My grandma was here for 4 years of excellent care throughout. Residents are always very happy, well fed and have lots of activities. The family is allowed to visit at any time. Grandma was here through the Covid pandemic and the staff were very good and handled it extremely well.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, your grandma was a lovely lady.

After visiting many care homes I was fortunate to secure a place for my mum. She is in her twilight years with dementia so I had to feel confident she could be cared for in the same way that I had cared for her. I need not have worried! From the Manager at its helm and down through the team, everyone
is polite, thoughtful, caring and conscientious. When visiting mum, the carers are knowledgeable about her and share information, good or bad which is so comforting. Menus on the wall show me what meals are served and the cleanliness is second to none. Our loved ones are entertained with professional singers etc and crafts are encouraged. Imagine my delight at seeing mum paint an Easter egg for the care home decoration. I feel truly supported in a way that I never imagined and am so grateful. Well done to all at the Lodge.

My Mum took a room at the Lodge at the end of December 2023. She has settled in wonderfully and always comments on how nice and caring the staff are towards her. I have always found the staff to be excellent and help in any way they can. It is such a joy to have Mum looked after so well.

My Mum has been a resident of Freckleton Lodge since January 2020. Mum, my brother and I can’t speak highly enough of the first-class care in a loving environment provided by the Manager and the team. All the carers are just wonderful as are the housekeeping and kitchen staff. Mum has been so happy
there and it has made her latter years such quality ones. Lots of activities and a great programme of entertainment. When we visit Mum we’re made so welcome. Freckleton Lodge very much feels like home, not ‘a home’

Freckleton Lodge is just so friendly and inclusive. All the staff are extremely caring and all know all the residents.
There is so much going on for the residents to get involved in and things for them to look forward to.
The whole ambience of the place is great with residents all interacting.
I wish all care homes were like this. Thank you.

For me, this is the best dementia care home in the area by a distance. As soon as you walk in you can feel the happy atmosphere and the way the home is decorated stands it apart from others I’ve seen. The staff are fantastic and really care about each and every resident, and they go out of their way
to ensure that their needs are met. There are lots of activities going on all year round and the imagination of the owners in terms of the variety of what they organise is fantastic.

Freckleton Lodge is the most wonderful care home. They took such wonderful care of my mum who had Alzheimer's, they gave her over 2 years of care and love. My daughters have promised me if I need the care in the future, they will make sure I will live there as per my wishes. I can never thank them enough.

My mum lived at Freckleton Lodge for 2 and a half years.
The staff were always very friendly and polite. This, along with the cleanliness of the home, made Freckleton Lodge a nice place to visit.
Mum was cared for in the best way. Freckleton Lodge aided her to feel safe and secure, relaxed and happy.
Mum spent her last days at Freckleton Lodge. The support from the care home was absolutely brilliant. They were so supportive to mum and ensured all of her needs were met. They also provided an unmeasurable amount of support to me and my brother at such a sad time.
I have recommended this care home to friend and family for their loved ones.

High-quality care home with friendly and efficient staff. The moment you walk in, you notice a pristine, clean environment with comfortable lounges and bedrooms. My 94-year-old Mum has been here now for 30 months and I cannot thank the management and staff enough for the love, care and attention toward
her.

Friendly, polite and very helpful staff. The love and care offered by the staff is outstanding. The entertainment given is of a very good standard which is obviously enjoyed by many. It is good to watch some of the Facebook videos of the musical sessions which are held at Freckleton Lodge. The home
is always clean and the grounds are well tended.

My brother has dementia and l am very pleased that he is being looked after by Freckleton Lodge, the staff are so friendly. They are always smiling and include all residents in a very caring manner. The home is always adding new things to stimulate the residents and frequently have people coming in
to entertain them. The staff also arrange outings and walks. My brother seems very happy and they always make him laugh. This is a great place to stay

The home is friendly and welcoming. Residents move around between the beautifully decorated lounges and there is a feeling of freedom and friendliness throughout. The staff are always available and encouraging.
My aunt is very happy staying in Freckleton Lodge. She loves being free to go out into
the garden in the warm weather and enjoys all the activities that are arranged. The live music and outings are so stimulating. I can phone up and speak to her at any time and staff always find time to fetch her to the phone.
Freckleton Lodge provides the sort of environment that I would hope will be available to me, if I ever need to go into care.

My aunt has been in Freckleton Lodge for 10 months. She is extremely happy and in her own words says the staff are lovely. Her room is cosy and the main rooms are beautifully decorated and stimulating. Recently a quiet reading area has been created and a few hens and tortoises introduced for the guests
to help care for. I have lost track of all the activities and parties. There is a live band every week which involves singing and dancing. There has been a Halloween party, a switching on of the Christmas lights party and that's before we get to the main Christmas events! I think my auntie has done more varied activities in the home than she has done for years. Playing musical instruments and drawing. But all that would be of little value if the care was not up to standard. The care she receives is excellent. Staff take the time to sit with her when she gets a bit weepy and they are all so cheery and positive. I can feel confident that she is happy, safe and treated with dignity.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.025)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.025) out of 10 for Freckleton Lodge 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 4 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 4.936 for Freckleton Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 4.089 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Freckleton Lodge is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.714

  • 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.
