My dad has been in this home from 2014, it has not long been taken over by a new manager and staff, I am very pleased with the care, warmness and kindness of all staff. Things just seem to be getting better here from day to day, with days out and furnishing throughout the care home. Staff always there to listen to any concerns, all in all a very nice care home.
Thank you very much for your kind comments, they are much appreciated. Kind regards

Meet the Team (4)
Hi, my name is John. I am the Home Manager of Allerton Lodge Care Home.
I have been a nurse since 2002 and have been a Home Manager since 2012.
What keeps me doing the role is a sense of family and community. I don’t see the nursing home just as a nursing home, I see it as a big house and at the core of the house is family. That family includes the team, the residents and the residents' families and loved ones, treating each other with respect and dignity what a good family should do. It's a sense of belonging to the community that brings out the best in all of us, and my home at Allerton Lodge Care Home feels like it very much belongs to the local community. A good manager involves everyone in decisions and choices that are made for the home, and I want all our families to also feel part of our big family.
Hello, my name is Clare. I am the Deputy Home Manager at Allerton Lodge Care Home.
I have worked in social care for over 20 years within dementia and residential settings across Liverpool. I joined Allerton Lodge Care Home as a Senior Care Assistant in 2015; in that time, I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge within the management setting. I am also working towards completing my level 5 in leadership and management to further my skills within my role.
I take pride in working at Allerton Lodge Care Home and working alongside our incredible and talented team. I believe everyone should be treated with dignity and respect, and all our team members to promote person-centred care to our wonderful residents.
I feel I am a very approachable and positive person and will always be happy to stop what I am doing to talk to any of our residents/staff and families.
Hi, my name is Nicky, and I am the Administrator at Allerton Lodge Care Home.
Hello, my name is Karen. I am the Activity Co-Ordinator at Allerton Lodge Care Home.
I joined Allerton Lodge Care Home in 2014, working as a Care Assistant on days/nights, which I enjoyed very much. I was then given an opportunity to apply for the activity role here at Allerton Lodge Care Home, and I am so glad I did! I find this role very rewarding and fulfilling, as seeing the enjoyment that our wonderful residents get when doing activities with them is amazing. I feel I make a huge difference in their daily life, and I get to spend quality time with the residents either on a 1-1 basis, delivering person-centred activities or within the group. We do a wide range of activities here at Allerton Lodge Care Home throughout the day, and also have live entertainers in, and our residents love to have a good knees-up and a dance!
