law quite effortless. We have visited him and quite enjoy the home. They play games, crafts
and have lots of music artists to keep the residents entertained.

My wife's brother has been in Lumb Valley Care home for three and a half years.
He is well looked after, clean, tidy and well-fed.
He is comfortable and content, he enjoys most of the activities and participates.
Communication from the care home is good relative to any medical issues etc.
The activities
are regular and allow relatives and friends to view photos and videos on social media.
Both my wife and I appreciate all that Lumb Valley management and staff do for my brother-in-law and all the residents and believe he is in an excellent home.

Review from Joanne R (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Dad was transferred from the hospital to Lumb Valley in October 2023. He had signs of agitation and the hospital advised he needed 1-2-1 care. When he went to Lumb Valley, this care was not provided and an incident occurred. From this time, the decision was that dad be moved to somewhere more suitable.
I don't blame Lumb Valley for this, however, when dad reached his new care home, what a different experience! Where all the residents at Lumb Valley were sat in a living room looking at the television all day, dad was jiving and doing rock and roll at his new home! He had lost weight whilst at Lumb Valley and seemed depressed. I think the moral of the story here is that some care homes suit certain people more than others and it is important that authorities recognise this and try to take it into account when allocating. Easier said than done though I know! My conclusion is that Lumb Valley may suit certain people and their families and I'm not going to deride them, but not the best for dad.

I just wanted to take the time to say a huge thank you for all of the support and help that the team from the home have provided for both myself and mum. From parties to celebrations for residents to activities and pamper days. It was such a big change when mum had to move into a home and I was so nervous
as I had to make that decision. I can honestly say I knew as soon as I spoke with everyone there that they did actually want to help mum from cooks to carers to the management all very professional and seemed to put my mind at rest and especially as the time came to an end for mum. They showed me and my family that this was the best place for her to finally give up her fight I will always be grateful to them all please don’t be afraid there are some lovely people still especially in Lumb Valley Care Home. Thank you to the Manager and her team.

I have found that the care they give my mum is very good. The staff are excellent, very accommodating. I feel my mum is in safe hands and there is no need for me to feel worried. The location for the care home is ideal for my mother as she is a local person and she went to school there.

Our relative has now been in Lumb Valley Care Home for 16 months. She has been very well looked after during this time, and her mental health has been the carers' priority. She is regularly assessed physically and mentally and her medication is adjusted accordingly. This information is given to us readily
whenever we ask. When we telephone to speak to our relative, the staff are always very cheerful and helpful.
The carers have played an amazing part in keeping the residents in the home Covid free, many congratulations! Hopefully, we will be allowed a visit soon.

Our mother has been a resident for 10 months and in spite of her condition (Dementia) she has thrived. She still has character and is quite 'spirited'. She is still very small and her weight is about 5 stone 7lbs. She eats well and is encouraged to eat and has protein shakes etc. We are very pleased
with the care she receives and the building has had some redecoration which is an improvement to their surroundings. It would be good if in better weather they could spend time outside.

Mum has dementia and ended up in hospital with a chest infection and seizures. Since she's been back at the home from not being able to feed, the staff pureed food and made her favourites. having to be hoisted - now walking with help from carers and smiling again. Overall great care.

Mum has lived at Lumb Valley Care Home nearly 3 years. She is very happy, settled and peaceful. Although she has Alzheimer's she seems to be happy, in a routine and trusts all of the staff. All I can say is that all of the care and staff are patient, kind and trustworthy. Staff are actually excellent,
it' a happy atmosphere and home. Meals are homecooked by a wonderful cook and assistants. Always a choice and fresh. Staff often do activities and games, and all the residents seem happy. Mum is loved and part of a family I feel and that means a lot.

My dad has been about 4 different care homes in the last 2 years. I can’t believe how quickly he has settled at Lumb Valley, he is always clean, fed and happy when we go to see him. It’s very homely, his room is large and has a lovely outlook as well as his own WC. The staff are all lovely and treat
us like family. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Lumb Valley to anyone!

My friend was very sceptical about moving into a care home due to living at home for many years. Since being at Lumb Valley I have noticed a significant change in my friend, she is extremely happy she looks fantastic her health has improved so much! She has made many friends at Lumb Valley. The staff
are extremely friendly and make me feel very welcome always greeting me with a huge smile and a warm drink offering. The home is lovely and clean and has a real family feel and there is always something going on each day with a range of activities. It’s safe to say moving her here has made a real difference and her being at Lumb Valley has put all of our minds at ease. Thank you Lumb Valley!

Current Review Score: 7.4 (7.437)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.4 (7.437) out of 10 for Lumb Valley Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 2 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 3.857 for Lumb Valley Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 3.857
  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 3.58 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lumb Valley Care Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.4 = 0.455
  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.
