Visit my auntie every Wednesday in this nursing home. Every time I visit, I am greeted by a member of reception with a smile and a friendly conversation. Always clean, with good decor. All staff I have come across are friendly and caring. Would have no problem recommending this lovely nursing home to
anyone who would need one.

Thank you for your review. We are happy that you have found a home for your mother to live where she is happy and well cared for.

My mum has thrived in here, health-wise. She is not social so all the wonderful activities we have trouble encouraging her to do but what you put on is amazing. The only downside is food, she is constantly dissatisfied but will not speak up (cold, hard veg, just not enjoyable) and the menu was one of
the things we were impressed with at first as Mum wasn't eating. For the price we pay, food is a disappointment. Staff are fabulous!

Reply from Carol Curtis, Home Manager at Lighthouse Lodge

We are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with the food. We will raise your concerns to the catering team. But we are happy that you are finding the well-being and activities stimulating for your mum.

You never get a second chance of a first impression. As soon as I walked into Lighthouse Lodge the reception was warm and welcoming. I booked my husband in for respite having spent many weeks in hospital. The whole team do an excellent job. All carers, kitchen staff, laundry, housekeeping, managers,
entertainment is 10/10.
Would certainly recommend this care home.

I used Lighthouse Lodge for respite care for my 89-year-old mother in September 2023. The stay was booked very quickly as due to unforeseen circumstances I had to arrange full-time care for her for 2 weeks. The Lodge was clean, bright and airy. The staff were very helpful and each time I rang to check
Mum's progress they were knowledgeable about her care. Mum returned home in a much better state of health. I would definitely recommend Lighthouse Lodge to friends and family. Well done everyone!

My mum started at Lighthouse Lodge for respite care after an illness. Mum required help with her recuperation and building her strength back up. Four weeks at Lighthouse Lodge and I feel like I have got my mum back. The care and social aspects were vital to her recovery. Thank you all!

Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to look after your mum, she embraced everything that Lighthouse Lodge has to offer which aided her recovery as quickly as it did. We are happy that she is now well enough to return home and is doing well.

My mum, 93 years of age, has been in Lighthouse Lodge for nearly five months and I am extremely happy with the care you have given her over this time. Since she arrived from a long stay in the hospital, after numerous falls, her health has improved and has even gained a bit of weight. When I visit,
she always looks clean and tidy. All the staff on Vale ward are excellent in caring for my mum. I cannot praise them enough, I must also mention all the entertainment girls who do a great job and not forgetting the reception staff who are so welcoming on my visits. I just would like to thank you all.

Really wished I had listened to the rumours surrounding Lighthouse Lodge regarding their staffing problems! Instead, I chose to ignore them and go see for myself. Every question I had was answered so I felt reassured. Sadly my mum has been dreadfully let down and her end-of-life care is now up in the
air. The home claimed on the show around that if a resident declines in the care side they are guaranteed a bed in the Marine View Lodge - and if the Marine View Lodge had no beds the Lighthouse Lodge would still accommodate until a bed becomes available. Sadly this has not been the case so they terminated my mum's contract whilst in the hospital and left her homeless to find palliative care. The staff on the floors - what they had of them were excellent there, just wasn’t enough with some of my visits having no staff present on the floor at all! Really be sure before moving a loved one in. I wish I listened.

Reply from Sarah Messenger, Quality Manager at Lighthouse Lodge

We are very sorry you are disappointed. We can assure you that at all times Lighthouse Lodge is staffed to the required levels. Regrettably, given the shortage of care staff available for full-time employment, that sometimes means we need to use agency staff. But there is always the required number of staff. Lighthouse Lodge provides and is only registered to provide residential care. Our sister home, Marine View Lodge, provides and is registered to provide, nursing care. We are sure that you will have been told that if your mother, as a resident of Lighthouse Lodge, were to decline to such an extent that nursing care was required, she could move to Marine View if a bed was available. We cannot ever guarantee that a bed will be available and we are sorry that you misunderstood that we could. We are sorry that you feel let down, but we cannot breach Lighthouse Lodge’s registration by re-admitting from hospital when your mum requires nursing care

Our wonderful Dad sadly passed away this year, 2023. The love, care and support that not only Dad but also the family were given by the Vale team, at such an emotional time was second to none.
Throughout Dad's 2yr stay at Lighthouse Lodge he was treated with dignity, spent lots of time having fun
and laughter with the staff (our adopted extended family) and could not have been happier. We as a family have nothing but praise for the amazing group of people who enriched Dad's life and gave us peace of mind that he was being well looked after.
To everyone involved, we send our love and thanks.

Reply from Beverley Favager, Lodge Service Advisor at Lighthouse Lodge

Your lovely comments have been passed on to the staff on Vale. They have advised it was an absolute pleasure to look after your lovely Dad and he is very much missed. Residents and their families become part of the Lighthouse Lodge family and we are glad you felt that way and were helped through a very difficult and emotional time. We are happy to know your dad experienced fun and laughter with the staff and he was well looked after, thank you for sharing your experience with us, it is very much appreciated.

My mother sadly passed away after fourteen months of outstanding care from a highly professional and compassionate team who treated my mother as an individual and with dignity. They enriched her quality of life in the time she was with them. This unit is streets ahead of its competitors, and as a retired
registered nurse I was impressed from day one by their high standards. I would like to thank all the staff for caring for my feisty independent-minded mother who was happy to be a resident in Lighthouse Lodge.

It was a pleasure to care for your mum, and she will be greatly missed at Lighthouse Lodge.

When we first visited Lighthouse Lodge my mother-in-law was going through a very worrying time, her home was closing down. We did not know what to do. We went to several local care homes but nothing quite suited. On our first visit to Lighthouse Lodge, we met with the Lodge Service Advisor. We were
from the start put at ease. Everyone made us feel at home and welcomed. My Mother-in-law loves the Lighthouse Lodge so do we.

Reply from Beverley Favager, Lodge Service Advisor at Lighthouse Lodge

We are very pleased you chose Lighthouse Lodge, thank you! It is a very difficult time when a loved one's care home is closing and a worry for the family and resident. We try to put families at ease and make the transition to our care home as smooth and worry free as possible. It is a pleasure to have your mother-in-law stay with us, she is now part of the family and we are very lucky she chose Lighthouse Lodge as her new home. Thank you for your kind review.

After a lot of heartache and research, we as a family decided it would be better and safer for our dad to go into Lighthouse Lodge as he needed 24-hour care and we couldn't look after him 24-7. We decided on Lighthouse Lodge as it was new, clean, and has plenty going on for the residents. After being
in there for 27-months we now know we made the right decision for him, from reception to management, cleaners to entertainment staff, nothing is too much trouble. Everyone there is on hand to help. Dad is always clean and tidy when we visit and we can pop in at any time, Covid-19 allowing. The staff treat him like family and look after him as good as we would do if he was at home, his room is spotlessly clean and tidy, the food and treats are great and most weeks there's a party going, no excuse needed. If we can't visit with Covid-19 restrictions, we know we can phone up at any time to ask how he is and know that if he's not ok a doctor would be called out to check him over.

My mum was a resident for sixteen months until she passed away. I chose Lighthouse Lodge without being able to visit due to covid. I formed my decision by reviewing and speaking to relatives of residents who all could not praise the care enough.
I was kept updated on all aspects of mum's care by the
Unit Leads, they have direct access to the Doctors surgery, all medical issues were dealt with promptly.
I visited regularly without notice and she was always immaculate with her hair and makeup done. I enjoyed having lunch with her and the food was exceptional.
The facilities are kept spotlessly clean. Clothes are laundered and returned daily. Activities staff are amazing fun and bring so much joy with inventive engaging activities.
I stayed with mum as she entered the end of life, I saw the level of care she received which was professional, dignified, caring and loving. I believe Lighthouse to be the best care facility on the Wirral and I cannot thank the Manager and her team enough.

Reply from Beverley Favager, Lodge Service Advisor at Lighthouse Lodge

What a glowing review, thank you! Our staff are thrilled you feel Lighthouse Lodge is the best care facility on the Wirral. They all work so hard, whether it be our chefs, laundry and housekeeping staff, Unit leads, our fabulous carers etc; they all play a very important role in making our home so special.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.681)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.681) out of 10 for Lighthouse Lodge 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.681 for Lighthouse Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (227 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.681

  • 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 Lighthouse Lodge is based on 25 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 25 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.

Having worked in care for 20 years, I have progressed within my role as a Home Manager by gaining qualifications to achieve The Registered Managers Award and Level 4 in Adult Social Care.


As well as gaining experience working with the elderly, including those living with Dementia, I have discovered a great passion for helping provide an excellent standard of care in all aspects of the care sector.


At Lighthouse Lodge, we offer a welcoming home with a range of high-quality amenities and activities. We like to make sure our residents’ opinions are voiced and heard, encouraging all staff and residents to bring new ideas for us to include in our programme of care to improve well-being and help build friendships to ensure you continue to live your life to the full.
