Mum's own words about Mersey Parks Care Home on Sefton Unit. She told my sister that she was very happy at Mersey Parks, that she was very well looked after, the food was good, and that the staff are kind. My sister said Mum didn't need to be assisted to say this. As a family, we feel the care on Sefton
Unit is exceptional.

Review from William M (Son of Resident) published on 30 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum had been in a different residential care home before an extended admission to hospital. On her discharge she required nursing care.
I visited many care homes to find one that was suitable and that we felt as a family could provide the care that mum deserved and that we felt reassured by. Some fell
far below the standard that I would wish for anyone needing residential care let alone nursing care.
We eventually found Mersey Parks and I cannot speak highly enough of the care that she received in the very short time she was there. We were there every day and all the staff were passionate, caring helpful and supportive. A credit to the caring profession.
Mum unfortunately passed away on Christmas day 2024 and the communication between the nursing staff and the family allowed us to be with her when she passed away. The dignity and compassion that the caring and nursing staff showed to both us and mum on that day was so kind and comforting and will never be forgotten. Thank You

My mum moved into Springfield, Liverpool in January 2025. The care she has received has been outstanding. She was reviewed immediately for medication charges and monitored.
The carers are so kind and thoughtful, making sure my mother is taken into the lounge area each day to socialise. Her mental health
has improved and she has settled in well. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work and dedication.

My mum passed away recently at Mersey parks nursing home. during her time there she was well looked after and her end of life was so dignified professional and with loving care for both her and the family that attended, both the staff and her surviving family members who looked after her, all the staff
from the cleaners to the management have earned our upmost respect and gratitude.
And I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all again from the bottom of our hearts.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has only been here a fortnight and although health-wise I know he won't get any better, he seems more alert since being here and able to speak more than he could in hospital. He is also eating a little bit and drinking with assistance, which he wasn't doing previously. I'm normally able to find
fault in everything, I do love a good moan but I honestly can't fault this place so far. Every member of staff I have spoken to has been lovely and the whole place feels like a big family. Despite my dad's needs, everyone still speaks to him with so much respect and they always make sure he's ok. I believe they genuinely do care about the residents, rather than it just being a job and I would happily recommend this place to anyone. I doubt I'll ever be able to thank the staff enough for their compassion and patience. When I visit my dad, I leave knowing he's not alone and he is safe, comfortable and well looked after. As a daughter, I couldn't ask for more than that.

Too many managerial swaps and they take a lot of holidays.
Poor hygiene care for residents. Staff not professional in bedside manners.
No contact with residents unless medication, food or change. Animals, not every patient likes animals and they run free.
No menu for patients, same thing, repetitive.
If
complain hostile staff.
End-of-life was told to clear the room and mother was still lying there. Unforgivable.
Unfortunate experience for the resident and family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so used to calling in for an hour or 2 every other day.
My visits are always lovely and the residents are happy.
Yesterday I had to be at home early. I stayed all morning and had to leave my findings.
If this is a standard of care I could look forward to when required I truly hope this home
is still open.
A lovely easy-going place where the staff genuinely care for the residents.
If a resident asks for help, they are there right away. The staff never stopped but was always observant watching their residents.
Entering into conversation with whoever wanted to talk.
None of this "be back in a moment" is a moment to these residents and many of them will have forgotten their thread of thought.
I and my family are truly happy with the care.
I just felt I had to comment here today and give the care people receive a 10 out of 10. If I could give a 15 out of ten I would.
Every five-star I have given is truthful and honest
Thank you staff at Springfield House. You really put my mind at ease.

From the time my sister entered the home, she received first-class care and attention from all of the staff.
My sister has been a resident for several years and has always been made to feel comfortable.
My family have also been made welcome and valued during our visits.
We are all very grateful

One carer in particular was very good at assisting Mum when Mum had a hospital appointment to attend (which I also attended).
She looked after Mum's mobility issues and stayed attentive to her during waiting times and when called to see the doctor.
It was a good job she was there as a lot of advice
was given by the doctor concerning how to deal with Mum's ear problems.
The carer listened attentively as instructions on how to deal with Mum's ear issues over the next month were given.

My friend recently moved into this care home, and although I was apprehensive as I've never had dealings with a care home before, I have to say that the staff have all made my friend and myself feel very welcome. They really care about the residents and I have no complaints about the quality of the
food or the activities on offer on a daily basis.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been living in Mersey Parks for just over 2 years. She settled in very easily which we did not expect as her dementia was quite bad early on and she has always suffered with anxiety.
ALL of the staff are incredible, very caring and it is a huge comfort for us to know that mum is so well
looked after, with such care, respect and dignity, she is clearly very happy.
Mum has not really participated in the activities but it was lovely for us to be shown a video of mum dancing - the activity staff had gained her trust and encouraged her to take part in their great music afternoons.
Her room is kept spotless, as is the rest of the home. It's lovely and bright and we have filled it with things, photos she loves.
We have no problems in asking any staff members anything to do with mums care, how she is on a daily basis, and the GP is always available if we have any concerns.
Our family feels very lucky to have found Mersey Parks - the staff are its biggest asset.

My mum has been a resident of Merseyparks for just over 18 months. She is very well cared for, and the staff are sensitive to her needs and accommodate her as much as they can. She loves a cup of tea, and the staff ensure she always has one. There are lots of activities on offer, my mum especially loves
music and dancing and is first in line to listen to the singer.
I would recommend Merseyparks if you are looking for a care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic care home. Great staff. My mother and father have been there, Mum for end-of-life care and my dad for residential care with his medical needs.
Staff are great, if I ever needed a care home I would stay there myself, I can't fault it at all as all of us are happy that Mum and Dad stayed there
and they had great care.
If you are a family member who ever needs a care home, I can't fault the care home for nursing needs and care needs.
Many thanks to Mersey Parks Care Home in Liverpool for looking after Dad and giving end-of-life care for Mum.

Mersey Parks Care Home in my experience as a visitor is a nice friendly care home for the residents. I visit a dementia unit, the staff are caring and work well with the residents, often under trying conditions because of the nature of dementia. The activities are excellent and well put together. We
now have a new singer who comes in and performs one day a week and is an excellent entertainer and singer, who the residents really like. She has replaced someone who sadly passed away in January, he was an excellent singer and entertainer who was loved by the residents of Mersey Parks.

Since January 2024 my dad has been at Mersey Parks, the level of care is outstanding. My dad gets spoilt rotten by the staff. Their interaction with my dad is amazing. If my dad is sick there is a doctor here. He has settled in so much, the staff are fabulous and I wouldn't want my Dad anywhere else.

My mum was placed in Mersey Parks on 17th November for end-of-life care. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They treated Mum with care and dignity. On the day Mum passed, the carer on shift was amazing at explaining everything she was doing. Phone doctors and funeral directors. She went above
and beyond. We would like to thank her and all the staff.

My mum came into Mersey Parks Care Home after being in hospital and after being a resident at another care home (but that’s another story). Mersey Parks is a caring, thoughtful, friendly, professional, clean and a wonderful friendly atmosphere of a care home. The staff really do care about the residents,
and actually nurse them, and get treatment/doctor in when needed. The food looked and smelt delicious, and we enjoyed hearing the singers in the lounge (even if my mum couldn’t manage to move in there to see them). My mum sadly passed away, and the staff were wonderful. I wish my mum had gone to Mersey Parks in the first place. We will miss going in there, especially seeing little Bean. All the staff in Springfield unit, thank you all for making the last month of my mums life happier. You all deserve a massive pay rise!

It was such a heartbreaking decision having to find full-time care for my mum. She has only been a resident in Sefton House for three months. The staff have made her transition so easy, she has settled so quickly. The staff are absolutely fantastic. The care and attention my mum receives is wonderful,
I couldn't ask for more. Mum has very limited speech but will communicate through gestures and to watch Mum's interaction with the staff is heartwarming, I consider the staff as our extended family.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.294)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.294) out of 10 for Mersey Parks Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.694 for Mersey Parks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 219 Ratings = 4.694
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mersey Parks Care Home is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 150 registered maximum number of service users is 30. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 30 = 0.6
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
