About Norton Lodge

Norton Lodge is a residential care home in Runcorn. We support older people and younger adults, and we offer both permanent places and respite stays for those needing care for a short period or whose regular carer needs a rest. The people who live here need different things from us. Many need help with personal care, moving about safely, medication and meals. A number are living with dementia, and for them we keep the day recognisable, keep the same staff around and work at their pace rather than ours. We also support people living with mental ill health, working alongside community mental health colleagues, and people with physical disabilities, where equipment, seating and access decide how much independence somebody actually has. We want to be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather tell you that here than let you find it elsewhere. We understand what the inspectors raised with us, we are working through it, and we are willing to discuss any part of it with anybody considering a place here or already living with us. What we are working towards is a house that feels like a home: food cooked on the premises, somewhere quiet as well as somewhere sociable, and visitors welcome without appointment. Please come and see us and ask us anything.
