Acorn Meadow care home, situated in the beautiful part of Lostock Gralam, Northwich, supports older people to lead their best lives with personalised residential dementia care.
This newly-refurbished, cosy home has been tastefully decorated for maximum comfort whilst the landscaped garden provides a restful place for residents to catch up with friends and family or simply to enjoy the outdoors with a cup of tea. To ensure residents always feel at home, the comfortable living areas and bedrooms are all easily accessible by wheelchair.
From Care Assistants to Wellbeing Coordinators and Chefs, each and every member of the professional care team is there to make Acorn Meadow a home from home for all residents. And with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the care sector, the Home Manager leads the team to ensure residents are supported to live the best quality of life.
The catering team at Acorn Meadow care home understand the nutritional needs of older people and create delicious meals to ensure a lovely dining experience for all of residents as well as visitors. They offer a wide range of popular dining areas that provide a welcoming space to enjoy meals.
Learning about each resident’s hobbies and interests enables the dedicated and professional care team to design a comprehensive activity programme, supporting those living in the home to enjoy the things they love most. From building relationships with neighbours in local community groups and schools to arranging tours in the local area, Acorn Meadow also encourages residents to take an active role in the Northwich community.

He is well cared for and always looks happy. My only concern is the clothes I would like him to be warmer sometimes and have adequate clothes on like cardigan and socks and a T-shirt under his shirt, otherwise no complaints.
Mum has lived here at Avandale Lodge for over three years and seems happy and settled. She was recently moved downstairs which isn't as quiet as upstairs and the sitting room isn't as bright and airy as upstairs. Her bedroom is clean and comfortable and mum seems well cared for.

Overall we are satisfied with the care mum receives, most of the staff are excellent but some, only a few, let the rest down.

The staff are really friendly and talk to the residents a lot. If you ask them how your relative is they will tell you and obviously know a lot about their residents and what they do each day. They help keep the residents calm in they're agitated. My Grandma is clean and looks a lot better than when she first came in.
Not an easy place to visit but always amazed at the kindness and affection showed to residents. Very confident leaving our loved one in your care.

This was mainly evident from the high number of agency staff being deployed, particularly at weekends. Overall I considered that this would have an adverse impact on the residents in terms of continuity of care and safety.
Since the inspection report, it is evident that greater effort has been put into this area and I am pleased that the home now appears to be adequately staffed and the carers appear to have some quality time to spend with individual residents. I am less concerned about my mother's safety than I was pre-inspection.

The staff do a really good job and are pleasant and kind with everyone if you live or visit. Making it as much as possible, a clean and really nice place to visit.

My mum was admitted to Avondale Lodge care home in November 2017 for respite care. I can't fault the home and the staff because they have been fantastic. The staff are all so nice and friendly and the care is excellent. In February 2018, we were told my mum can stay permanently. Mum has dementia and is very confused and I especially like the entertainment that's organised there. Thank you.
I came to know the staff as friends. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

My brother was a resident at Avandale Lodge Care Home, whilst he was there he received good treatment from the friendly care staff , the home always kept me well informed and I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone who had similar problems to my brother (Dementia and Nursing care requirements as he was unable to look after himself).
Also I would like to say that they are very prompt to let us know if anything is wrong.
