Review from Peter K (Son of Resident) published on 9 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
All the staff are caring and professional. My mother is treated with care and dignity and this is very important given her poor health and very limited mobility.
The atmosphere in the home is friendly and warm and despite the pressures, the staff are highly motivated.
Communication is good and the staff and management respond to issues quickly, sensitively and professionally.

The home is well led.

Overall Experience

The home had a very friendly, family feel to it. It was my uncle's birthday all the staff came in to sing Happy Birthday. All staff seemed friendly and to genuinely care about the residents. I only saw the living room but it was clean and pleasant.

Review from P H (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

It is a delight and a relief to be able to leave my father at Birkdale Park in the knowledge that he will be looked after and safe 24/7. It provides a warm and stimulating environment. The care home enables him to live with dignity. He has privacy when he requires it and companionship when he wants it. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Review from S H (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I am pleased with the home. The staff are very busy and do try very hard and they are caring. The managers do try to provide quality for the residents and again do genuinely care about them.
My mum always had very high cleanliness standards in terms of how tidy her home was etc and I do struggle to keep her room up to the standard she would expect. I'm not saying it's dirty - not at all- just sometimes, is untidy.

The kitchen staff are great and try their best to accommodate my mum's tastes. I would like her to be more encouraged to take part in resident activities although, I do appreciate how difficult it is with her condition and mobility.

Many thanks for your kind words - we love our residents and love 'Ricky' our rickshaw too.

Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Birkdale Park to anyone. The staff and management couldn't do enough for my mother-in-law and the rest of our family.

She was treated with the utmost dignity and respect and the family was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. We had to stay over a couple of nights and everything possible was done at a difficult and upsetting time and was very much appreciated. Couldn't thank the staff and management enough.

I found every person involved in this establishment to be of the highest regard concerning the health and welfare of my wide in her hours of need. No person from the most menial to the highest of the medical team could have done more to make my wife more comfortable in any way shape or form.

Review from John S (Friend of Resident) published on 31 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I seek to visit on a regular basis, a member of our church, in residence at Birkdale Park. On each occasion, I find she is dressed smartly and her room is spotless and she is appreciative of the care she receives.

In March '18, I was asked by a funeral director to take the funeral of another resident. A member of staff was most helpful in providing me with an accurate and informative picture of the lady's personality.

My mother was very ill when she went to Birkdale Park and she could not have had better care. All of the staff were professional and caring and we felt that we could trust them completely to keep her comfortable and secure. Everyone we met was also very kind to the family, concerned for our feelings and keeping us informed.
