About Aykroyd Lodge

Aykroyd Lodge is a small residential care home based in Lancashire, offering a calm and homely setting for those who need a little extra support in their daily lives. Its size means that residents can be known as individuals, with care that feels personal rather than institutional. For families exploring their options, it can be reassuring to find a place that aims to feel like a genuine home rather than simply a facility.

Aykroyd Lodge provides accommodation and personal care to up to 5 people with a learning disability. At inspection, 3 people were living at the home. Staff supported people to have maximum choice and control of their lives in the least restrictive way possible, and there were enough skilled and experienced staff to safely care for people.

Staff supported people with their dietary requirements and to enjoy meaningful activities.

However, risks to people's safety were not always managed and recorded well. Capacity assessments and consent to care forms had not been reviewed or updated for a long period of time, and policies and systems in the service did not always support best practice. Improvements were also needed to the environment to ensure it was suitable for the people living at the service.
