Review from Hannah F (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot praise the care my Dad receives at Birkdale Park highly enough. All the staff are so kind and caring. When ever I visit they can't do enough for me and I am always welcomed like a member of the family. The hygiene and cleanliness standards cannot be faulted. My Dad is unable to do anthing for himself now and he is aways clean, tidy and comfortable and treated with incredible dignity when I see him. The staff are so kind when they speak to him and always have a smile on their faces and a friendly word.
I do not live locally and having my Dad resident in a Nursing Home where the care is outstanding is a huge weight off my mind as I know they look after him as if he was their own family.

A huge thank you to Jonathan and the whole of the Team at Birkdale Park.

Review from Katie C (Great-Niece of Resident) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot heap enough praise for the whole team regarding the loving care which has been and continues to be given to my great-Auntie. I am a fortnightly visitor to the home and am always met at reception with a welcome smile and " how are you"?

My Auntie has many eccentricities and the home always does its best to accommodate her. My family is kept updated as to her care needs. I don't know any other home where the owner/manager can be found encouraging the residents to join in in a sing-a-long while Jonathan plays the ukulele. Furthermore, it is simply a unique experience for the residents to be taken out on the homes rickshaw whenever the weather permits. My Auntie isn't just a resident, the whole team make her feel like she is part of the Birkdale Park family and therefore Birkdale Park truly has become her home.

Reply from Jonathan Cunningham, Registered Manager at Birkdale Park Nursing Home
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful review. Reading it brought real warmth to our whole team here at Birkdale Park.

Review from S G (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We asked to put mum in at very short notice, due to her sudden decline in health and her added anxiety of being home alone at night. I approached BP, as I knew it had a good reputation. They were fantastic and took her in straight away. Johnathon and all the staff were fantastic. She has made a good recovery with all their care and attention, so good that she really perked up, so that now she has left BP Nursing Home and moved to a rest home.

I can't recommend them enough.

Reply from Jonathan Cunningham, Registered Manager at Birkdale Park Nursing Home
Thank you so much for sharing this - what a journey it's been, and what wonderful news that your mum has recovered so well.

We can only imagine how worrying that time must have been for you, with mum's health declining so suddenly and her feeling anxious being alone at night. We're so glad you...

The care & attention that all the staff gave my mum was outstanding! She was made to feel very welcome from the day she arrived which helped her to settle in quickly. They always made time for her when she needed, they never rushed her or made her feel like she was taking up people's time. It gave me great comfort & reassurance knowing she was being very well cared for in a kindhearted environment.

I have visited Birkdale Care Home many times seeing my friend, who is a resident here.
The reception for visitors is friendly and helpful. My friend is wonderfully looked after. She is always nice and clean so is her room.
That probably goes without saying.
What is more important the warm family atmosphere pervading the home.

A place of love and peace.

My wife has spent the last 9 months of her life in Birkdale Park Nursing Home. During this period she was in a happy place and I console myself knowing she had the best care possible. I thank all the staff for their care and support which was second to non.

If nursing homes could be awarded 6 stars, then Birkdale Park would certainly be one of them.

Review from Alison W (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum entered her new home here in Birkdale Park on October 23rd. It was her decision and she embraced everything you need to offer. Mum was becoming more isolated at home, yes she saw family but friendships were few. Very soon she became an active member of the 'Blue Slipper Gang' meeting in the lounge to enjoy craft, make shortbread and sing and dance with the very full programme of events. Though her stay was relatively short, her life ended with a wonderful quality of care she would never experience anywhere else. I can't thank you enough.

Reply from Jonathan Cunningham, Registered Manager at Birkdale Park Nursing Home

Thank you for sharing such kind words. We're grateful your mum chose to make Birkdale Park her home, and it was a privilege to support her. We're so pleased she found friendship, purpose, and joy in our activities and community. Although her time with us was short, we are honoured to have been part...
