  • Gilwood Lodge Nursing Home, Blackpool
Gilwood Lodge Nursing Home is a high-quality care facility that enjoys a great location in the South Shore area of Blackpool, just a short stroll away from the resort’s world-famous promenade, golden sands and many attractions.

A £1.4m renovation has transformed Gilwood Lodge into a modern, comfortable care home. Its 47 bedrooms (43 en suite) benefit from a calming colour scheme and modern amenities like Smart TVs, while new luxurious pamper bathrooms equipped with cosseting multi-sensory baths are present.

There are welcoming and comfortable communal areas offering the latest in technological and sensory features. A restful dementia memory garden provides a tranquil space where residents can enjoy the fresh sea air.

Gilwood Lodge provides quality nursing care and individualised care packages for people living with a dementia or a related condition, and compassionate holistic care to those with palliative and end-of-life care needs.

Staff at Gilwood Lodge believe a diagnosis of dementia is not given to an individual but to all their loved ones, and so values all who are involved.

The team is made up of experienced, qualified and caring professionals chosen for their genuine desire to make a lasting positive impact on the lives of residents, families and the wider community.

Residents can engage in a diverse range of activities and have a wide choice of delicious and nutritious meals to choose from.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Took our beloved dad to live at Gilwood today. Staff were fabulous gave us time to look and explore, listened to us and him. Actually the word 'staff' is not right but Manager, nurses, carers and all other members of the very important team gave time, expertise and comfort to us all, nothing was too
much trouble and allayed all our worries and concerns. Sure dad will be very happy in their loving care.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.962)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.962) out of 10 for Gilwood Lodge Nursing 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 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 4.724 for Gilwood Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 76 Ratings = 4.724

  • 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 4.238 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gilwood Lodge Nursing 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.638

  • 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.
