About Aughton Park

Aughton Park is a residential care home in Lancashire, providing personal care for adults, including support for those with dementia-related illnesses. Further detail on how the home performs against CQC's standards is set out below.

This residential care home in Aughton accommodates up to 50 adults requiring personal care support, with 35 people living there at the time of inspection. A separate unit on the first floor serves those with dementia-related illnesses. All bedrooms are single occupancy with en-suite facilities, and a passenger lift provides access to the first floor.

During the inspection, the home demonstrated thoughtful pandemic management practices. The provider suspended new admissions while residents tested positive for COVID-19 and supported people and relatives through isolation processes with phone calls to loved ones and dedicated staff activity support. Where appropriate, residents remained in their own rooms to maintain familiar environments.

Staff were specifically allocated to support those isolating, and visitor bookings were spaced to prevent infection transmission. The home offered window visits and an external access room for visitors. PPE and cleaning products were well stocked and organised throughout the service.
