Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has now been in Lighthouse Lodge for almost 3 months and I cannot thank the staff enough for the excellent care they provide and she receives. The carers and nursing staff are friendly and devoted and look after my mother and all the other residents with due caee re and attention and are always
prepared to go that extra mile.
The support staff too, be it in catering, entertainment, cleaning and maintenance as well as the front of house staff are all lovely to deal with too and nothing is too much trouble. I can only thank everyone for the attention, care, love and respect they show towards my mother. I think the home is first class!

From the moment I walked into Lighthouse Lodge on 21 January, I felt welcome. Having had a procedure at hospital that day, first impressions were vital for my confidence. I was not disappointed. I cannot fault any aspect of the care, and would not hesitate to recommend it. Nurses were meticulous, caring,
kind, professional. Carers did exactly that. They cared deeply that I was safe, happy, warm, and comfortable. I left on 4 February, feeling I was on the road to recovery, and I am very grateful to Lighthouse Lodge.

Used Lighthouse Lodge as respite for my auntie who had had a stroke from the very first day. She got a very warm welcome from staff. My auntie settled in very well and was always clean and tidy when I came to visit. Food must have been good as she put weight on which was much needed. Lots of activities
going on and things done in her time i.e. getting up in the morning, taking time to eat meals, no rushing. Would recommend and will be using for respite again.

The activities team excelled in organising a superb 97th birthday party for my mother with a wonderful cake and entertainer. They ensured that not only my mother but all residents and their guests were included and had a great time. Their enthusiasm, genuine support and care was outstanding. This is
typical of the entertainments team, they always go the extra mile.
All the staff in the home try their hardest to care for, support and keep the residents happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am always impressed by the standard of the home and interact with most staff who are obviously very caring and professional.
As a visitor, the food I see seems well prepared and presented but unfortunately, the nature of the food choices does not always suit my mother. I can offer very little feedback
apart from praise for the way my mother is cared for.
My main concern or observation is the apparent high turnover of what seems to be excellent members of staff and wonder if staff retention should be given a higher priority by the organisation.

The care my wife received was second to none. She had dementia and she died in September 2024 at the age of 91. She was on the 1st floor of the Lodge. Of all the carers who tended to her, who were good, I would like to highlight two carers in particular, they were wonderful. They treated her as if she
was their mum. I cannot thank them enough. The best thing I ever did was to take her to the Lighthouse for the last eight months of her life.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We placed Mum in this wonderful care home after reading positive reviews and being shown around by the staff. Mum's room was beautiful and we were allowed to reorganise furniture to suit her needs and place personal items so she felt like it was her own home. The room was clean bright and modern and
as mum had difficulty walking she was placed in a room close to the dining room so she didn't have far to walk for her meals. Mum liked to have some meals in her room and the staff were very accommodating. The care Mum received was brilliant, she was safe clean and well looked after. Every member of staff I came in contact with was professional. They took time to sit with Mum and get to know her personality, her likes and dislikes and Mum was very happy there and I would not hesitate to recommend Lighthouse Lodge. Myself and my family were always made welcome on every visit and constantly kept updated on Mum's health and welfare. I am truly thankful for the 2 years Mum had here. The staff were amazing.

My mother-in-law has resided at the care home in New Brighton for 16 months. The best asset they have is the quality of its staff who are superb. Hardworking, caring, professional, friendly and with a sense of humour. I can only personally benchmark against two other care homes on the Wirral who by
contrast were extremely poor in looking after residents who were considered a nuisance the more attention they needed. At Lighthouse, I have the utmost faith in every member of staff that they genuinely care for the elderly.

Having now spent three months in Lighthouse Lodge, my aunt has transformed from an old lady at death's door to a lady who has a purpose in life. She is clean and well-fed and looks healthy as a result. All staff are very professional and polite, and no problem is too much and dealt with quickly. I would
definitely recommend this care home.

Review from Graham B (Husband of Resident) published on 30 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In October 2023, I accepted I could no longer give my wife the care she needed at home. Perhaps later than I should have, my daughter and I visited a number of homes in our area able to care for someone with advanced mixed dementia. Lighthouse Lodge was our top pick. It is purpose-built, light and airy,
and the accommodation ranks with that of a good hotel. Most importantly, I was able to witness the quality of care my wife received. Every member of staff, not just the hands-on carers, was kind and compassionate. As my wife’s condition deteriorated and her end of life was imminent, they not only supported my wife but also included me and our daughters in their support. Sadly, my dear wife passed away in January at the home. The medical support from the GP and District Nurses, together with loving carers, meant that in her final days, she was comfortable, peaceful and pain-free. I take comfort in knowing that by choosing Lighthouse Lodge, my wife got the best of care.

Laundry service seems 'hit and miss' - dirty clothes not collected and clean clothes not always returned same day. My mum is often close to running out of clean underwear.
Her room often feels like it is not clean - same comment for lounge/dining area.
Does not feel like full value for money at £1100
per week.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.685)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.685) out of 10 for Lighthouse 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.685 for Lighthouse Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 295 Ratings = 4.685
  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 Lighthouse Lodge is based on 24 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 24 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.
