About Us

Woodlands Lodge Care Home in Formby is a residential care home serving Sefton and the wider Liverpool area. We look after older people, including those living with dementia, adults with physical disabilities and younger adults, and we welcome people for respite stays as well as permanently.

We try to keep the place feeling like a home rather than a facility. Rooms belong to the people in them, complete with their own furniture, photographs and clutter. The day has a shape without being a timetable, and nobody is obliged to join in with anything. There is usually something going on for those who want it and somewhere quiet for those who do not.

For people living with dementia, consistency does most of the work. Familiar staff, a predictable routine, surroundings that make sense and time given rather than rushed. We learn about people's earlier lives, from them and from families, because knowing who somebody has been changes how you talk with them now. Where somebody with a physical disability wants to keep doing things for themselves, we make sure the equipment and the layout help rather than hinder.

Families are welcome, involved in reviews and listened to when they disagree with us. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Do ring if you would like to look round Formby and see how the home feels on an ordinary day.
