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...

My time here has been better than I ever deemed possible. It could not have been any better had I resided in a five star hotel. My family and I are very greatfull.

Review from S G (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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 Home

Thank 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...

Review from S U (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 12 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Dear Dee, Many thanks for your kind comments and review.

Review from Susan C (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We would like to thank all the staff at Birkdale Park Nursing Home for their exceptional care of my father during his final days and for the care and compassion also shown to us, his family. Although only at the home for a short time, everybody welcomed Dad and made him and us feel so welcome, cared for and special. The exceptional day and night nursing and care staff provided outstanding nursing care and support to keep Dad comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. The professional advice and friendly, caring support provided to us, as a family, was exceptional and helped us immensely through an extremely difficult time. I cannot recommend the home highly enough.

Review from Denise M (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mum only spent seven days in the care at Birkdale Park Nursing Home as prior to this, she was living completely independently. Mum had always been determined that she would never go to a care home and as her daughter, I felt the same. However, once a care home became the only viable option, we accepted Birkdale Park and I'm so glad we did. The staff and care were exemplary. The manager has created an outstanding team of caring and talented individuals. Thank you. Those seven days were the very best we could have hoped for.

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

Denise, many thanks for your beautiful words regarding your mum's stay at Birkdale Park. It was an honour to look after her. We do have the most wonderful staff who are exceptional at what they do. It is a privilege to do what we do at Birkdale Park and I will be sure to convey your lovely words the them too. Thank you again and love to the family.
