Mum has been at Stanley Lodge Forton since March 24.
What an Amazing place - caring, compassionate, and incredibly attentive.
Mum is looked after so well by the fantastic staff who go above and beyond. It's like a home from home and Mum is very happy there. We are all very grateful for the care Mum
receives.

Stanley Lodge is a lovely home, set in beautiful grounds, and surrounded by the Lancashire countryside.
My mother has lived at Stanley Lodge since March 2024, and she is very happy to be there.
The manager and all the staff at Stanley Lodge work flat out to provide fantastic care for my mother, and
all of the ladies and gentlemen who live there with her.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stanley Lodge to any families who are in need of a loving, compassionate home for their loved ones.

My Step-mum lived at Stanley Lodge for 4 years. The home is set in beautiful grounds, a truly rural setting with lots of wildlife to entertain; birds, squirrels and the occasional deer. The patio is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the views, weather permitting. In her time there she enjoyed a quality
of life which otherwise would not have been possible. Her welfare and safety paramount, the caring, dedicated staff have looked after her with kindness, patience and dignity. Her private room was spacious yet cosy, the daily menu varied and tasty. Access to her GP and other health professionals readily available.
Activities were there to participate in and seasonal themes and special events were celebrated. Visiting was never a problem and we were made to feel welcome every time. All in all a positive experience, she felt like one of the family in a very homely environment.

My mother-in-law has been in Stanley Lodge for 6 months now.
The care is excellent and the staff are really kind and helpful. My mother-in-law has said the staff are really kind to her too.
It feels like being in your own home as the manager and all the staff are really flexible and try to accommodate
any requests and deal with any concerns. We can visit when we want and at any time.
The staff are quick to request help with any medical problems and will organise GP/district nurse/hospital support when needed
I work in the NHS and have seen lots of care homes. This truly is a lovely home and delivers great care. It is what I hope will be there for me when it is my time to have more care.

We were delighted to find a local and very caring residential home when we could no longer look after my mother ourselves. Having worked in healthcare myself for over thirty years, I wanted to find a care home that was safe, comfortable and welcoming. We looked at other homes but couldn’t find what
we were looking for, until we visited Stanley Lodge. On our first visit one of the residents told us “this place is full of love”. It was just what we needed to hear. Stanley Lodge feels more like a large family house than a care home. The staff are all very caring and attentive. The management team are very knowledgeable and always have time to answer any questions we have.
My mum's room is simply wonderful. She has plenty of space and a lovely view over the countryside to the sea. My mum can join the other residents when she wants and can have meals in her own room if she feels like it. Everything is done to make her feel at home, and most of all we know she is safe and happy.

My mother spent the last nine months of her life at Stanley Lodge. She was suffering from increasingly challenging Dementia. The care she received at Stanley Lodge was truly exemplary. She was welcomed as a family member and, after many years of living a life that had been very solitary, came quickly
to enjoy the warmth and kindness of the community. The team were able to deal with the many complex issues my mother presented - including eating, comfort, medication, hygiene, mobility and hospital visits - with great diligence and dignity, and always went so far above and beyond for her. My mother was as happy at Stanley Lodge as she could possibly have been at the end of her life. We will be forever grateful to the devoted manager and her outstanding team for their care and for the warm and hugely supportive relationships they built with me and my siblings. Thank you so much. Earth angels.

After a fall, my then 87-year-old mum went to live at Stanley Lodge in early summer of 2022. She had been struggling on in her own home with carers, as was her wish, for several years. When she arrived at Stanley, she wasn't in a good place, but the carers performed some kind of miracle. By September,
she looked like a completely different person, so happy, bright, beautiful and looked after. They brought something wonderful back out in her, which we thought had been lost forever. Sadly she passed away in May 2023. The carers were incredibly kind and respectful over the weeks before Mum passed. We can't thank them enough for the love and care they gave to Mum. As the staff at Stanley will tell you, it's not posh but more like a family home full of love, joy and exceptional care.

Over the three years, my mother was a resident of Stanley Lodge, she was very well cared for by a pleasant and efficient staff. It felt like home from home, and I have nothing but praise for all the staff who treat my mother with kindness and dignity.

My mother went to live at Stanley Lodge just before Christmas 2019. From day one, the staff have been excellent and very, very caring. Stanley Lodge is home-from-home. Managed professionally by Mother and Daughter team. The meals were always tasty, so we were told by Mum. She had her 100th birthday
and was treated like a queen. They are like on big family. We cannot praise them all enough.

This is more like a family home than a care home. The staff are always at hand whenever you need them. The rooms are always clean, and the beds are changed every week. The meals are good and varied and always plenty to eat. We have a variety of activities and entertainment, and yes, it is value for
money.

Stanley Lodge is a mixed residential care home situated in a rural location with easy access to major access roads. Entry to the home is excellently monitored, and visiting is a pleasurable experience. The staff are warm and friendly both to clients and visitors, and you are made most welcome. There
are varied rooms available, and the clients are well looked after. The home requires modernisation and updating. It's not cheap, but you can feel reassured that loved ones are being cared for in a professional manner. An excellent manager is in charge.

My mother has been a resident at Stanley Lodge Residential Home for almost two years. She is 91 and enjoys the day to day contact/relationship with all of the staff and has no complaints. They are always willing to help without hesitation. She feels safe and happy there. I think this home is well run
under the direction of the care home manager.

My mother has benefitted from the excellent care at Stanley Lodge for over 2 years and throughout this period I have been particularly impressed by the personalised plan for her dementia and the caring nature of the staff that attend to her and her specific needs.
I am confident that the high quality
of care ensures her happiness despite her limited quality of life and she benefits from the stimulation she receives from the staff and other residents in this small and friendly home.
I am particularly grateful for the flexible and efficient management which facilitates after change between the care home and her own home when she can be looked after by family members. I am certain that my mother is receiving the best possible care she can have and this is immensely reassuring.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Stanley Lodge Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.850 for Stanley Lodge Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.85

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stanley Lodge Residential Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 23 registered maximum number of service users is 4.6, which has been reached with 9 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.
