About Us

We at Willow Lodge welcome you to our nursing home in Ormskirk, Lancashire, where we provide dedicated older person care in a warm and homely setting. Our community is thoughtfully designed to support residents living with a range of needs, offering a place where dignity, comfort, and companionship come first.

Nestled within the familiar surroundings of Ormskirk, our home benefits from the peaceful character of this well loved Lancashire market town. Residents enjoy a setting that feels connected to the local community whilst offering the calm and privacy that supports genuine wellbeing. The location makes visiting straightforward for families across the L postcode area and the wider North West region.

Our specialisms span nursing care, dementia care, and respite care alongside our commitment to older person care. For residents requiring nursing support, this means access to skilled clinical attention within a residential environment that never loses its homely feel. For those living with dementia, our approach centres on patience, familiarity, and person led routines that help each individual feel safe and understood. Our respite care offers families a trusted option when a loved one needs short term support, whether following a hospital stay, during a carer's holiday, or simply to trial life within our community.

In practice, this blend of specialisms means residents and their families can rely on continuity. Should needs change over time, the right level of support is already in place, sparing families the worry of arranging a move at a difficult moment. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we take that trust seriously every day.

We believe in being open about our journey. Our most recent CQC inspection in February 2023 resulted in an overall rating of Inadequate, with concerns identified around Safe and Well led practices, and Requires Improvement noted for Effective and Responsive care. We recognise the weight of these findings and are committed to meaningful, sustained improvement. Encouragingly, inspectors rated our Caring domain as Good, reflecting the genuine warmth and compassion our team brings to every interaction with residents. This foundation of kindness is something we build upon as we strengthen every other aspect of our home.

We want families considering Willow Lodge to have a full and honest picture. We warmly invite you to get in touch, arrange a visit, and speak with us directly about the care your loved one may need and the progress we are making. Meeting our team, seeing our home, and asking any questions in person is the best way to decide whether we are the right fit for your family. Whatever stage of the journey you are on, we are here to listen with compassion and to support you thoughtfully.
