My Mum couldn't have spent her final days in the most amazing place with the love and care from all staff. They are amazing people whom clearly are committed to make Windmill Lodge a 5 star care home and clearly deserve the 5 star rating. From the management team to the nursing staff nothing was ever a problem that they couldn't sort out. Bright has been amazing whom nursed Mum mainly and always had time to chat and discuss her medical issues. The Deputy manager has been a rock to me and with her experience of nursing terminally ill people in her past roles to now in a management role she is a definite asset to the future and Windmill Lodge.

Windmill Lodge Residential. This is run as a business to make profit, that is the bottom line. The management is uncaring and unprofessional. When you see behind the facade, it's a different story. The only positive we can mention are the carers who are employed. Would not recommend this place. The Nolan Day Centre. Wonderful place, fantastic staff, would highly recommend.

When the resident arrived from hospital he was unable to communicate and feel himself and I was preparing for the worst. After a short time is able to speak again, eat independently and has a renewed vigour. This has been the result lf the dedication and professionalism of the staff, their excellent care and dedication. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work.

My mother was resident here until we lost her in September, had vascular dementia and was very frail. This nursing home "lost" a high value eternity ring and I was given assurances back in August that they were "looking into it" and that I would receive a response as a priority. 54 days later and I nor Social Services have received any form of a response. They are in breach of Section 47 of the 2014 Care Act. My mum has now died and I have to explain to my daughter why an item of great personal sentimental value to her and my mother, cited as being bequeathed to her in my mother's will is missing. We have supplied them with photographs, a full insurance valuation and still no response. I am personally shocked by Athena's management's kick the can down the road approach to this matter. The management team seem unwilling to or unable to deal with a basic insurance claim. Probably best avoided if your elderly relatives have any high value personal effects. Or just avoid altogether.

We are sorry that it appears your mothers ring was lost. We do ask that valuable items are not brought into the home and that they are insured if they are. It is regrettable that very small, but very valuable items, such as rings, can be mislaid or lost all too easily. We have not acted in breach in section 47 of the Care Act and have not obstructed the local authority at all. We do, however, accept that our response to your reporting the loss was not as prompt or helpful as it ought to have been and we apologise for that. We have made a payment to your late mothers estate for the cost of a replacement ring.

Went for a two-week respite. Left 4 days early. Awful, understaffed, food disgusting and cold. Please do not send your loved ones here, they leave them doing nothing but cry and try to break out. The older people were begging me to call their families - no games or entertainment.

I like the place and has been good for my mother. Carers are good and caring. Nursing care could be improved. The place is very clean. This place is one of the better ones. Could do with more staff sometimes. Management was an issue changing all the time. Nursing is a bit slack at times.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the daycare centre to anyone.

Hello, my name is Hannah. I am the admissions nurse based at Windmill Lodge, Lytham St. Anne's.
My role is to support families from their enquiry stage, assessment process, through to admission of their loved ones, whether that is for respite or a more permanent residency. As part of this role, I also work with Professionals who can help relatives through the process and ensure a smooth and stress-free transition.
The rewarding nature of the role allows me to help relatives and loved ones through the most challenging decision they may take in relation to a loved one, and then see their loved one flourish here.
