The staff are very caring and do their best to look after the residents who all have advanced dementia. There is a nice atmosphere when I visit, often there are birthdays to celebrate and a cake is provided. I can’t think she would get this care at another home.

So many good things to say about Aigburth. Staff are very friendly, good team spirit, great atmosphere, lots of laughs. There are lots of activities organised for the residents such as gardening club, games, crafting, music performances, day trips out, coffee mornings, and so much more. There are lots
of tasty meals, good menu options from which the residents can choose. Good cleaning regime, spillages are quickly cleared away. Purpose-built as a care home, wheelchair accessible, wide corridors, every room is en-suite with a great garden view, with light and airy communal areas. Visitors are always made to feel welcome no matter what the time of day, you can even enjoy a meal with your loved one. We are so glad we chose Aigburth.

I have always been very satisfied with the way Aigburth have cared, over 9 years, for my aunt. The facilities are first class and the care excellent, especially over the last few months when my aunt has been extremely frail. They communicate well with my brother and I. I was disappointed that there
was no MHA home for my mother to go into and Aigburth compares well with with the one she is in now, which itself has 5 stars.

As a family, we are incredibly grateful to the staff at Aigburth Care Home for the recent care they have given to our dad following a rapid decline in his mental and physical health. This has been very traumatic for our whole family but everyone at Aigburth has been warm, welcoming and reassuring. This
has been consistent from the home manager to the carers, maintenance team, laundry and kitchen staff. It is wonderful to see the staff interacting in such a positive manner with all the patients and with one another. The individual care and attention to detail that has been shown to Dad has been amazing and we could not have wished for more. The wonderful volunteers have provided lots of opportunities for us, as a family, to become part of the everyday life at Aigburth and we have loved walking in the beautiful garden or going to the Sunday service. It is extra special that we have been able to take our little dog in to see Dad which has helped him to settle and has his brightened day! Thank you.

Mother-in-law well looked after by Aigburth since 2021 until her passing at ripe old age of 93 in September. Home is well managed and staff is good at communicating and engaging with family members, inviting them for meetings and updating them on wellbeing of their loved ones. Staff are all caring and
professional. In my mother-in-law's final days, the home was wonderfully accommodating with the large number of family members coming in and out of the home, making a difficult time less stressful. Thank you Aigburth for everything you've done, keep up the good work. Not easy looking after people with dementia, takes special people.

Reply from Naeema Adam, Administration Manager at Aigburth

All staff who work for Aigburth Care Home give their best. At times, I believe they would be helped with, if possible, one or two more staff, x few hours or whatever they require a week.
The home is one of the best I have visited. May it always be so.

On the whole, the standard of care is excellent.
A few things are missed but that is inevitable in such a large place.
The home is spotlessly clean and the staff are always well-presented and friendly.
The organised activities are fabulous.

My experience of Aigburth has been excellent. It is not easy to see a very close relative suddenly needing 24/7 care, but Aigburth has been the perfect place. All the staff I have contact with have been professional, supportive, and approachable. It has been good to have peace of mind that Mum is in
the best place for her at this stage of her life. The facilities are outstanding and seem more like a hotel. It was wonderful to have the use of the lounge for Mum's birthday, which made for a very special family time. Very thankful for Aigburth and all the staff.

I was delighted to be invited to an exhibition of residents’ art at Aigburth. My mum has always loved painting and was encouraged to take this up again and submit her work for the exhibition. I felt it gave her focus and huge enjoyment, being out in the garden during the summer.

The standard here is very good and the care is sometimes over the top but better that way than the other. Support is good and I have been treated with dignity when the support has been necessary. The staff and management do as well as can be expected when money is on a tight rein. I hope that when the
cost of living improves, the fees will come down proportionately and not stay at the level they are as the utilities do! I find my room on the small side and it is difficult to entertain visitors.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Aigburth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.871 for Aigburth is calculated as follows: ( (359 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 412 Ratings = 4.871

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aigburth is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
