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.
Reply from Shraddha Chaudhuri, Administration Manager at AigburthThank 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.

My mum has settled in well after the first six months. It's as if she has always been there.
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.
Reply from Shraddha Chaudhuri, Administration Manager at AigburthThank 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.
Reply from Shraddha Chaudhuri, Administration Manager at AigburthThank 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.
Reply from Shraddha Chaudhuri, Administration Manager at AigburthThank you for your kind words; we are very glad that Mum is settling in and is happy here.

My mother has been living at Aigburth for three years and is very well looked after and cared for. She is very happy there and we find the carers are always smiling, happy and very helpful and very attentive to Mum's needs. The food at Aigburth is very nice, Mum is fed very well with good nourishing
food. The entertainment is very good with lots of singing and encouragement for all the residents to join in.
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.

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.

Excellent care home with kind and thoughtful staff throughout the whole home.
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.

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.

My Dad has been at Aigburth for almost 2 years. Dad likes living there and attends most of the activities. On the whole, the family are happy with the care provided. On the few occasions, there have been issues we feel that we have been listened to and efforts made to resolve them.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Aigburth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.909 for Aigburth is calculated as follows: ( (451 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 496 Ratings = 4.909
  2. 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 42 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
