Kirk House, Belfast

A very caring home and I would highly recommend it.

The resident care and feeling of security is excellent. I am very satisfied with staff, and care given to us is excellent.

I have been a resident in here since January 2023. As I had lived in Cherry Valley for about 50 years, I was glad not to leave the area. Kirk House being residential offered me independent living, help when needed given thoughtfully and willingly. Kirk House gives us plenty of company, but privacy as well in our rooms. There are plenty of activities. The food, cleaning and support from staff are excellent, and as there is a meeting for us all taken by management each week where no subject is banned, we can have our say about all aspects of the home. I am so glad I chose to come here.

Kirk House provides excellent care. The home is always warm. The staff do their best for the residents. Food is fresh and tasty. The flatlets themselves could do with an upgrade of kitchenettes and shower rooms. The grounds at times need attention. In the summer the hanging baskets were beautiful. The quality of the cleaning of the rooms varies from time to time. I think this may be staff-related (ie lack of).

The staff go out of their way to be helpful. I feel well looked after.

My wife Rosemary is receiving professional and kind care in the EMI unit of Kirk House.

The set up of the home with a communal lounge in separate corridors provides a family atmosphere and there are plenty of opportunities to join in activities with residents from across the home in the common room or outside garden area, including church services, musical events, craft activities and even garden parties!

Mum moved into Memory Lane November 2024. Her Flatlet is lovely. It has been personalised with furniture photos and ornaments from her home. Mum likes to sit in the Dayroom as she loves company. She enjoys the Chair Exercises, Church Services and getting her nails and hair done every week. The Staff are brilliant. They look after Mum and she is well cared for. Mum feels safe and we have peace of mind knowing she is safe. They also look after us. Cups of tea in Dining room or if Mum has visitors in her Flatlet they bring tea. I would definitely recommend Kirk House.

The care, staff and facilities in Kirk House are excellent. I had confidence that my parents were looked after with dignity and kindness. I was kept informed of their health and well-being at all times. I'll always be very grateful for the care provided by the staff in Kirk House. Many, many thanks.

At age 96, she sadly needs more care than Kirk House can provide. You know that this is such a great residential home when the staff cry when a resident leaves. Kirk House is family. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering residential care.

I have been visiting Kirk House for 14 years and for me, it is a truly wonderful home. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The place is amacuatly clean. It's a home that I would want to live in myself in my twilight years. I simply cannot speak highly enough of this home and every person I have encountered there. I'm also greatly impressed with how the home does so much in terms of activities for the residents and also in collecting for various charities. Many thanks to you all.

My mum has been a resident in Kirk House for nearly two years. In the last few months, she has moved to the memory lane corridor and has settled in very well. She has a lovely room and speaks well of everyone. She loves the food and the common living area where she has company. The staff are very kind and caring and there is a lovely family atmosphere. I know my mum feels safe there and I have great peace knowing that she is being well cared for and I am very grateful that she is in such a good care home.

My mother has been very happy here for a year, it is her home. She loves the staff, her friends and her flatlet. She enjoys the different activities and the community at meal times. I couldn’t recommend Kirk House enough.

I would highly recommend Kirk House to anyone looking for a very comfortable, spotless, well-run nursing home with tremendous staff.

I could not speak highly enough of the care provided by the staff for my mother in the last 4 months. It has been superb. The team have a real caring ethos and the staff are exceptionally considerate, friendly and helpful. They engage with my mother with kindness, patience and humour. As a family we feel very supported and very welcome at every visit. We cannot thank them enough for the wonderful care and support they give to Mum

We would highly recommend Kirk House.

After a difficult couple of years due to Covid and not being able to visit my mother during this time, I think she has come through this time as well as can be expected with the help of the staff’s ability to protect the residents.

I could not speak highly enough of the care provided by the staff for my mother in the last 5 years. It has been superb. The team there have a real caring ethos and regularly go the extra mile for my mum. My mother has been ill on a number of occasions and the team are great at communicating with relatives and taking action proactively when needed. I would thoroughly recommend Kirk House.

My mother has been a resident at Kirk House for several years and has been very happy living there. She regularly comments on how well she is looked after by the staff and says that she would not still be alive (age 101 at time of writing) if she were not living there. They have had tremendous difficulties over the past two years with Covid restrictions but have managed to cope with the stresses of that well. The residents have their own self contained room but also socialise with the other residents at mealtimes and for the various activities that occur daily within the home.

My grandmother has been a resident at Kirk House for 6 months. Every single interaction I have had with staff has been positive, they have treated my gran with compassion, care and respect. The home is clean, structured and has a personal/friendly feel to it. The staff are attentive and have brought issues we would not have noticed to myself and my gran's other care partners attention. My gran was on the waiting list for quite a while, but well worth the wait.
