with considerable clinical and professional experience.
I highly recommend windyridge for your loved ones.

& all this made our family visits a more pleasant experience for both him & us.
The home put on lots of special fun events & we went to several of them. All the residents seem to enjoy them & to watch the kindness & effort the staff put on was amazing. The home was always kept clean & fresh smelling & the residents were respected, very clean & presentable.
When dad was at end of life, we were able to come & go as we pleased to be with him in his last few days of life. Staff gave my dad great dignity & were helpful & respectful of our last moments with him.
10/10 for the manager, nurses, assistants, cleaning & cooking & admin staff. Set in a great location close to the sea.

for us as we are two hrs away.

The care home is a 15 minute walk from the station if you're unable to drive. The care our mother received was attentive and kind. At her previous care home eating was an issue (time and food wise), however at Birchy our mother soon gained weight due to the nutritious meals and the ability of the kitchen to blend every course/meal to the right consistency so our mother could eat. Our mother passed away at Birchy Hill in February 25 and up until the end of the life we were satisfied the best was being done for her.

husband has had some health issues which have been sorted out by the health team.

look forward to and the staff sometimes join in, run by an enthusiastic events manager. The gardens are well maintained and much enjoyed when the weather allows. Birchy has its own coach which is used to take residents on outings, to keep in touch with the wider world. Again much enjoyed. The library has a wide range of books etc. which I have used to entertain my wife and residents use frequently. It's always a pleasure to visit and there are lots of options for us to choose to do. You should visit, you might be surprised.

painted, with our pictures put up exactly where we'd asked for them.
All the hard-working staff are friendly, welcoming friends and family alike. The staff closely involved in my husband's care show a genuine interest in him as a person and ask us about his likes and dislikes to ensure they make him as happy as possible. Any issues are quickly resolved, e.g. a broken lamp was promptly replaced.
The activities team excelled themselves leading up to Christmas, creating a fun-filled atmosphere. (The busy staff even found time to join in.)
The admin lady is a 'font of all knowledge' and has been quietly wonderful and an essential part in helping our family cope with this huge change in our lives.

just amazing.

involved with or learn from.
I trust Birchy Hill with my loved one implicitly and find peace in the fact that I am included in their care plan and regularly updated if I am unable to visit for a couple of days.
My whole family are forever grateful that we found Birchy Hill and are confident to recommend their outstanding care and facilities to anyone who enquires.

so kind, patient and understanding, taking time to know each resident and their individual needs, nothing is ever too much trouble. They also readily offer support and understanding to relatives.
Birchy has a wonderful and extremely varied programe of entertainment organised by a dedicated team of ladies full of enthusiasm, who also interact and know all residents.
The meals are home-cooked and well-balanced all overseen by the head chef.
Everyone contributes to the happy and friendly atmosphere, from the manager (who visits each resident daily) to the cleaning team, the maintenance and groundsmen, all greeting the residents and visitors whilst keeping everything immaculate.
Thank you all so much.

after our mother.
At all times, intimate care has been undertaken with great respect and dignity for our mother on a daily basis - a really almost angelic service.
The kitchen staff have provided good, wholesome food and when needed, have taken the time and trouble to puree food or provide alternatives if needed.
Amazing all round.

environment is outstanding - clean, warm and welcoming. We visit Granny often and are always made to feel welcome by the team. The team members in her community are consistent which is so important - they all know Granny and her needs and they all know us!
Granny has had a tough couple of years settling in other care homes for various reasons and it is with our gratitude to the manager and his team at Birchy Hill for the genuine care and support they give to us all.
Birchy Hill Care Home is the example that every nursing and care home provider should strive to be like.
Thank you for all you do!

appearing musicians, have sometimes made Birchy Hill Care Home feel more like a theatre/entertainment centre than a care home. The "leisure and lifestyle" team have done an exceptional job throughout the year in creating a happy atmosphere but this Christmas season they have gone above and beyond their normal range of activities.
Thank you to three members of staff, in particular, for being the icing on the cake that is Birchy Hill.
Enormous thanks to all the staff who have cared for my wife so well throughout 2024. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas!

enough of this home. The grounds are lovely and well-maintained too.
Staff are exceptional I have found.

visitors. Every time I visit, the same show of attention and affection never ceases to amaze me.
My mother is extremely well looked after and all her needs are well met, she feels loved and is always happy.
