My dad was admitted to Alsley following a difficult stay in hospital. The transition from the hospital to the care home was made so much easier due to the help and guidance given to us from the manager. Nothing was too much trouble for her.
Since being at Alsley all I can say is how impressed all
of our family have been at the care and kindness given not only to my dad but also to his family members during what has been a most traumatic time in our lives. Food, care and entertainment provided have all been second to none. Thank you to all of the staff there.

My husband stayed at Alsley Lodge Care Home for respite care on 2 short occasions during 2018. I have to say that I was overwhelmed by the kindness shown to both of us by the staff. Staff reported that he settled well and was calm and happy during his time there. He slept and ate well. When I picked
him up, he was obviously well cared for, clean and tidily dressed.

My mum is very happy here. She was very lonely at home and now, thanks to the staff, has made new friends. The staff here have made sure my mum settled in well and she has a new lease of life.
Her room is nice and bright, clean and nicely decorated. She is eating well and enjoys interacting with the
staff! She has been on a few trips, including a trip on a barge along the canal. I would like to thank the manager and her staff for making sure my mum is happy in her new home.

I can't recommend the manager and her team enough for increasing dad's quality of life, he has dementia. They have been nothing but caring and respectful toward my dad. The activity co-ordinator arranged for a memorable trip to Bolton FC for dad. He is a passionate football fan. The manager and
her team are always at the end of the phone if you need to talk and they involve you in every aspect of his care. I know he is in very good hands which has taken away alot of worry from myself and my family. Thank you.

Alsley Lodge - Lovely Residence, beautiful rooms with a homely atmosphere, very friendly helpful staff. Lots of activities going on through out the day. Beauty, hair barber, football softball etc. Nice meals, friendly chef, cleaning and maintenance staff, all make you feel very welcome. Lots of reassurance
for the family and clients.
Obviously good staff at the helm as the ship appears to run very well. My father even made the Xmas lunch outing, even though he was only there for respite. Our family highly recommend this lovely Care Home. Just wish there were more respite beds as they always seem to be booked up and a waiting list! Sign of an excellent Place!
Thank you to all the staff.

My mother was a resident at Alsley Lodge for 2 1/2 years. During this time she was treated with absolute dignity and respect. Alsley Lodge became her home where she was looked after and tended to as an individual by all of the staff. Her final days were spent at Alsley Lodge. The staff, the service,
the care and most importantly, the compassion, were overwhelming. My family and I cannot thank you enough for the care shown to our mother.

We cannot rate Alsley Lodge high enough. We had a difficult task of moving my mother in law from her previous care home, which we felt was not meeting our standard of care that we anticipated.
This was a very stressful time for us, Alsley Lodge could not have made the process any easier, they stepped
in helped and supported us throughout.
The staff are respectful kind and caring. There is a varied range of activities available throughout the week to encourage socialisation, such as the pianist and weekly sing-song. The staff are very accommodating with our requests, tea coffee etc even providing bird feeders for my mother in law.
The home itself is clean and welcoming and the standard of care is excellent.
My mother in law is once again happy.

My Mother passed away in Alsley Lodge in April. She was sat with until her end and was never alone. She was looked after with care and compassion, I still feel the need to go and visit the girls. I do have an elderly friend still there want to keep the friends I have made there. Keep up all your fantastic
work ladies, I now class you all as my extended family and friends. Thank you.

Alsley Lodge is a wonderful care home and I would recommend it highly.
My Gran has been living there since last September and the staff are wonderful. Gran has dementia and has been very challenging but the staff have always been excellent and dealt with every situation with care and compassion.
The
home has a lovely family feel and all the residents are very happy. The carers are so friendly and we always have a few laughs when we go in to visit Gran.
The management team are fantastic and have helped us with many issues, especially when Gran first went into the home which can be such a stressful time for the family.
We are very pleased with every aspect of the home and can't thank the whole team at Alsley Lodge enough. Thank you.

My wife has been a resident in this care home from February since then there has been a marked improvement in her general health and appearance. Her strength has been increased and she is generally more mobile and she is able to hold a conversation with prompting from the staff.
Her memory in the short
term in still causing a problem and leaves her confused when moving about in the living area.
During my regular visits, she finds difficulty in locating her way to the dining room and her own private accommodation. My wife has always been an avid reader but unfortunately, she is unable to recognise print anymore. She does, however, take part in most afternoon activities which are both stimulating and excellently organised.

Alsley Lodge Care home has been caring for my mother for a year. The warm loving atmosphere of the home has transformed my mother's outlook on life. Over the past year, she has developed a new interest in everything around her and she loves being at Alsley Lodge and has developed new friendships. She
has put on weight and has a zest for life hitherto missing. The staff are extremely compassionate and go the extra mile on many occasions. Relatives are always made very welcome and encouraged to feel part of the care home family. My family are delighted with my mother's care.

Mum has been a resident at Alsley Lodge for nearly 2 years. During that time she has been well cared for by friendly & helpful staff. She enjoys her meals and chooses what she wants to get involved in. Communication by telephone with the home management and with my mum works very well and is important

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Alsley Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.955 for Alsley Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.955

  • 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 Alsley Lodge is based on 11 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
