My dad was a resident in Birkenhead Court for 14 months and was well cared for during his stay . Staff are attentive and do lots of activities with the residents which helps with mental stimulation. The home is bright and welcoming and there is access to the gardens during the summer months. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for residential care for their loved ones.

Our 94 yr old Mother has been a resident for a little over two months and in that period she has come on in leaps and bounds after a very traumatic experience in another non Anchor facility. The Manager and her team are professional, happy, and certainly know their "onions". We as a family have been welcomed into the Birkenhead Court home by everyone we've met. Mum is settled more than we could have imagined and in a very short time period. I would recommend Birkenhead to anyone looking for a place for their loved one without any hesitation.
Following a stroke and progressive journey into dementia, Mum has been in the care of three separate homes over the past twelve months. Each were good in their own way but her changing circumstances meant we had to find somewhere more able to meet her needs. We learnt of Birkenhead Court at just...
The manager, Helen, empowers her staff to understand fully what their residents need and tailor the care to suit each individual personality. The team provide an excellent service - the carers, the facilities staff and the admin team all work seamlessly and genuinely seem to enjoy whatever they do.
Mum has a lovely bedroom and enjoys spending time in the lounge and the dining room where the excellent food is the highlight of her day. It is a joy to be able to spend quality time with Mum and the team, who feel very much like part of the family.

However, the people and the care that she receives at Birkenhead Court are amazing. The staff are so good with her, and I can tell that she feels very content.
It means the world to me knowing that she is being looked after so well.

My husband has been in Birkenhead Court for 17 months. He is quite happy here he quite often wants to come home but he is always happy to please the staff and he will say he is going to stay. He really likes his room. I think he spends a lot of time in the office but the staff don't seem to mind....

He really likes his room. I think he spends a lot of time in the office but the staff don't seem to mind. So overall I think he is happy here.
But putting him in Birkenhead Court has made things so much easier. Why - it's the staff. They really do care about people and my dad.

Our requests are always...
Our requests are always handled respectfully. We can visit anytime, and my Grandma always looks clean and presentable.
The home itself is spotless, smells clean, and the rooms are always immaculate and tidy. The beds are changed very frequently, and all of my Grandma's laundry is clean and fresh.
The management is approachable and knowledgeable, nothing is too much trouble, and we have always been able to contact them to check on my Grandma.
The biggest challenge is seeing your loved one decline, but it's slightly easier knowing she is in safe hands in a loving care home like Birkenhead Court.
Thank you all for your kindness and support to me and mum...
Thank you all for your kindness and support to me and mum during a difficult time.
My mum was in Birkenhead Court for approx 8 months and sadly left due to changing health care needs... ALL of the staff were tremendous and I would happily recommend it as a place for your loved one. Very clean and very safe and very caring environment.

The home offers a fantastic range of activities that keep residents engaged and stimulated. There are daily events, craft sessions, and exercise activities, along with visits from singers and entertainers. Theme days bring fun and variety, and organised day trips provide residents with opportunities to get out and enjoy new experiences. My mother especially loves the themed afternoons and the entertainers, which she always joins in with a song or a little dance.
The environment is welcoming, safe, and homely, and communication with families is excellent. I have complete confidence that Mum is in the best possible hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend Birkenhead Court to anyone seeking exceptional care for their loved ones.
After looking at a lot if care homes, we chose Birkenhead Court for our Mum. We never regretted that choice. The home is well maintained and clean with lovely rooms. The food is great and there are lots of activities for the residents, including outings, singers and dancing. It has a cinema, sweet...
All this means nothing without the superb care workers who cared for our mum for the last 10 years of her life. They are a credit to the home and their vocation, we can't praise them highly enough. Mum was treated like one of an extended family and really enjoyed her life there.
If you are looking for a care home for your loved one, look no further than Birkenhead Court.

We were recommended to look at Birkenhead Court by a good friend when Mum needed respite from dementia we were welcomed in and within a week Mum moved in. They sorted her medicines out and the change is remarkable, she is clan, tidy, calm. Making friends - enjoy the lovely food on offer. She has moved in permanently now and my dad has joined her after having seizures - a stroke and they are settling in well together. The staff have been brilliant looking after them, so kind & caring and nothing is too much trouble. Not only have they taken care of Mum & Dad but when we as a family were at a really low point they have helped to make life easier.

Our Mum stayed for 5 months before having to move to closer to family.
The manager and her team and in particular three members of staff went above and beyond to ensure our Mum was cared for and supported throughout her stay. Her journey with Alzheimer's has not been easy so as a family we were very touched with everyone's kindness, patience and hard work when taking care of our Mum.
When dealing with a move to an Anchor home closer to family the team could not have done more to help us and keep Mum feeling happy and positive. Particular thanks to the manager for ensuring everything was arranged for the move and for always making time to talk through any questions we had, her efficiency and pro-active approach to all communications regarding our Mums care was greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and kindest regards to the team!

When looking for a care home for mum we looked at a few, but by far Birkenhead Court stood out, for its set up, friendly and welcoming staff, extra activities and the family feel to the place. Mum is now been in for the past month and we haven't been disappointed in fact it is better, staff are absolutely brilliant. Place is well run with the residents at the heart.
The care is outstandingly good. All the staff are so caring and nothing is too much trouble any problems are dealt with immediately.

I was so happy I chose Birkenhead Court for my mum, she has felt at home since she moved in Febuary. The staff are all lovely and nothing is to much trouble, I am also notified of any changes or doctor referals etc. straight away. As a family we always feel welcome at any time we visit, and not in the way. It has made such a difference to Mums well being.

My wife started suffering from dementia about 5 years ago and I had carers coming in 3 times a day but I could no longer cope so, reluctantly, the family took the decision to put her in Birkenhead Court last April (2024). You were recommended by a home care provider and the family GP. I am really delighted with the home where she is treated with the utmost respect and has settled in well. I can now sleep at night knowing she is in good hands. I know it's experience but worth it for my peace of mind. Thank you so much.
