The staff at Birkin Lodge provided thoughtful care for my mother in her final years. The atmosphere was calm and friendly. Communication was excellent. The food was good. Thank you to all for making her so comfortable.

All staff are very helpful and provide good care.They soon got to know my father's likes and dislikes.There are a good selection of activities on offer and families are encouraged to join their loved ones.It feels very homely.

My beloved grandmother recently came to live at Birkin Lodge, I was very impressed with the friendly staff, the fact that we are allowed to visit at anytime and the fun activities that were put on everyday - which we were able to join in with. We had food tasting, fun facts, quizzes, a BBQ in the
garden, general fun. My grandmother, whom is over 100 years old is enjoying her stay immensely - especially the food which I have to say looks top notch. The thing that has most struck me is the fact that everyone goes beyond and above to make their residents and guests welcome, it really is a home from home, I cannot recommend this place enough!

Keep in a lovely way, staff great Mum happy to be here.

I have not rated some of the services simply because, as a volunteer visitor, with no specific person, friend or relative belonging to me here, I have not experienced some aspects of the home. I have no idea of the costs involved in being a resident here, so I cannot comment about value for money.
However, the home has a good reputation in the area.

Mum had been feeling unwell and staff at Birkin were quick to get Doctor to check on her and arrange further testing at local hospital.. they arranged hospital transport and an escort.. I was then able to meet them at the hospital for said tests and listen to consultation .. mum was seen and had
even had a packed lunch prepared in the event of any delay which I'm pleased to say there was none.. and on returning to Birkin she was even able to have her favourite meal "fish and chips " .. I feel the staff are both caring and attentive and are happy to discuss any issues that may arise .. I feel that mum's needs are covered and that gives me peace of mind

My auntie is very happy and so well cared for at Birkin Lodge Care & Nursing Home. The staff are very cheerful and nothing is too much. I visit twice a week and it's always the same, happy and homely.

My father has been in this home since December. It really has been the making of him. The care has been excellent and the activities provided are second to none. The food is excellent and I know my father is happy here which makes me happy too.

We hold a monthly communion service at the Birkin Lodge Care & Nursing Home and are always made welcome; the residents speak well of living there too. The Lodge has recently undergone refurbishment so all is looking bright and welcoming. Always seem to have a range of activities going on and a good
varied menu with vegetarian options.

What an amazing place! The staff are the best. It's so lovely to see my grandad so happy and well looked after. Thank you so much.

I visit the home on an almost daily basis, I am always welcomed in like a member of one big family, not just as a family member to a resident. The activity coordinator arranges the most amazing special events and I am often pulled along for the ride and I love it. The head of department is
infectious and joyful and even on my auntie's darkest days she can bring a smile to her face. The care team and management team are always present and available to talk if I ever need to. I would highly recommend this home based on its love, care and compassion. I always see clean and fresh living areas and what stands out the most is the dignity and respect that is shown to each resident whenever I am there. I love seeing how happy my aunt is since coming to live and make friends at Birkin Lodge. For the money that is paid to stay here, I would say they are selling themselves short. We were quoted much more for much less in other places.

My nana is very happy here at Birkin lodge. She has been with them since January, starting with a few weeks of respite and loved it so much she is now a permanent resident at the home. The staff are all so friendly and kind and caring. My nana said it’s like a family home and she feels very safe and
happy here and made some new friends. They do a wide range of activities which she loves to be involved in. Sometimes she struggles with her sight but they are always willing to help and encourage her. The food is of a very high standard and they are always willing to accommodate me joining my nana when I visit, by offering me to stay and have tea or lunch with her. We are very lucky that we have managed to get my nana into such a kind caring place.

My mum is well cared for in a safe, warm environment. The staff are friendly and approachable. My mum enjoys the food provided; I believe there are a wide variety of choices for lunch and supper. I like that you can visit at any time of the day.

Excellent care home. Home from home for residents. Always something going on for residents to be involved with. Friendly and efficient, competent staff. The food is always very good. Management and nursing staff are always available for any concerns.

My mother was stuck in the hospital after breaking her hip and then having two heart attacks while recuperating from the ensuing hip operation. She told me more than once, whilst there, that she was too tired to fight on and just wanted to give up. Since being placed in Birkin Lodge, however, she
has literally gained a new lease on life. She is the happiest I've seen her for some time and goes to great lengths to tell me (and anyone who will listen) how wonderful the staff are, how friendly they are towards her and how I couldn't have chosen a better care home for her. Needless to say, this is a huge relief for me too. Mum is 99 years old later this year and still as sharp as a tack, much of which I attribute to the care she receives at Birkin Lodge, so thank you to everyone involved, from both of us.

This home is amazing for giving each and everyone of the residents a personal touch. My grandad was terrified to go into a home, but when he went here he was delighted. They treated him so well and went above and beyond what they needed to. A home where you can genuinely expect the best care for
your loved one.

Since my mother became a resident at Birkin Lodge in 2021 she has received excellent care from all the team at the home. She enjoys the activities and the company of fellow residents in addition to all the staff. My mother often comments on the kindness of all the team and she enjoys the food at
Birkin Lodge immensely.
