Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum went into Penwortham Lodge in August 2021. Right from the start she was made to feel comfortable and happy. The range of entertainment is extremely good and, despite some recent staffing issues, Mum was happy and well cared for.
Unfortunately at the age of 104, Mum passed away yesterday and the
reaction from the staff was amazing.
I am so grateful that I was able to place Mum in this home and would highly recommend it.
Thank you for looking after the daft old bat.

The staff have been incredible with helping my mum and making her feel at home. The home manager has made a great effort with assisting my mum to wash and care for herself. Something that she has been incapable of doing herself. The family are happy and content knowing that Mum is safe and being well
looked after. A massive thank you to the home manager and the team.

The staff and management here at the Grange really are second to none. Nothing is too much trouble, and they are all lovely to my mum, which makes me very happy. The staff are always smiling, and that is a sure sign that they are happy in their work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The first impression from entering the site is one of a well-maintained building, once inside the decor is modern and fresh looking without any odours present. I visit three to four times a week and the standards never drop. The same with the care staff, they are all true professionals, patient, caring
and always doing their best for the residents. The food looks delicious and the entertainment I've seen appears to be well thought through and varied. To sum up, if I'm fortunate to reach the same age as the residents, I would be delighted to end up in a care facility as excellent as this!

We have always been happy with the care given to my mum at Penwortham Grange. Since the new management has taken over, staffing consistency has improved meaning my mum has felt more settled with the same familiar faces. The activity staff do a fantastic job with the residents enjoying a variety of activities,
along with external outings. Communication from the staff is great and nothing is too much trouble. Mum always compliments the food and feels happy and safe with the staff.

Friendly atmosphere, Mum has settled in, seeing her regularly doesn't give me any concerns since the appointment of a new manager. The staff change has been noticed and one member of staff in particular has and always goes the extra mile with families and residents. She always puts my mind at ease,
as a team leader is dedicated to her job.

I feel as if things have greatly improved with the new manager. More outside activities have been planned. Residents seem more engaged and I feel as if I am being listened to regarding my mum's care. She's happy here and appreciates the efforts of the lovely carers and staff.

Mum has been a resident now for 3 years. There has been a huge improvement in the management of the home following the recent appointment of a new manager and unit manager, nothing is too much trouble to ensure that Mum's needs are met. I am always made welcome and communications/updates have been excellent.
The rooms are bright and airy, well maintained with ensuites. The cleaning and laundry staff are all so cheery and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Penwotham Grange. We are very appreciative of the safe and caring environment Penwortham Grange offers.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.600)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.600) out of 10 for Penwortham Grange & Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 24 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 4.600 for Penwortham Grange & Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.6
  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 Penwortham Grange & Lodge Care Home 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, 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.
