About Windmill Lodge
Windmill Lodge is a nursing home in Lytham St. Annes, Lancashire. We care for older people who need nursing support, people living with dementia and younger adults whose needs are best met in a nursing setting. We also welcome people for respite stays. There is something we would rather you heard from us first. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. That is not a comfortable sentence to write and we are not going to soften it. We have worked through what the inspection found, changed how we do things and put in place our own checks so we know whether those changes are holding rather than hoping they are. Please read the report in full, then come and see the home, and let the two sit side by side. What we are working towards is plain enough. Nursing needs met safely and calmly. Consistent staff who know each person, which matters most of all when somebody is living with dementia and a familiar face does more good than anything else. Days shaped by the people living them rather than by the rota. Families told things early rather than late. Respite guests are cared for with the same attention as everyone else, because a short stay still has to feel settled. If you are considering nursing care in Lytham St. Annes, please visit us and ask us anything you want to ask.
