About Us

Abbey Wood Lodge Care Home is a residential care home in Ormskirk, Lancashire. We support older people who need help with daily life, including many living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with mental health needs, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays. Supporting people this different from one another means planning around each person rather than running the house to a single pattern. Everyone here has their own plan, agreed with them and with anyone they want involved, covering not just the help they need but what they want their days to hold. The basics apply to everybody. People choose when to get up, what to eat and how much company they want. Privacy is respected, personal care is given quietly and at the person's own pace, and rooms are furnished with people's own belongings. Our team stays as settled as we can manage, because knowing somebody properly is what lets you notice an early change and understand what lies behind distress instead of simply containing it. Where a resident has limited sight or hearing, the way we approach and speak to them takes account of it. Health needs are managed with local GPs and community teams, and families hear from us early. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. Please come and look round.
