What inspectors found

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The effective domain was rated Good at the December 2021 inspection. The published text does not include detail about how care plans are written, how often they are reviewed, what dementia training staff receive, or how the home manages GP access and health monitoring. The home is listed as having a dementia specialism, but no information about what that means in practice is available in the published findings.Is this home caring?
The caring domain was rated Good at the December 2021 inspection. No specific inspector observations about staff warmth, use of preferred names, pace of interactions, or responses to distress are included in the published text. There are no resident or relative quotes available from this inspection. The Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied with what they observed, but the detail behind that judgement is not in the public report.Is the home responsive?
The responsive domain was rated Good at the December 2021 inspection. The published text contains no detail about the activities programme, individual engagement for people who cannot join groups, end-of-life care planning, or how the home responds to individual residents' changing needs and preferences. The home's registration confirms it serves people living with dementia, which implies some level of tailored responsiveness, but this is not evidenced in the report text.Is the home well-led?
The well-led domain was rated Good at the December 2021 inspection, following a previous period of Requires Improvement. Miss Piriya Suresparan is named as the nominated individual for the provider, Flightcare Limited. The published text contains no detail about management visibility, staff culture, governance systems, or how the home handles complaints and learning from incidents. The improvement in rating from a lower baseline suggests leadership took earlier concerns seriously.

What the evidence base says
The home provides care for adults both over and under 65, including those living with dementia. They also offer dedicated short-term care places for those needing temporary support. For residents with dementia, the team focuses on maintaining dignity and providing individualised care. Families have observed how staff adapt their approach to each person's specific needs and preferences. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.
The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Courtfield Lodge achieved a Good rating across all five inspection domains after previously requiring improvement, which is a meaningful step forward. However, the published inspection text contains limited specific detail, so many scores reflect a positive but general picture rather than strong, verified evidence.
Homes in North West typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary
What families tell us
Families describe feeling reassured from their very first contact with the home. When they call to check on residents or make initial enquiries, staff take time to provide clear updates and answer questions thoroughly.
What inspectors have recorded
The management team appears to be driving positive changes throughout the home. Several families have noticed ongoing improvements and a clear vision for the home's future, backed by stable leadership that understands what quality care looks like.
How it sits against good practice
What stands out at Courtfield Lodge is how small, respectful gestures add up to significant changes in residents' lives — sometimes in ways that surprise even their families.
Worth a visit
Courtfield Lodge in Ormskirk was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last inspection in December 2021, published in January 2022. This is a meaningful improvement: the home had previously been rated Requires Improvement, which means inspectors found real concerns at an earlier visit and the provider addressed them. The home has 70 beds and is registered to care for people living with dementia, as well as adults both over and under 65. The honest limitation here is that the published inspection text is very short and contains almost no specific detail about what inspectors actually observed inside the home. Scores of Good are real and significant, but without inspector observations, resident quotes, or specific examples, it is not possible to go further than confirming the rating. Before you make a decision, visit in person: arrive unannounced if possible, watch how staff interact with residents in corridors and at mealtimes, and ask the manager directly about night staffing ratios, agency use, dementia training, and how families are kept informed.
