I really cannot fault Kirkby House Care Home and the staff there. My mother is happy, comfortable and well cared for. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious with lovely views of the gardens. The staff care for my mother as if she were their own mother, which is comforting, especially in times of lockdown. The staff are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we can maintain contact with our loved ones; I am able to FaceTime my mother when visits are not possible. I am so grateful mum could obtain a place there in September 2021.
My mum is getting well looked after couldn't ask for a better bunch of girls to be looking after my mum. Nothing is too much trouble for them, would recommend Kirby House to anyone.

I always get the feeling that Mum is treated as one of the family by the staff and it makes a huge difference to her last placement.
All in all, very happy and a big thank you to all the staff!

My mum entered Kirkby House a day before the final lockdown in 2020. This was hard as we weren't able to see her or how she was settling in. The staff arranged window visits when it was allowed and Facetime calls so we could see her. The staff helped reassure me that she was well looked after and she has settled in really well. I am more than happy with how she has been treated and the level of care she receives.
Cannot fault the level of care provided for my mother, the staff are lovely, very caring and helpful, keeping us informed of everything.

My dad was so sad when he lost our beautiful mum to vascular dementia and needed 24-hour care. The staff in this care home are honestly fantastic with my dad, he's really settled in now and even has a friend to talk to. If you want your loved one to be cared for and looked after this is definitely the best place. I can't thank the staff enough for keeping Dad safe especially in the last 12 months - all the staff deserve a raise.

The staff treated Mum with dignity and respect all of the time and always made our family welcome when we visited, often after long journies to Liverpool.
Towards the end of Mum's life, the staff treated her like their own; showing love and kindness all of the time.

Kirkby House has cared for my Mum for 3 years. She died on 3rd January 2020.

Kirkby House has cared for my Mum for 3 years. She died on 3rd January 2020. I cannot express how grateful I am and we are as a family for the care, kindness and support Mum received whilst she was there. Also, the care and respect given to Mum and us in the difficult weeks, months up to Mum dying. The staff are second to none and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were kept informed every step of the way and could not have asked for better care for Mum. All staff members were upset at Mum passing and many of them attended the funeral service. That in my view shows their care and compassion. Mum has been happy there and enjoyed the days out and all the activities such as singing, dancing etc. I would not hesitate to recommend Kirkby House to look after loved ones.
Mum was at Kirkby House for three years in total. We didn't want Mum in a care home as we had cared for her in her own home for years previously, but it became impossible as her dementia progressed and safety was a big issue. To add to the dilemma, Mum had been to another home for six weeks...
The first day Mum arrived at Kirkby House, the staff were unbelievable with supporting us as well and throughout Mum's stay that carried on. They all made Mum's and our lives easier to cope with the terrible illness. What we and the extended family and friends witnessed was the care and genuine fondness the staff have for all the residents and whilst life is not always perfect, it was always a good atmosphere. Lots of activities, singers, dances parties and other celebrations throughout the year.
Mum loved her food, and it was all home-made as well as lots of cake which is so important.
Thank you to all the wonderful, caring staff at Kirkby House.

My only issue would be the food - she does not really like it - she is a bacon ribs person! She prefers custard, rice pudding and yoghurts to heavy cakes.
My sister is very happy in this secure and caring environment. The carers are helpful and accommodating in all respects.
