Very pleasant. We were offered tea/coffee & biscuit & when we arrived. Our friend appears to be happy & well cared for. We stayed for over an hour and chatted. The staff were very nice & before we left served lunch which looked delicious, I quite wished we had been staying.

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...

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. 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.

The care at Birkdale Park is excellent. From what I have seen, carers deliver the same care that I would expect them to provide to their own families. Nothing is too much.

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.

Susan, thank you so much for your heartfelt words regarding the care your father received at Birkdale Park. It was an honour to look after him and the family.

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.

Review from E C (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My dad was discharged from hospital in January 2024 in very poor health. All the staff at Birkdale Park Nursing Home went out of their way to make sure all of his needs were met - from the kitchen making up special meals and desserts in line with his dietary requirements, the office staff ordering him small items he wanted from online, the nursing and care staff ensuring he was safe and well cared for, the laundry and cleaning staff looking after his wider hygiene. It was obvious from talking to the staff that they all knew him personally, knowing his likes, dislikes and personality. His sad passing was handled with dignity and the family supported.

Overall Experience
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!

Review from Anthony S (Son of Resident) published on 24 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

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

Thank you for your lovely words, it is such an anxious time for any of us to place a loved one into care. However, at Birkdale Park, we ensure that life goes on. We all sing, dance and live our lives to the full, regardless of how much time we have left! It is an honour to look after all these gorgeous people and their families. Thank you again and take care.
