About Cherry Tree Lodge Private Residential Care Home

Cherry Tree Lodge Private Residential Care Home sits in the county of Lancashire, offering families a place where their loved ones can feel genuinely at home. The team there takes a personal approach to residential care, with a focus on making each resident feel comfortable and valued in their day-to-day life. For families exploring care options in the area, it can be reassuring to find a smaller, close-knit home like this one, where staff have the opportunity to really get to know the people they support.

Cherry Tree Lodge provides residential care and personal care for up to 23 people in an adapted building, with 20 residents at the time of inspection. The home is registered to provide support in the community, though this service was not operating during the inspection. Staff safeguard people from abuse through effective systems and processes, and medicines are managed safely, though training in this area requires improvement.

The environment is clean and tidy, but infection prevention practices need strengthening.

The service ensures people have regular visitors and maintains safe recruitment processes with adequate staffing levels. Staff support residents to make choices and exercise control over their lives in the least restrictive way possible. However, various risks including fire safety and accident prevention were not always properly monitored, and the home's policies and systems do not consistently support practices that uphold people's independence and decision-making.
