Such selflessness sets an inspiring example but will pass unnoticed unless we acknowledge it. So a big thank you to you all.
Thank you for your support and appreciation. The staff try their best, and we all love our residents as if they are our own families. It’s the least we can do when you are unable to visit at these strange times, as well as knowing that your loved ones are well looked after and cared for. Thank you for your daily emails for Mum; she loves reading them.
Mum is happy and well cared for at Aigburth where the staff are lovely and there is a family atmosphere. I always feel welcome when I visit. Even during the Covid 19 crisis, they were able to help Mum celebrate her birthday and send super videos and photos to her family. Of all the activities, Mum particularly loves the sing songs.
Thank you for your kind words. We know it is difficult during this time when families cannot come and visit their loved ones; but Mum is in safe, capable and loving hands and we will do everything we can to keep you all updated throughout. We look forward to seeing you again.
The en-suite room is excellent, with lovely views over the garden. The staff and volunteers do an outstanding job, always cheerful and helpful. They don't just carry out their normal duties, but happy to volunteer to give extra help. Trips and activities are non stop. Lots for her to do. Many thanks. Well done.
Thank you for your show of appreciation for all of us at Aigburth. It’s been a pleasure with mum here, and she does enjoy helping around with the activities. We hope to carry on exactly as we are over the years to come.
Both of my parents have been at Aigburth for 18 months now. It is a super purpose-built place with excellent facilities. The staff are very helpful and friendly and do a marvellous job of attending to all of my patents needs, often above and beyond the call of duty. I honestly believe that Mum and Dad could not be in a better place. As a family, we know that they are well looked after and are safe. The daily entertainment programme and beautiful gardens are the icing on the cake. I would not hesitate in recommending this facility.
Thank you for your words of support and appreciation. The 18-months have flown by since mum and dad have been with us. It is an absolute pleasure having them with us, and we will continue to do our very best for them.
My Mum moved into Aigburth six months ago and very quickly became much happier than she was living alone in her own home. She had not been looking forward to going into a care home and it has taken a bit of getting used to, but she is a lot less worried about things than she used to be. The staff are kind and friendly and the atmosphere is calm and happy.
Thank you for your kind words; we are very glad that Mum is settling in and is happy here.
I have been very impressed by the kindness and loving care shown to residents and relatives during this crisis point. The staff have made a real effort to keep us up to date with what is happening and finding ways we can maintain some contact with our relatives.
Thank you for your kind words of support and appreciation towards our staff. We all appreciate it a lot and hope to carry on for years to come.
Lovely well-led home. Residents are extremely well looked after by a team of very caring carers, who are truly dedicated.
Thank you for your support and kind words throughout. It is a pleasure to be able to take care of your mum.
Mum is well-liked and loved at Aigburth and I’m so happy that Mum is living there.
My partner took up residence at Aigburth at the beginning of November 2019. In the short time that she has been there, I can honestly say that I can not fault the care that she is receiving in this excellent care home. All of the staff that I have encountered are extremely sensitive to her needs and have done everything they can to help her to adjust to her new circumstances.
Mum has settled very well into life at Aigburth and generally has interesting and encouraging comments to make about her days spent in care.
Keep up the challenging work......you all do a great job.
Thank you
My husband has been in this care home for 2 months and seems very happy and I have been happy with the care.
Excellent links with other organisations to provide assistance in the gardens which are just lovely.
The home looks to reinvest in new areas or trips out for the residents.
Since my mum moved to Aigburth in June she has gone from strength to strength. The carers are so lovely and she enjoys being part of the activities. She is happy and this, in turn, makes it much easier for us knowing she is so settled. The accommodation and food are first class.
I am very happy with the care my father receives at Aigburth. He has been a resident for over 18 months. We were very worried about how he would settle as his attitude to care homes was always very negative. However, he has settled in and the carers know him well. He is treated with dignity and with an understanding of his dementia. It is easy to visit and the staff are very accommodating. He enjoys the garden as it's lovely as well as a peaceful place to sit and have a walk-in.
The majority of staff are good, but a few stand out for going the extra mile! One of those is the person who’s musical talents and patience are greatly appreciated. There is another lady, she is lovely with all the residents and I know that when her shift is on, Dad is always well presented.
The gardens are lovely with a good selection of flowers, it is a shame that residents are not encouraged and enabled to use them more, especially during good weather.
I know from experience how care homes vary and I have recommended Aigburth to several people.
Lovely, bright, clean and comfortable home. The standard of care is excellent, staff are kind, considerate and caring to all needs. The atmosphere is happy and cheerful. The staff go to great lengths to ensure everyone is happy and are always there to talk to if you are down or worried about anything. Meals are varied and have a good choice of menu each day. Overall a really nice home to stay in when you cannot cope at home any more.
Dad has settled very well, he is enjoying the company and the activities. We as a family are happy that we have found somewhere we know where he will be well looked after and be safe.
My sister has been at Aigburth for five years and I have been very satisfied with the care she has received and the staff are understanding and patient - I could not ask for more. I am always contacted if there is a query which is very comforting.
Thank you for taking the time to submit this review for our Home; we are pleased to hear how happy you are with the care that we provide to your sister. All feedback is most welcome and your kind words will be shared with the staff.
My grandmother has been a resident at Aigburth for approaching seven years. As I imagine it is for many, it was a traumatic experience for her to leave her home and move into residential care, but I often reflect on how lucky we were to have found Aigburth. The team have worked so hard to make her comfortable, happy, entertained and stimulated - she never has a bad word to say about any of them. Although I live some distance away, I'm always kept appropriately informed of any wellbeing issues or material requirements she may have. Both my grandmother and I entirely trust the judgement of the team, who know her very well - they take fantastic care of her and at 99 years old she is living as happy and dignified a life as she possibly could be. A very special place.
Thank you for completing a review for our home, your kind words are greatly appreciated. We are very glad to hear that you are happy with the care being provided to your grandmother. All feedback is most welcome and your comments will be shared with the staff team.
My Mum has been a resident at Aigburth for over 4 years. She is very happy, treated with dignity and well cared for. The home goes out of its way to make residents feel “at home” and residents are encouraged, on many levels, to be pro-active in their care, with regular residents meetings, gardening clubs and outings. The activities provided are excellent and there is always lots of fun and laughter going on. I am very happy with the care at Aigburth.
