Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Walking into the Hesketh Park Lodge was a breath of fresh air after five other care and respite care homes which fell short of Mum's needs.


Welcoming staff, smiles, time to talk to residents, lovely decor, more of a hotel ambience, unusual dietary needs accommodated, nothing too much trouble and

patience and understanding in spades.


Thank you.

Reply from Jo Revie, Head of Operations at Hesketh Park LodgeThank you for your lovely comments, its so nice for our dedicated team to receive feedback from the residents and families.

We are so pleased that your Mum has settled well, and that you are happy with the care and facilities that we are providing.

As a family, we have found the staff extremely helpful. My sister has been treated with respect and dignity at all times. We could not fault the facilities or any of the staff.
Everyone has been very friendly and helpful. We have always been greeting with a smile.

Review from Carol S (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 21 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were concerned how mum would join in and accept life in a care home. I am very pleased to say that she has been so well looked after and made welcome that we need not have worried. She has had a group of friends from day 1 and they are always doing something, in fact, she never seems to be in with
all the activities available. I couldn't be more pleased.
Reply from Gayle Turner, Home Manager at Hesketh Park LodgeThank you for your lovely review, we at Hesketh Park strive to ensure excellent care and our staff offer a varied calendar of activities to cater for all tastes.

Care was second to none, but staff were in short supply at 'get-up' time. Laundry / Housekeeping great, as were catering staff! Reception always with a smile.

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.
