We knew that this was primarily end of life care. From the moment we met the staff it was inviting, courteous. Everybody was really professional and very reassuring. We felt completely confident that dad was in good hands. Dad received excellent 24/7 care. Kitchen baked a cake for dad's 98th birthday. Staff bought a Liverpool balloon for his room.
We were told promptly when Dad did not have long left . All staff handled every matter with sensitivity and compassion; they made us feel like we could've been at home with him in his final hours. They were able to arrange last rites in his room with a staff member on hand to take part while we were travelling up.
Dad spent his last hours comfortable and well cared for. We will always be grateful we chose Birkdale Park and would recommend them to all seeking this kind of care for a loved one
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and moving review. It was a genuine privilege for all of us at Birkdale Park to care for your dad and to support you and your family during such an emotional time. We are so pleased that you felt reassured that he was comfortable, treated with dignity and...

It gave me great comfort that Mum was well cared for, safe and supported at Birkdale during respite care following surgery. The teams were thoughtful and considerate - accommodating specific dietary requirements and even making her a birthday cake.

We, as a Family, cannot thank All the Staff enough for the loving/excellent care they have provided for Mum over the last 2.5 years she spent at Birkdale Park. They became our "friends" and made us feel so welcome when we visited, nothing was too much trouble and they gave us Mum this extra time from when she arrived so very poorly from hospital - Thank You! It is a lovely, friendly home and we highly recommend to anyone if they are considering a Nursing Home for a loved one xx You will not find a better place were you can walk away each time knowing that your loved one is being look after and cared for so well - Best Wishes to you All - John, Andrew and Annmarie & Family XXX

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.

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.
Knowing that your Auntie feels like a true part of our family means everything to us - because that's exactly what we hope for every person who calls...
I can't recommend them enough.
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...
My mum has been in Birkdale Park for nearly 3 years and the care she has received there has been outstanding. All the staff are kind and hard working.

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.
