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.

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 HomeThank 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 of her journey. Thank you for your trust and kind words. Take care and love to the family. Yours Jonathan

I cannot recommend highly enough. All of the staff are amazing, so caring and thoughtful as well as ultimate professionals. They cared for my dad for a year. My mum pretty much visited him every day and she was always welcomed and treated as one of the Birkdale Park family. If you are looking for somewhere
for your loved one you would be hard pushed to find a better place. You can be reassured they will be in the best of hands and treated with the utmost care and respect.
Reply from Jonathan Cunningham, Registered Manager at Birkdale Park Nursing HomeThank you so much for your kind and generous words. It was a true privilege to care for your dad during his time with us, and we were incredibly fond of him. He brought warmth and character to our home, and we all genuinely loved looking after him. Your mum, our beloved Home Matron - became such an integral part of daily life at Birkdale Park. Her presence, compassion, and unwavering love for your dad touched all of us, and we always looked forward to welcoming her each day. She will always be part of the Birkdale Park family. Knowing that you felt your dad was safe, respected, and cared for with dignity means the world to us. It's families like yours that remind us why we do what we do. Thank you again for your trust, and for sharing such a beautiful reflection. Thank you again for taking the time to write your thoughts and feelings. I will inform the staff of your lovely words. Take care and love to the whole family. xxxx

This care home is excellent in the care that it provides. Being an old building with extensions, the room facilities are not perfect but the care of the residents far out weighs any negatives in the building. Cleanliness is excellent. Food seems very good and my step mother doesn't complain. Although
she is not keen to participate in activities much they do provide a very varied programme. Staff are excellent and most friendly and welcoming. Management are keen to learn and improve if relatives have any suggestions to offer.
Reply from Jonathan Cunningham, Registered Manager at Birkdale Park Nursing HomeThank you for your kind review of Birkdale Park Nursing Home. We're delighted you appreciate the exceptional care our dedicated team provides. While our building has traditional charm, we ensure it remains warm, homely, and comfortable, complemented by our modern wing.Our outstanding staff go above and beyond to create a welcoming environment, and we're pleased their dedication has stood out. Cleanliness and food quality are priorities, and it's great to hear your stepmother is happy.We offer a varied activities programme, including live music, guest speakers, and school visits, though participation is always a personal choice. We also appreciate your recognition of our open and responsive management.Thank you again for your support - your feedback means so much to us

Very please with the nursing home helpfull and approachable staff - outstanding to have 2 RGN on site at all times really needed.
Reply from Jonathan Cunningham, Registered Manager at Birkdale Park Nursing HomeDear Dee, Many thanks for your kind comments and review. We have a wonderful team at Birkdale Park, and ensuring that we have two nurses on duty-especially during the day-is a key aspect of our care delivery. In addition, during the day, we have seven carers on shift. We seldom use agency staff, as we prioritise having excellent senior care staff to maintain a high standard of care throughout the day. We are truly honoured to look after these wonderful people at such a vulnerable time in their lives. We also take great pleasure in supporting their families, getting to know them, and ensuring they feel very much a part of the care process. Once again, a huge thank you for taking the time to leave your comments-reviews like yours are invaluable to potential residents and their families. Take care, and many thanks again

    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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
