Hesketh Park Lodge (23 017 365b)
Statement Not upheld Residential care 29-Jun-2025
Summary: Miss A complained about the care her grandmother, Mrs B, received while at Hesketh Park Lodge (the Care Home), owned and run by Athena Healthcare Group. Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) part funded the placement and Mrs B also received NHS Continuing Healthcare funding. The family also paid extra to have 1:1 care when the Council reduced the funded hours. Since making her complaint, the Care Home has different management and a fully staffed care team. It has changed its processes and uses different systems to help care for its residents. I discontinue the investigation on the basis we can achieve nothing more.
