We are deeply touched by your message. Our team always strives to provide the best care possible and your appreciation and kind recognition of our staff means so much. Thank you for your trust in letting us look after your loved one.
Everyone is so cheerful & polite. The care they show is outstanding & understanding. I believe that my husband could not be in a better place for his care.

Thank you for your kind words and recognising the amazing team at Birchy Hill.
My wife has been a resident at Birchy Hill care home for over two years now. During that time it's become her home from home. It's become my second home too, because I have spent so much of my time with her there. Mine is not a superficial review, but comes from several years of experiencing life...
From the moment that we first visited Birchy Hill almost 4 years ago to the present, I have seen Birchy Hill as a happy and warm place. The staff are always kind, friendly and welcoming. Above all, the quality of care that they have given my wife has been truly exceptional. Day in day out they have attended to all her needs and given her the best possible life. I'd just like to express my thanks to all the staff for their professional skill, expertise and dedication combined with human kindness and homeliness.
We are delighted that Birchy Hill has become a home from home for both you...

My husband ( with Az & other health issues) moved into Birchy in May last year as he had become very agitated and stressed at home. A very distressing time for me and the family. BUT All the staff have been wonderful trying all sorts of strategies to help him successfully navigate the move and this phase of his illness. Caring not only for him but me also. They organised a wonderful birthday party for him and the family. My husband has settled in, is now calm and knows all the staff from the Manager to the Gardener and enjoys chatting and teasing them all. I believe Birchy is possibly the only care home that could have achieved this Now I can enjoy quality time with him instead of managing his health issues and agitation.
It's lovely that you can now...
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It's clear how difficult and emotional the journey has been for you and your family, and it's wonderful to hear how thoughtfully the team at Birchy supported both your husband and you through such a challenging transition.It's lovely that you can now focus on simply being with him again, rather than constantly managing the stress of his health needs. Your words are a powerful reminder of how much the right environment and the right people can transform a difficult situation into something gentler and more hopeful

From the day my husband was admitted to Birchy Hill Care Home at the beginning of April I was very impressed with everything I witnessed, from initial greeting to introduction to various staff members. During my husbands stay nothing has been too much trouble, all staff very polite & accommodating. Everything is clearly explained, additional service ie hairdressing & podiatry excellent. Accommodation is well-maintained & appropriate to user needs.
Thank you for your kind words of recommendation, I will make sure the team are thanked. Birchy Hill is a very individual care home with a great sense of community and a homely feel.
The staff at Birchy Hill are so lovely with the residents. They do not hesitate to reassure them when they are anxious and are always so friendly and kind. The residents always seem happy when they are around and they arrange lots of activities for them.

Our mother arrived at Birchy Hill 2 years ago, from then until her passing her last month she received exemplary care from the management and carers. We really have no complaints. The facilities are quiet, clean, spacious and well laid out including a lovely garden when it's warm enough to go outside. The care home is a 15 minute walk from the station if you're unable to drive. The care our mother received was attentive and kind. At her previous care home eating was an issue (time and food wise), however at Birchy our mother soon gained weight due to the nutritious meals and the ability of the kitchen to blend every course/meal to the right consistency so our mother could eat. Our mother passed away at Birchy Hill in February 25 and up until the end of the life we were satisfied the best was being done for her.
Thank you for taking the time to review our lovely care home and your kind words.

My wife came to Birchy Hill after an operation and aftercare. She has been treated with kindness and dignity by all of the helpful and caring staff. The nurses oversee her medical requirements and the food choices are very good. There is an excellent range of activities each day, which the residents look forward to and the staff sometimes join in, run by an enthusiastic events manager. The gardens are well maintained and much enjoyed when the weather allows. Birchy has its own coach which is used to take residents on outings, to keep in touch with the wider world. Again much enjoyed. The library has a wide range of books etc. which I have used to entertain my wife and residents use frequently. It's always a pleasure to visit and there are lots of options for us to choose to do. You should visit, you might be surprised.
Thank you for taking the time to give us such a comprehensive review. We always strive to provide all our residents with a warm and caring home and its wonderful to hear your thoughts, many thanks.
My 66-year-old husband has early-onset Alzheimer's and needed to go into residential care as I was struggling to meet his needs at home. All the lovely staff contributed to making this huge and upsetting decision run as smoothly as possible. The efficient handymen ensured my husband's room was...
All the hard-working staff are friendly, welcoming friends and family alike. The staff closely involved in my husband's care show a genuine interest in him as a person and ask us about his likes and dislikes to ensure they make him as happy as possible. Any issues are quickly resolved, e.g. a broken lamp was promptly replaced.
The activities team excelled themselves leading up to Christmas, creating a fun-filled atmosphere. (The busy staff even found time to join in.)
The admin lady is a 'font of all knowledge' and has been quietly wonderful and an essential part in helping our family cope with this huge change in our lives.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review and for recognising the wider team at our wonderful care home, I will pass your review onto the team.

The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming with so many occasions celebrated that there is always something to get involved with or learn from.
I trust Birchy Hill with my loved one implicitly and find peace in the fact that I am included in their care plan and regularly updated if I am unable to visit for a couple of days.
My whole family are forever grateful that we found Birchy Hill and are confident to recommend their outstanding care and facilities to anyone who enquires.
Wow, what a lovely recommendation, thank you, I will make sure this is shared with all the team.
The care and nursing staff are without exception...
The care and nursing staff are without exception wonderful, so kind, patient and understanding, taking time to know each resident and their individual needs, nothing is ever too much trouble. They also readily offer support and understanding to relatives.
Birchy has a wonderful and extremely varied programe of entertainment organised by a dedicated team of ladies full of enthusiasm, who also interact and know all residents.
The meals are home-cooked and well-balanced all overseen by the head chef.
Everyone contributes to the happy and friendly atmosphere, from the manager (who visits each resident daily) to the cleaning team, the maintenance and groundsmen, all greeting the residents and visitors whilst keeping everything immaculate.
Thank you all so much.
Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review of Birchy Hill, it is indeed a very special care home. I will pass your kind words on to the team.
From the moment my mother went into your home she has had excellent care. Everyone is so kind and friendly. It's a big happy family that I feel part of. My mum has been with you since 2019 and all has been so good.

The gentleness, patience, good humour and kindness of staff have been evident over a course of fourteen years of looking after our mother.
At all times, intimate care has been undertaken with great respect and dignity for our mother on a daily basis - a really almost angelic service.
The kitchen staff have provided good, wholesome food and when needed, have taken the time and trouble to puree food or provide alternatives if needed.
Amazing all round.
Thank you for taking the time to give us such a wonderful review, all our staff take pride in caring for our residents to the best of their ability and will be glad to hear you're happy with our amazing care.
Birchy Hill Care Home have looked after my husband for one year. I am very happy with the care provided. I find the staff caring and sensitive to his needs. They are also very positive and caring towards myself and my family. The atmosphere is stimulating and the activities are varied.

We cannot sing the manager and his entire team's praises enough for the excellent care they provide to our mother! Every aspect of her physical care and well being is delivered with genuine sincerity and consistency. Their communication to us is excellent and always with Granny's best interest....
The environment is outstanding - clean, warm and welcoming. We visit Granny often and are always made to feel welcome by the team. The team members in her community are consistent which is so important - they all know Granny and her needs and they all know us!
Granny has had a tough couple of years settling in other care homes for various reasons and it is with our gratitude to the manager and his team at Birchy Hill for the genuine care and support they give to us all.
Birchy Hill Care Home is the example that every nursing and care home provider should strive to be like.
Thank you for all you do!
