My experience has been good. I have been happy staying here but my stay is short term. Staff are very nice which improved the stay. And I have felt safe.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know what you think of Orchard care Home. We appreciate your feedback and will pass this on to the team. We are glad to hear you have enjoyed your stay with us. Have a lovely day. Thanks again
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.
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
The Victorian building is located in a peaceful corner of Huyton Village, surrounded by trees on all sides.
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
Staff are great and really care
Thank you very much for tking the time and trouble to review The Orchard Care Home, it is appreciated. Kind regards
staff were extremely friendly.
Home looked really clean. All staff were very helpful.
Home on the outside has stunning grounds and lovely garden really could not praise staff enough very friendly and relaxed environment.
Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback and ratings for The Orchard. We are sure that your feedback will do much to reassure those searching for care for a loved one. Kind regards
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
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
I just want to thank everyone that looked after are mum,we lost her on Sunday she was so precious to us.the care she got from day staff to night staff was second to none. She smiled at all of you we came away knowing are mum was safe we will never forget you.
First of all let me say how sorry we are to hear of the loss of your Mum. We send our condolences at this very sad time to you and all who loved her. Thank you for taking the trouble to give your feedback about the team, they will very much appreciate your kindness. Kind regards
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!
Thank you very much for your 5star review and your very kind comments, they are very much appreciated. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Kind regards
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.
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.
The home is always clean and fresh-smelling. All the staff are pleasant and polite and extremely helpful.
Thank you very much for both your kind comments and star ratings. We appreciate your comments regarding the staff team, who work so hard to ensure that everyone is safe, well and happy. Kind regards
It's been a tough few months, but the fantastic help from all the staff including chefs, cleaners, carers, nurses, managers, admin, and hairdresser Dad has managed to move to sheltered accommodation today, thanks to all the staff for getting him better.
He has 24/7 care and has made friends forever.
Thank you to everyone.
Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to review Orchard Care Home. We will ensure that your thanks are passed to the whole team and we wis your dad well in his new home. Kind regards
Very happy my dad is well looked after.

I visit my bedbound auntie, aged 92 years old. The care home is very nice all the staff are caring and polite and give my auntie great care. She is always well-fed and clean and all her medical care taken care of. The home is a safe environment. 24-hour nurse. The home has lovely surroundings i.e. garden benches to sit outside.
Thank you for leaving us such a stellar review of Orchard Care Home. We are thrilled that you are content with the high level of care and support we provide. We are delighted to hear your Auntie is settled in well with us, is comfortable and has all she needs. We appreciate the honest feedback, have a lovely day.
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.
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...
Thanks for helping Mum.
Thank you for taking the time to review The Orchard. We appreciate your feedback and your warm words of recognition and are delighted that are happy with our high level of care for your mum. Have a lovely day, thank you.
Excellent care while Mum was in respite care. Staff were very professional and caring. Mum has been settled and extremely well cared for in a safe and secure environment with all her needs met. Thank you so much to every member of staff.
Thank you for taking the time to review Orchard so highly. We are thrilled your mum has settled in well with us and you are content with the care we provide. The team will appreciate your kind words of recognition. Have a lovely day.
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.
rooms are kept clean and tidy.
