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.
Thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased that you are happy with the care at Aigburth. We do our very best to ensure there is a happy atmosphere both for the residents and also, their families.
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.

The staff are welcoming and approachable. Mum has been supported in maintaining as much independence as possible whilst also having help whenever necessary.
Thank you for your kind words. We will share your review with our team.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear the lovely comments, which will be shared with the team. It is very much appreciated and we hope to continue to provide the best service.
Aigburth Care Home is a very welcoming place. The staff are very supportive and caring. The rooms are beautifully clean and ideal for their residents. There are numerous facilities, including the lovely gardens - attractive all year round.
Thank you for your review. We are so pleased to hear the lovely comments, which will be shared with the team. It is very much appreciated and we hope to continue to provide the best service.
My wife some five years ago had excellent treatment during her end of life. I have had to experience a stay some five years later and the care and events at Aigburth have not deteriorated in the years gone by.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear the lovely comments, which will be shared with the team, it is very much appreciated and we hope to continue to provide the best service.
Caring staff. Good facilities. Wonderful garden.
Thank you for your kind review. I will share it with the team.
The staff are lovely helpful and accommodating and the atmosphere is like a little family-run home.
A big thank you to all the staff for the excellent care you provide to my aunt, we are blessed to have such wonderful, caring, genuine people.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear the lovely comments which will be shared with the team, it is very much appreciated and we hope to continue to provide the best service.
My mum has been at Aigburth for many years. I have nothing but praise for the staff and the environment they create. Every time I visit, it's clear she is being very well looked after by compassionate and dedicated staff.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear the lovely comments which will be shared with the team, it is very much appreciated and we hope to continue to provide the best service.
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.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure looking after your mother-in-law and she will be dearly missed by all, she was a lovely lady and we will all have happy memories of her.
The home is one of the best I have visited. May it always be so.
Thank you for your kind words, we hope to continue to provide the best service.
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.
Thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased that you are happy with the care at Aigburth. We do our very best to ensure there is a happy atmosphere – both for the residents and also, their families.
The residents are looked after well. The food looks good, as are the rooms.
Lots of entertainment and trips out.
Thank you for the lovely words. We hope to continue to provide the best service.
Fantastic, caring place where granny is so happy and cared for. Wonderful atmosphere and very welcoming. The activities are really engaging and well-adapted. All the residents are valued highly with staff attention and care exemplary and wow, the gardens are just outstanding!
Thank you for the lovely words. It has been a pleasure looking after your gran for all these years and we hope to continue to provide the best service. We are so pleased she is happy with us.
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.
Thank you for your kind words, we really appreciate them. We are pleased you and your mum were able to enjoy the Art Exhibition in the garden and hope you are able to enjoy the rest of the summer.
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.
Thank you for such lovely comments about our home. It is appreciated and means a lot to all of us. We are so glad that your Mum has settled in well and we hope to continue to provide the best of care. We are so pleased you were able to celebrate your Mum’s birthday in the lounge and had a lovely time.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. It is good to hear that you feel well cared for in our home and it is a great pleasure to look after you.
She had a clean comfortable room with a view over the lovely garden which is cared for by several volunteer gardeners.
Thank you for your kind words. It was an honour to care for your mum while she was living here, she was a lovely lady and we will all have happy memories of her.
Overall a lovely care home to be in, it was a pleasure to know everyone staff and residents.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a real pleasure to provide care for your friend during the short time she was staying here.
My mum needed urgent respite care after having a fall at home following a stroke. The manager was able to assess her quickly, a room was available, and my mum was able to go in that same day. All the staff are kind and helpful, as are the lovely volunteers who organise all sorts of activities. My mum feels safe and supported, and her being at Aigburth has given the family peace of mind. It is not her home, but the staff really try to make it the next best thing. Her only criticism is that the food can be a bit bland!
Thank you for your kind words, it is appreciated and means a lot to all of us. We are so glad that your mum has settled in well and we hope to continue to provide a great service. We have informed our chef/cooks regarding the food.
