Celebrated my Aunt's 90th birthday in the home. The events team put on an amazing birthday party with a singer, music and dance. Drinks and laughter were all around the room and the residents were having fun. Wonderful day.
Reply from Sam Smith, Home Manager at Hesketh Park LodgeThank you for your kind comments, we are glad that your Aunt enjoyed her birthday party- the other residents and staff within the home had a great afternoon.

My mother's 4-week stay has been wonderful. This is exceptional in every way. We could have not wished for anything more. The level of care, cleanliness, comfort and stimulating environment could not be improved - outstanding! Ten out of ten! Staff also regularly went out of their way to satisfy specific
requests.

Almost 1 year to the day since Mum moved into Hesketh Park Lodge and the quality of care is still as good, if not better.
Mum has built a good rapport with both fellow residents and staff and seems truly happy in her new(ish) home.

I have always had the common thought of "dreaded care homes" but this couldn't be further from what Hesketh Park Lodge is.
Clean - very much so. Fantastic staff. Great food and activity.
For care that is - care - this should be your first choice - brilliant.

Really lovely, friendly and helpful staff who show great care to the residents. The home itself is beautifully finished and kept clean and fresh. There are a number of activities for the residents to keep them occupied which makes leaving relatives a lot easier with the knowledge they are looked after
and cared for.

It was an extremely difficult decision to put my mother into care after her living with me.
I looked at many homes but could not have placed her anywhere else and had the peace of mins I have with Hesketh Park Lodge. Staff have been fantastic and helped mum settle quickly. She is kept busy with the
wide range of activities and is proud to welcome visitors to such a clean and well-presented home. Food too is very good, especially the cakes.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.670)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.670) out of 10 for Hesketh Park Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.670 for Hesketh Park Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (102 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 373 Ratings = 4.67
  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 Hesketh Park Lodge is based on 31 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 79 registered maximum number of service users is 15.8, which has been reached with 31 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.

Jo-Ann Wallace

Job Title: Senior Sales Advisor Joined: 2021

Having worked in the care sector now for more than 15 years in various roles, the most fulfilling role has to be working with prospective residents, their family or their representatives. I find it most rewarding in helping to find the most suitable care home that will endeavour to meet the care needs of each new resident, along with show casing and promoting the many superb facilities each individual care home has to offer.


My main duty is just by being there every step of the way, helping to support families to take away some of the stress of trying to find the right care home for their loved one.


In my spare time I love nothing more than walking my cockapoo, travelling to different counties within the UK and visiting different countries to sample the different restaurants, sightseeing and experiencing different cultures, but most importantly spending quality time with family and friends.
