What inspectors found

Inspected 2022-06-29

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    The home was rated Good for safety at the June 2022 inspection. This domain covers how the home manages risk, medicines, staffing levels, and infection control. The July 2023 monitoring review found no evidence to suggest safety had deteriorated. The home cares for adults with dementia and physical disabilities, both of which carry specific safety considerations around falls, wandering, and medication management. No specific safety concerns were raised in the published report.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection. This domain covers training, care plans, healthcare coordination, and nutrition. The home lists dementia as a specialism, which implies staff should have relevant training and that care plans should reflect dementia-specific needs. No specific detail about training content, GP access frequency, or care plan review processes is provided in the published summary. The overall Good rating suggests inspectors found the core requirements to be met.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    The Caring domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and whether your parent is treated as an individual. No direct quotes from residents or relatives are included in the published report, and no specific observations of staff interactions are described. The Good rating indicates inspectors found the standard of care to be positive overall. The home's experience with dementia suggests staff should understand the importance of non-verbal communication and personalised interaction.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection. This domain covers activities, engagement, individuality, and end-of-life care. No specific activity types, frequency, or examples of tailored engagement are described in the published report. The home caters for adults with dementia and physical disabilities, both of which require careful thought about how activities are designed and delivered. No information about one-to-one engagement for people who cannot join group activities is provided.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    The Well-led domain was rated Good at the June 2022 inspection. The home is operated by Amicura Limited, with a nominated individual named in the registration. A monitoring review conducted in July 2023, approximately 13 months after the inspection, found no evidence requiring the rating to be changed. This suggests leadership has been stable and governance has been maintained. No specific information about manager tenure, staff culture, or communication with families is included in the published report.

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.

74/ 100

DCC Family Score

Haslingden Hall and the Lodge holds a Good rating across all five inspection domains, which translates to a solid mid-range Family Score of 74. The inspection findings confirm consistent positive practice, but the published report contains limited specific observations, direct quotes, or individual examples that would push the score higher.

Homes in North West typically score 68–82.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Haslingden Hall and the Lodge, in Rossendale, was inspected in June 2022 and rated Good across all five domains: Safety, Effectiveness, Caring, Responsiveness, and Leadership. A monitoring review carried out in July 2023 found no evidence to change that rating, suggesting the home has maintained its standards in the period since inspection. The home is registered for 76 beds and has specific experience with dementia, physical disabilities, and adults both over and under 65. It is run by Amicura Limited. The main limitation of this report is that the published inspection text contains very limited specific detail. There are no direct quotes from your mum or dad, no named observations of staff interactions, and no individual examples of care in practice. A Good rating is genuinely positive, but for a home supporting people with dementia it is important to look beyond the headline. When you visit, ask to see the dementia unit after 6pm, find out how many permanent staff are on overnight, and observe whether staff use your parent's preferred name and take time to sit with them.
