My Dad was looked after very well at Acer Lodge. He had complex care needs which were met in full by the nurses and carers with sensitivity and kindness. When he became ill and needed end of life care the team were able to manage this with dignity and compassion. He died peacefully. The managers,
nurses and care staff were always polite, attentive and addressed all the family's concerns. His room was very comfortable, private and well equiped. We were able to make it homely for him. He was very happy to be looked after in Acer Lodge.

We really struggled when looking for a care home for Mum as we wanted somewhere that was aesthetically pleasing but also met mums needs. As Mum has Alzheimers she needed care but also constant company and entertaining. Acer Lodge in Blackburn was the only care home that we considered met all mums
needs. The entertainment is second to none, more like being in a hotel rather than a care home! Tony is amazing when it comes to planning activities. The food is really good, home cooked and plenty of choice. And the staff are all welcoming and friendly. Mum is very settled and has even made her own group of friends, which is lovely to see. I would strongly recommend Acer Lodge Care Home, Blackburn to anyone.

Our experience of Acer Lodge has been very positive, in particular the varied activities led by Tony who is absolutely excellent in involving everyone in such a cheerful, positive and fun way.
The paved path leading to the front door has loose flags that need attention.

My mum has been a resident of Acer Lodge since last August, and is very happy and settled there. The layout of the home is very well thought out - unlike many care homes we have visited, it has areas where residents can socialise, but also plenty of quiet spaces, and comfortable rooms where families
are welcomed and can make themselves at home. We know that no care home is perfect, but we feel that any concerns we have raised have been dealt with promptly. With the current staff, we feel that we are listened to, and our opinions valued. There is genuine care for the people who live there. The outstanding feature, which has prompted this review, is the variety of activities provided. A lot of thought goes into engaging residents in interesting and fun things to do. Tony knows everyone so well, and their families, and makes sure everyone is involved. Mum has dementia and can no longer communicate with us very well, so daily photos and updates on social media are fantastic.

During mum's time at Acer Lodge she has been cared for with compassion and love. The staff put mum's welfare as priority but are also always there to support the family. I have been very impressed at the communication provided. I would have no hesitation in recommending Acer Lodge as a care home for
your loved one.

We visited while Tony was entertaining the residents in the lounge . He was brilliant at engaging with them all . The music obviously triggers something within them . My aunty has dementia and was loving singing along to all the songs he played. She is much happier and more engaged at acer lodge
than the home she was previously in. Tony deserves a pay rise . Keep up the great work .

It was lovely to see the residents thoroughly enjoying the in-house Christmas entertainment as well as some visiting children from a local primary school. The staff are so lovely, caring and friendly.

Since transferring Ivy over to Acer Lodge, the change in her has been quite remarkable. She is now more aware and alert, she's recognising family members, and her demeanor is one of happiness and contentment. All this is down to the lovely, dedicated staff at Acer Lodge, whose professionalism is
outstanding. This care home is a beacon of what care for the elderly should be.

It takes a dedicated team to make a home excellent and Acer Lodge has that. Every single member of staff at some point in the day spends one to one quality time with one person who lives there. My dad is non verbal so he speaks with his face, and all the staff now read his face. The home is a lovely
place with lots of fun, laughter and love.

Denis was brought to Acer Lodge after 3 weeks in hospital, he was welcomed in by the staff. He hasn't been an easy resident, suffering from Alzheimer's he thinks he is in his own home as he can go into other rooms. The carers are so kind to him, to us, well looked after, kept clean and tidy. Can't
praise the staff enough. Our only problem is loss of property and clothes, even though they are all named, I've had to buy new glasses and a watch.

My sister has been a resident at Acer Lodge for three months.
All of the staff involved in her care have been so attentive and friendly and this has helped tremendously with how she has settled in. I feel that everyone helping my sister wants the best for her and are aware of her specific needs.
The home exudes a really friendly atmosphere. We are always warmly welcomed by everyone, and the staff genuinely seem to enjoy chatting and getting to know us and want to make sure that everything is going well.
The accommodation is lovely. The private rooms are spacious and well equipped and the lounges and sitting areas make you feel more like you are in a hotel than a care home.
Any questions I have had about the home or my sister's care have been answered straight away and I am confident that concerns would be addressed in the same way.
Acer Lodge has proved to be an excellent setting for my sister and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

My dad has been in Acer Lodge for 5 weeks and we have the staff to be very caring and supportive. They have looked after dad well in challenging circumstances. He is well looked after and as a family we feel supported too. They just need to keep a better eye on resident's belongings as dad has had a
few things go missing while in there.

My uncle has a life ending condition of Motor Neurone Disease, We had a very stressful and upsetting experience trying to discharge my uncle to an appropriate care facility to accommodate his needs, we had to attend many meetings to get to the appropriate safe discharge plan for him. I was given
many care homes to look at and none gave me the evidence or the criteria that was required to care for my uncles needs.
It was only when I walked into Acer Lodge did I feel reassured and confident that this would be the place I would be happy for him to be cared for. All the staff were professional, respectful and could answer any of my concerns, the warm friendly atmosphere throughout my initial viewing gave me confidence I had found the right place. I was given the opportunity to speak with nurses who would care for my uncles needs and would be happy to take advice from the Motor Neurone Disease team where he was hospitalised and work together in my uncles best interests.

Our father was in Acer Lodge for 7 weeks. He was cared for by many staff, who were all very caring, compassionate, polite, knowledgeable and considerate, right up to the time of his passing away. Nothing was every too much trouble to help him and also anything we needed they sorted. The 3 young
gents who looked after him mainly were so attentive to him and he seemed to enjoy them spending time with him. Overall, we would definately recommend Acer Lodge as a place to be looked after in your time of need.

I am incredibly grateful for the care my dad received during his two-week respite stay at Acer Lodge care home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable and well taken care of. The care home itself was immaculate, providing a warm and welcoming environment that made him feel
right at home. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family. The staff were attentive, always offering us drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. It's clear that they truly care about their residents, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking excellent care in a friendly, caring environment.
