About Ascot Lodge Nursing Home
Ascot Lodge Nursing Home is in Southport. We care for older people who need nursing support, and we take respite admissions alongside permanent places. We have kept our focus on one thing: looking after older people well, in a proper home, with qualified nurses on site around the clock. That means we can support people whose health needs are complex or changing, manage a good deal here rather than sending somebody into hospital, and provide care towards the end of life calmly and without rush. It also means families are not left wondering what happens overnight. Clinical care is only part of the job, though. What people notice day to day is whether their relative is comfortable, clean, eating well, listened to and answered when they call, and whether the people looking after them know their name and their history. Those are the standards we hold ourselves to, and we would far rather be told honestly when we have fallen short than have it saved up. Respite admissions are planned properly, whether they are giving a family carer a genuine break or supporting somebody through a period of recovery after a spell in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, which we treat as a foundation rather than a conclusion. Families are welcome at Ascot Lodge at any reasonable hour. Please contact us if you would like to look round.
