Overall Experience

I am a friend of 62 years standing. Always a warm welcome to visitors. My friend was very poorly when admitted to the home, but has made a remarkable recovery. He seems content with his situation.

Overall Experience

A very professional and caring approach was taken from the staff at Birkdale Park from the beginning. I felt very satisfied and at ease that my Dad was being looked after by such lovely and caring staff in his short stay here. The home is very homely and welcoming and I felt happy and at ease to be able to visit Dad at any time. Nothing was too much trouble.

Overall Experience

Birkdale Park is a first-rate nursing home. The compassionate and caring staff are truly dedicated to ensuring that my mother has all her complex needs fully met. They treat her not only with dignity but also as if she were a friend. They go out of their way to get to know their residents and their families. The home is very clean and beautifully appointed. I could not ask for better care for my mum.

Review from Jocelyne H (Sister of Resident) published on 11 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My sister is in Birkdale park and she is having wonderful care.
The staff are fantastic and there's always something going on to interest her.
The manager even took her and her husband out along the pier in a rickshaw, he even did all the cycling.
We are welcome any time we want to visit and they even bring us a tray of tea.
It's her birthday on Thursday and we are having a party plus cake which they make for everyone's special day.
There seems to be lots of singing as one of the residents loves to sing and gets everybody joining in.

If it ever comes to the point where I can't look after myself I hope there's a Birkdale park near me.

Overall Experience
I visit my dad every 2 weeks as I live in North Wales. Peace of mind my dad is looked after so well. He has settled in very well and so happy here.

Care staff are always friendly. I know if there are any issues the home would ring either myself or my brother. Kitchen staff cater for my dad really well and give my dad a lot of choice as he has a small diet.
