Review from Martyn S (Son of Resident) published on 30 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We moved Mum in to Orchard Nursing in early Jan 2026, and have nothing but praise for the home. It's cleaned regularly. Carers always have a smile on their face and always willing to help Mum in anyway she needs. If I was to criticise anything, it would be, it takes a while for the door to be answered, BUT. I'd rather wait at the door whilst carers are dealing with a residents needs than leaving them to answer the door.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Orchard Care Home

Thank you for your 5 * review and positive comments regarding your early experience of the home. We appreciate the feedback. With regards to the front door, yes, the team get to it as fast have they can, in between the care they are providing, so thanks for your patience, should you have to wait. Kind regards

Review from Mary W (Wife of Resident) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff of the Orchard Care Home are skilled, professional, hardworking, and most of all compassionate. My husband's illness took him both to the residential and to the nursing side, and I witnessed their patience and kindness every day I visited. I felt that they were genuinely fond of him, and this was what was most important to me, and I believe to him too. They took trouble to find out about his life before dementia claimed him. Whenever there was the slightest concern about his health they let me know, and had medics and nurses out as soon as they could.

The Victorian building is located in a peaceful corner of Huyton Village, surrounded by trees on all sides.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Orchard Care Home

Thank you very much for review, it is very much appreciated. It is so good to know that the care and attention given to your husband was delivered by a team who were 'genuinely fond of him'. The team will be so touched by your remarks. Kind regards

Review from A G (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our experience of nursing care in this placement was so very poor. Care plans were not followed and entreaties to have these followed were met with unresponsiveness and a determination to have the poor standards of the staff prevail. These standards were perceived to be poor with poor toileting practices, pads not changed for lengthy periods and poor adherence to cleanliness and bathing. The minimum is done at all times. There can be lengthy wait for buzzers to be answered and poor staffing on floors. The lift was broken for a lengthy time entrapping upper residents for days in a severe restriction of liberty. Social activities for residents are minimal. Clothes are lost and seen on other residents and dentures and glasses lost without care. Our confidence in the nursing staff was non-existent and their responsiveness to concerns negative. The culture is so poor and set from the top. Complaints led to a revenge eviction. The experience of this placement devastated this family

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Orchard Care Home

How sorry we are to read your review. Let me reassure you, the issues raised and discussed with you previously have been actioned in the home to ensure that high standards of care are delivered to all residents. All are aware of expectations around resident care and we strive to ensure that these standards are maintained. Kind regards

My husband was in here for short term respite. I couldn't praise the Orchard more. They gave my husband excellent care. I always felt he was safe!
I could not have picked a better home. Manager, nurses care workers gave myself and my husband the most excellent care.

Would highly recommend the orchard!

My nan has been in this home for nearly two years and has said how happy she is there. Ideally she would love to be at home but is happy with the care she recieves. My grandad is always welcome. The manager will help and support the family whenever needed.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Orchard Care Home

What a fabulous review for Orchard! Thank you very much for your 5* review and your kind comments about the team. We know that more or less everyone would rather be in their own home but, our teams do their level best to make sure it is a very welcoming and caring second choice. Kind regards.

Overall Experience

Dad was admitted into respite in October 2024 and was welcomed with open arms. Staff are friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I can tell staff who deal with Dad care about the residents and their needs. The care home is clean and always smells fresh. We have as a family decided this will be a permanent move for Dad and the manager Ann has made this difficult decision easier for myself and my sister.

Reply from Davey Taverner, Digital Marketing Manager at Orchard Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review Orchard so highly. We know making the decision for a loved one to be placed in full-time care is daunting and we are thrilled we could help and support yourself and your family with this transition. We are delighted to hear that your dad enjoyed his respite...

Review from S R (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident since December 2022 and has settled very well and always appears happy and content when I visit. Staff are always very polite, and they have a good rapport with Mum. I think my only niggle is that sometimes staff have not ensured she has her denture in when she's assisted with getting up. The laundry staff takes great care of her clothes, always very well cared for.

We are so pleased your mum has settled in well with us at Orchard. Your kind words really do mean a lot to us, and we appreciate your feedback. I will be sure to pass on your words to the team and hope you have a lovely day. Thank you.

The care my mum has received so far has been fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble, staff are so friendly and caring, even on the days when we aren't able to visit and we ring to check how she is doing - they are very helpful.

The care home is lovely and clean and fresh smelling. The staff who are cleaning the home are also so friendly with the residents. It's a home-from-home feel.
