Thank you for your comments, we have very lovely families too, which makes our jobs so rewarding. Don't forget the family and residents BBQ on the 9th August .
The staff are always friendly, kind and caring and extremely busy. The home is always clean and well equipped. My dad was well cared for always clean and tidy and would always have a drink or food in front of him.

The staff are very polite, friendly, professional, helpful and if I ask any questions, they always answer straight away.
Every time I arrive,I always get asked if I want a drink, so, thank you for that, going out of their busy day to offer me that.
Also, they always have a smile.
I don't know how they do it, but hats of too them
Thank you for such lovely kind words about our home and staff. it's also residents and their families that contribute in making the home feel like one big family here. Look forward to seeing you again soon
My mum has settled in so well to her new home. We can see how much care and kindness she is given by all the staff. There is a calming, relaxing presence. We feel our Mum is being very well supported and taken care of. If we have any questions there is always Staff on hand to respond.

My father is respected and valued as an individual. There is efficient communication between us, the family and the staff. They kept us updated on how my father was settling in. The home is clean and well maintained. The staff are welcoming. Would like to see more engaging activities to keep residents physically and mentally active, as well as accessing the local community. A second food option on the menu.
Thank you so much for taking the time to send in a review. We know how difficult it is to make that decision in the first place. It's important to us that it becomes there home and becomes an extension of yours. Welcome to the Birchwood family.

Whilst I have attended Birchwood at different times of the day, I have always found it to be a clean, vibrant and engaging environment for residents. I have seen first hand the gentle, compassionate nature of all the staff. They are patient and encouraging with my dad and always make time to greet me and offer refreshments. I was hyper wary of placing Dad in residential care and did my homework. I am so glad as is he, that we found Birchwood. 10/10!

My fiercely independent Grandmother had to leave her flat in December 2023. Due to deteriorating health etc. and after a hospital stay it was decided that more care was needed. I did not expect to end up with such a caring home. The staff are friendly and helpful, always an offer of a drink and sometimes a slice of cake. The atmosphere at Birchwood is pleasant and conducive to calm. The place is clean and tidy and residents are well looked after with good activities to occupy them. Nan enjoyed the summer BBQ. Nan had been placed on End of Life Care. She was quite poorly and had not been eating well, but put on weight within her first month at Birchwood. The food on offer is amazing and the staff always cater to the resident and make sure that they can eat what they like. Nan seemed healthier and regained her colour and voice. Nan passed away peacefully at 97. I cannot fault the staff, everything was dealt with care and respect. I only wish I had more space to praise Birchwood Grove.
Thank you so much for your kind words. You made her room so special for her which all the staff loved to see what other creations were added to her room on your visits. You are more than welcome to visit us anytime, and your on the list for the next BBQ.
The home is always clean and tidy.

The care and dedication of the team are clearly visible and overwhelming to the difference in my mother's mental health and well-being.
We're so very grateful to the team, as a family having to make the life-changing decision of moving to full-time residential care, we couldn't have received better support and care.
Thank you for your continued kindness and care.

With 3 days' notice of his move from hospital, they welcomed my same-day request to visit before his move. It may not be the most modern building but it felt welcoming, warm and not intimidating.
Dad settled very quickly and although he has now been diagnosed with dementia, he is comfortable, well cared for and happy to be there.
Staff have a smile on their face and understand his needs.
I would be happy to recommend Birchwood Grove.

This was my first visit. I had already been impressed by the friendliness of the staff when I phoned and had even been able to speak to my cousin on one occasion. It was great to now see her so contact, albeit bewildered by events. There was plenty of staff who were all watchful and attentive to residents. One made us a cup of tea. There was a warm family feel although most residents seemed poorly. All looked clean and well cared for.
Lovely home, living area nice, beautiful garden and garden room. The staff are very loving and friendly. The standard of care is excellent. Dad enjoys the meals and is very happy. I would definitely recommend.
