Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

The care staff generally know her well and understand her needs and difficulties, particularly her confabulation. This is less so with bank staff which has caused problems including failure to ensure that she takes her medication.
Staff show patience with her confusion and poor memory particularly
as her dementia progresses.
She is very independent and recent memory deterioration has made it difficult to provide personal care as she refuses help. By working together, she now allows laundry to be done for her in Aron Crest but general cleaning and personal cleanliness remain a problem.

My husband has been a resident at Aaron Crest for more than two years. In all that time the care and consideration from all the staff has been of the highest quality. I know that he is in safe hands and have total confidence in the care that he is receiving.

Really impressed with the personal care related to my mum.
The staff in particular are extremely friendly, polite, helpful and honest. They cannot do enough to look after my mum.
I don't want to single out any one member of the team because they are all first-class and simply love each and every one
of them!
Thank you to everyone at Aaron Crest Care Home Skelmersdale.

My Mother was in her end-of-life period recently. Aarson Crest provided an extremely welcomed package of support for both my Mother and her immediate family. Nothing was too much for Aaron Crest. Their level of care and support surpassed my expectations and was truly extraordinary.
This enabled my
Mother to travel through the last days of her life, continuing to feel safe and loved. Thank you Aaron Crest.

Reply from Tara Morris, Manager at Aaron Crest Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to not only care for Mum but provide you, as a family somewhere you could all come and spend that quality time together. I'm glad you all felt supported by us all here at Aaron Crest.

I would like to commend the staff of Aaron Crest Care Home. I live in the USA and my dad is 97 years old and means the world to me. The staff are taking great care of my dad. They are warm and friendly and build positive and trusting relationships with the patients and their families. I no longer worry
about my dad because I know these kind and professionally competent staff are taking first class care of him. The staff helped my dad get into a routine and settled in. They treat everyone like family and are never too busy to stop and help whenever they see a need. My dad is much happier now that he has people around him that truly care and make him feel like he belongs. I cannot thank the staff enough for their hard work and commitment to their work. They love what they do and it shows. They are really making a huge difference in the quality of life for all of their residents. They are to be commended for the excellent manner and top quality service they are providing.

Reply from Tara Morris, Manager at Aaron Crest Care Home

Thank you so much for such a lovely review, I am glad you are no longer worrying about Dad and are happy with the care he is receiving. The staff really do care about the care they provide and building those trusting relationships so I shall pass your kind words on to them.

Our experience has improved since my last review as there is evidence of much better organisation and communication is more forthcoming. The staff are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. My mum is very complimentary about them all.

Putting a loved one into care is one of the hardest decisions anyone has to make. The loving care and attention is given by Aaron Crest has helped immensely with this burden and I know from my families very frequent visits and what my relative tells me, that they are very well taken care.

Mum is happy due to the care and attention shown by the care staff, they relate to her on a day to day basis and I and involved in her care by being given up to date information each time I visit. Since moving to Aareon Crest Care Home mum's mood has lifted and she tells me she enjoys taking part in
all the daily activities. I am extremely happy with all aspects of the home. The staff are to be congratulated for the care they give and the happy atmosphere at the home.

Have been here for a few months. Rooms, food, and all the staff are excellent. Staff have always got time to help me out, plus if I need to go into town for something, it's not a problem to them as they will always try to help you out as I suffer from memory loss. I have been in another care home but
it's not a patch on this one. I would recommend this care home to anyone. Have discussed this with my social worker to suggest Aaron Crest Care Home for anyone in the future. Hope this helps.

I would thoroughly recommend this home. The staff are hardworking, patient, caring and friendly whatever time of day I or my daughter visit. My husband was admitted in March of this year initially as respite but when his condition of vascular dementia deteriorated he was admitted on a permanent basis
and I cannot fault any of the care he has received from all the staff.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.801) out of 10 for Aaron Crest Care Home 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.746 for Aaron Crest Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.746

  • 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 4.055 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aaron Crest Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.455

  • 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.

Tara Morris

Job Title: Manager

Joined: 2022

I have worked in a variety of roles in the care sector since 2009, starting as a care assistant and becoming a manager in 2017. I joined Hill Care in 2022 as manager of Barnfield Care Home before moving to Lancashire where I became manager of Aaron Crest. I have achieved several qualifications throughout my career which amongst others include a Degree in Health and Social Care Management and a Dementia Leadership Award.
My proudest moments include assisting someone who had been severely self-neglected to reach their rehab potential resulting in them going home to live independently. Seeing staff progress to take on new roles and seeing a peaceful end-of-life journey for my residents.


I believe you should treat everyone as you would want to be treated and aim to make our resident's lives as happy and meaningful as possible. My interests include -Tissue viability, end of life and Dementia Care.
