I just wanted to write you an email to say a huge thank you to you and all the wonderful staff at Birkdale Park Nursing Home for looking after my dad so wonderfully well in his last days.
Every single person involved in his care was so kind and careful with him and we are so very grateful to all of
them!
I especially would like to mention two members of staff, in particular, as they were particularly amazing with Dad. On the night he died, they were both absolutely exemplary with their care, concern and love to Dad and to us all, as a family. We will never ever forget their kindness to us all.
Thank you again and we send all our love and thanks to you all. My dad had he been able, would have said the same!

It was one of the hardest things for me to do to put my mum into a nursing home. Luckily, I chose Birkdale Park Nursing Home. It's clean and tidy always and the staff, from the kitchen, nurses and office staff, are excellent. That helped me so much I came in every week. Sometimes if work allows me more
so I see it regularly. Thank you to them all. Would never be afraid to recommend it.

My husband was treated with dignity and respect the whole time he was a resident in Birkdale Park Nursing Home. I too was given enormous support, plenty of cups of tea, hugs whenever needed and even my meals in my husband's last weeks before he died in April 2024. The residents are all treated with
care, with plenty of activities should they wish to take part. The food was very good indeed and an alternative was offered if the resident didn't like what was on the menu. An excellent nursing home in my opinion.

Although my mum was only at Birkdale Park Nursing Home for a few months I felt that she received a very high standard of care at all times.
The care home is a friendly and welcoming place with a lovely team of staff and a wide range of activities provided for the residents.
Unfortunately, my mum
passed away in January but the care and dignity that she and us as her family received meant such a lot to us during a very difficult time.

My partner moved into Birkdale Park Nursing Home after a sudden and severe stroke. He has been left with a lot of needs and is non-verbal. In our experience, all the staff are amazing - dedicated to their residents and also the relatives. They take time to get to know you well, meaning they can meet
known needs and anticipate problems. It is a comfortable and happy environment in which I can be sure he is getting the care he needs. I can also take his dog in to visit which is wonderful for his mental health too. It is truly the next best thing to having him at home with me.

Review from Yvonne D (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum made me promise I would never 'put' her in a care home, so it was with a heavy heart that the decision was taken out of my hands. However, I can say that I now have a light heart! To date, I have spent 5-8 hours a day for a total of thirty days with my mother and feel I know the care home very well.
I have a strong belief that those in their later stages of life deserve the absolute best, with full respect and dignity. This is the prime reason I am rating Birkdale Park Nursing Home so highly. The staff have made both myself and my mother feel very welcome and very special, no matter how challenging their days might be sometimes. I am very conscious that it takes a whole team to make things work so well and so would like to give credit to everyone involved. There is a lovely, warm atmosphere, with staff sensitive to when it's ok to have a laugh, as well as to provide the right words in those more sensitive moments. Nothing was ever any trouble, even when I had some unusual requests! Fully recommend.

I have been seriously ill this year with several slipped discs, and an emergency eye operation, but I was fully confident that my brother would continue to be looked after with the excellent care he normally gets, and knew that he was, and still is in the safest of hands. The standard of care he gets
is excellent and attentive, both from the nursing staff, and from the manager himself. It's because my brother is so happy that It took the worry away from me when my illnesses were at their worst, and during my convalescence now.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Birkdale Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.833 for Birkdale Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (347 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 413 Ratings = 4.833
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Birkdale Park Nursing Home is based on 35 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 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.
