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...
Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt and thoughtful review. It means a great deal to hear from someone who has spent so much time with us over the years, and your words truly reflect the depth of your experience.Thank you again for your trust, your time, and your generous words. It is a privilege to support your wife and to be part of both your lives.

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.

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.
