Care Homes Owned by Locharwoods

My mum has been a very happy resident at Locharwoods for the last 2 years and I can highly recommend it . The staff are very friendly and caring and it's a lovely very homely environment not at all clinical . There is good continuity with the staff who are employed not agency staff which I think makes a big difference and it's been a pleasure to get to know them all over the last 2 years . They have all got to know my lovely mum . She has a lovely bright en-suite room overlooking the garden and I'm very happy that my mum is well cared for .

There are voluntary regular activities, and trips out to pub occasionally, and Xmas. Entertainers visit Locharwoods regularly for popular sing songs, and events. There are outdoor activities such as bbq, garden party, and the option just to sit in the secluded garden if desired

Lovely Care Home allways helpful staff and very friendly warm welcoming nice activities for Residents lovely garden area & conservatory very Halloween at moment cart wait to see the festive season decorations

My Nan spent the final weeks of her life being looked after at Locharwoods Birkdale. The care and support was second to none, as a family we could not have wished for more. All staff were attentive and caring in what was a really difficult time.

My Aunt Joan was a resident here recently until she sadly passed away , and prior to Aunt Joan my dear mum May was also here at Locharwoods Birkdale, I can't praise Heather and her team enough , we had great piece of mind that mum and Aunt Joan were so well looked after and most importantly " cared" for with respect and compassion, it truly is a home from home for your loved ones .

My mum Joyce resided at Locharwoods care home from August 2022 to May 2026, unfortunately for us mum passed away in may.. but I want to to leave my review from the time mum spent at Locharwoods.. mum was very happy at the home she loved all the staff and all the other residents, she said they were all her friends and not carers she was well loved cared for and treated with respect and dignity whilst in the care of Locharwoods, we as a family was well informed on mums day to day life nothing was to much trouble for Heather the manager and the staff, mum loved the food and was well catered for and anything mum wanted was no trouble for Paul snd Elaine the cooks.. mum loved her time at Locharwoods and was very happy there. We had a plan for mum that when the time came mums last remaining day were spent @ Locharwoods with her family and the staff who cared and loved her with respect and dignity in her last days .. Thank you Locharwoods for all you did for mum and us at that sad time..x

I am so pleased I picked Locharwoods for mum

There is lots of entertainment and the staff love doing activities with the residents .

Locharwoods of Birkdale is a smaller care home with a maximum of 19 residents. Locharwoods is a former large house, which results in a homely atmosphere rather than a purpose built 'institution'. It does not employ agency staff and the manager has worked there for over 15 years, resulting in staff having a working and caring relationship with each of the residents. The home recognises each resident's birthday and Christmas is made very special and everyone is encouraged to participate in all the celebrations organised by the staff. The staff ensure that residents can treat it as their home, visitors are made welcome, with no restrictions within the home throughout the visit. Unlike some nursing/care homes, there is no cut off time should a resident be returned from a hospital visit during the night. Locharwoods is really the resident's home from home, organised and run as such.

The staff work very hard to make sure residents are looked after. The activities and people they have to entertain are lovely. If the resident doesn't like what is on the menu then the kitchen staff will offer an alternative.

My wonderful mum was at Locharwoods this year for a short period . In that time the care she received was excellent. The staff are wonderful and like an extension of family . I would have no hesitation in recommending Locharwoods ,Heather and her staff

From the manager and assistant manager to the care team all the staff are approachable, kind and understanding.

A big shout out to an incredible bunch of staff!

The care staff really get to know the residents and have their best interests at heart, and try to keep them safe.

All the staff at Locharwoods, Formby, are very kind and thoughtful. They genuinely care about my mum and they are interested in her and listen to what she has to say. The home itself is lovely, warm and cosy with a real homely feel. This home has been a godsend for us. It has a beautiful garden and is in a lovely location. My mum is treated as an individual, with respect and courtesy.

Fabulous Jubilee Celebrations

The team at Locharwoods Birkdale ensured that the residents and guests enjoyed a fantastic celebration for the Jubilee. The garden looked incredible with bunting, flags and a spectacular display of plants.

The day was enhanced by great entertainment, dancing and delicious food. Thank you for all the hard work and effort involved in planning such a glorious celebration.

Mum has recently become a resident and the whole team at Locharwoods Birkdale have been fantastic. The home has everything required and the outside space and gardens are excellent. Despite mum being in very poor health the team have cared for her with great dignity and do their utmost to ensure they try and make her smile each day. It is clear mum is in great hands. However, probably what is often not considered, is how brilliant the whole team are, and especially the manager, with mum's relatives. They keep you up to date with everything that is going on and even send photographs when mum is having a good day! The manager has been excellent in completing the necessary admin and forms to help get mum's funding. I couldn't speak highly enough of Locharwoods Birkdale.

Nan moved into the home from another earlier in the year. Nan is living with dementia but has really settled in well at Locharwoods and comments how nice the staff are. It’s been a very difficult time the past year but the Manager has made sure we’ve been kept up to date regularly via emails.

I feel extremely grateful that my very good friend is at Locharwoods. It gives me peace of mind knowing that he is so well cared for.

My aunt has been resident in Locharwoods for the past 3 years and I have been very impressed with the personalised care that she has received over this time and the caring attitude of the manager and staff, particularly during this very difficult period of lockdown. It is a very homely care home and the residents do genuinely seem to be regarded as being part of one big family. The thought, effort and imagination that has gone into entertaining the residents and helping them cope with the restrictions and anxiety over this period has been most impressive and the regular updates for relatives have helped significantly with managing the uncertainty. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home to other families looking for a caring environment for their relative.
