My mother has lived in the Lodge at St Helens Hall for the last three years. She suffers from dementia. My mum feels safe and cared for, and her medical conditions are well managed. I've found the staff to be very caring and considerate and are always willing to answer your questions. Her room is bright
and warm, and she has an ensuite bathroom which we felt was very important for her dignity.
I receive regular updates on Mum, and residents' families are now able to attend Teams meetings with the team, which are really useful when you are working full time and unable to attend meetings in person.
During the lockdown and under very difficult circumstances, the staff went out of their way to try to ensure that residents were able to have as many visits as possible when restrictions allowed for family and did not feel totally cut off from their families.

My mum is currently in St Helens Hall as part of respite care. I can only speak exceedingly highly of the facilities and staff, one of whom in particular. She appears to genuinely care about the residents, which has made taking the difficult decision to facilitate my mum there that little bit easier.
It also gives myself, my dad and extended family peace of mind that our loved ones’ needs are being met with care and attention. Big thanks to the team.
Thank you.

My nan became a resident in 2020, the year of Covid. She was cared for by both the Hall and Lodge, and they really looked after her as we weren't allowed in due to restrictions. I can honestly say, if it wasn't for the home, we would not have been able to care for her. Overall, the home treated and
looked after Nan amazingly, and I would highly recommend.

I have been impressed by the courtesy of the staff, how helpful they are, and the kindness extended by the staff to the residents. The person that I am responsible for is very happy at the home, and seems to have taken to care home life well and gets on with the staff and fellow residents. She said
she like the food. I have been impressed by the way the home has dealt with the Covid-19 restrictions, both for the staff, residents and visitors alike. It is good to know that the person is happy, safe and well cared for, which is a great relief to me.

On 23rd December I had a visit to see my nan, no one contacted me to tell me it was cancelled and my uncle had spoken to someone yesterday about my visit and was told I'd still be able to see my nan, and I was turned away. Nor did you offer me a pod visit or window visit with me coming all the way from
Blackpool.
It's not just Christmas, but it's my nan's 71st anniversary today hence the visit was booked for 23rd and was arranged to go to grandad's grave, so yes I'm not happy with my experience I got today and the way the carer handled this situation wasn't professional at all; 'sorry you can't see your nan' and was told to leave the premises!

Reply from Amanda Clark, Registered Manager at St Helens Hall

Thank you for taking time to write a review for St Helens Hall, we appreciate all comments and feedback. I am sorry that your experience on 23rd December 2021 was not a particularly positive experience and that you felt the staff member was not professional but during this period the home was following government guidelines in regards to visiting care homes which meant that each resident could have up to three named visitors to visit the care home and one essential caregiver. As you were not a named visitor at this time staff would have advised that a visit would not be allowed as per guidelines at this particular time . Now that restrictions have been eased, we look forward to welcoming you back to the care home to visit your loved one.

My father has been a resident at St Helens Hall & Lodge for just over two years, and for the duration of that time, my family and I have been very impressed with both the quality of the overall care he has received and the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff. I have had to communicate often
with staff at the home, either by email or phone as matters have arisen, and have always found them to be very responsive and professional. This has been especially so over the last eighteen months and the impact of the necessary COVID restriction as they were implemented. A difficult time for everyone, I and my wider family think was handled well by management and staff. Based on my experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending St Helens Hall & Lodge.

My mum came to live in St Helens Hall just over 3-years ago. Prior to this, she had lived independently in her own home, until a bad fall meant she then needed a lot more assistance. It was her own choice to move into a care home, but we selected St Helens Hall on the recommendation of a Social Worker.
What a perfect choice we made! The management team are excellent and very approachable. The staff are extremely friendly, caring and communicative - nothing is ever too much trouble. Most important of all - my mum is very happy. She had a wonderful 100th birthday celebration there with her family around her, just under two years ago.


The last 16-months have been a very challenging time for all, but I can’t imagine what it has been like for the staff: putting themselves at great risk every day whilst looking after and protecting our loved ones, until vaccines made things easier, but we are not out of the woods yet. I can’t thank them enough - I am so grateful to these true heroes.

My mum lived at St Helen's Hall & Lodge for 2 and a half years prior to her passing away in December 2018. Mum was very well taken care of and treated with respect and dignity. Mum was very settled living there.
The family cannot thank all the staff for the being there for us in our time of need. My
mum and our family spent my mums last weeks together in the home and will be ever grateful to all at St Helen's Hall & Lodge for the excellent caring environment they provided to our mum whilst she resided there.

When my mother-in-law reached a stage in her life where she needed to move into a care home, my husband and I were very apprehensive as she has always been an extremely independent lady. When she moved in she found it very difficult to accept the communal way of living (not having her own front door)
but the staff were extremely kind and patient, encouraging her to mix with the other residents.
She has now made friends with other residents and joins in as many activities as possible. The home offers a clean, safe and pleasant environment and family and friends are always made welcome. Staff and management are friendly and approachable, many of who go beyond their duties for the residents.
There are various activities offered on a daily basis and trips out which the residents look forward to. I would have no hesitation in recommending St Helens Hall and Lodge to anyone who needed residential care.

Choosing a care home is one of the most difficult things I have done. I viewed all the relevant homes in St Helens leaving in despair. The minute I walked into St Helens Hall & Lodge and spoke to staff I knew this was the right one. I hadn’t made an appointment but was shown around. Mum has now been
a resident in the Lodge for 12mths and settled well. It also takes time for the family to adapt to this way of life for their loved one, but the staff are brilliant, being approachable if any concerns. Mum is always clean and usually very happy, her room is also clean and tidy. At mealtimes, the staff cater to her abilities. There are plenty of activities going on that mum can be a part of and enjoy. I often visit to find staff singing and encouraging residents to join in, brilliant. The staff treat all residents with dignity and I know my mum is safe and cared for. Thank you to all the staff, I’m so very grateful to you all.

My mum became a resident in January 2019. She has had excellent care, her needs are reviewed in a regular basis. We, as a family, have been consulted about her needs and any treatment needed. The team are always looking to make her life better and stimulate her. She is always treated with dignity and
compassion. They have made our lives a lot easier knowing she is being treated as we would treat her. Can only say, thank you.

I have found all the staff to be approachable and friendly, and the treat all the residents with dignity and respect. My Nan was a very independent, strong character; but she has settled in really well and tells me every time I visit how well she's looked after. Her only concern is that she wouldn't
be able to stay here! If she wasn't happy with any of her care she would 100% let me know. But she can't speak highly enough of The Lodge, she loves it here. In fact, she has smiled and laughed more since being in The Lodge than she has done in the last 10 years; which is the biggest gift of all.

My sister-in-law has been well cared for at St Helens Lodge. All the staff, including managerial and administrative, know her personally and are able to discuss her wellbeing. I was extremely concerned when my sister-in-law first had to go into a care home but have been reassured by my experience of
the level of care provided by all.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.692)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.692) out of 10 for St Helens Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.692 for St Helens Hall is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 247 Ratings = 4.692

  • b) 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 St Helens Hall is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 94 registered maximum number of service users is 18.8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Care Manager

Joined: 2012

I worked in retail for many years, but due to the closure of TJ Hughes in 2011, I started working for a domiciliary company. I found the job very rewarding and thoroughly enjoyed my work.


I wanted to work in a home and had heard such good reviews of St Helens Hall that I started working here in 2012 as a Senior Care Assistant in the residential unit.
After two years I was promoted to Deputy Manager on the EMI unit and in May 2018 I was promoted to Care Manager.


During my time working here, I have found the home to be exceptional in all areas, and the care and support given to all residents and staff to be outstanding. The home feels welcoming and friendly.


I find my work very rewarding. Knowing that I am supporting people and making a difference in someone's life is an amazing feeling.
