Birchlands Care Home

We, as a family, are so very lucky to have the peace of mind that Mum is here, being cared for by a team that has real compassion for all the residents and relatives. No concern or worry about my mum and her health is ever too much, the manager is always on hand to talk about Mum for which is am grateful
and last week put things in place instantly after a conversation concerning Mum's dementia. This works really well being able to pop in and see the manager, it puts my mind at rest. I have confidence in her and her team when it's the care of my mum, then it's priceless.

I visit my nana roughly once per month, the facilities are always clean and welcoming, and the staff are kind, approachable and informative with updates about nana's condition and also what activities have been going on. The staff are smiley and able to keep the atmosphere light, which I feel is a necessary
skill when my nana's mood can shift so suddenly with her dementia. My nana is on the nursing floor, the nurses in particular are very knowledgeable with her conditions.

My husband was on the nursing floor for 10 months until his death, looked after mainly by the same staff.
The care and housekeeping staff gave exceptional service always with a smile.
The nursing team were excellent. I felt consulted and listened to throughout. When my husband was on end-of-life
care I couldn't have asked for more support.
I am so glad I chose Birchlands. Thank you all.

My mum, when she passed away, had been in Birchlands Care Home nearly two years. The care she had was excellent. I can not fault it. It felt like a home. She was 98 years old.

From the day Dad came, the nursing staff have been amazing. They are both professional and have been a fantastic support not only to Dad but the whole family. His care has been amazing. All staff including carers, cook, cleaning, laundry etc are amazing, so glad we chose Birchlands.

Some nurses are excellent. Extremely friendly and helpful. A huge thank you.
One member of staff, in particular, is outstanding. Goes above and beyond for his patients, being firm and honest when needed. Connected well with my grandfather. A true hero. Has made some dark days manageable. This member
of staff should be extremely proud. Thank you.

Nothing is too much trouble. The peace of mind that Mum is in a wonderful environment, being cared for by lovely staff is welcome. The nursing staff, in particular, on the nursing floor provide care and compassion to my mum who has complex health needs. I know when I leave that Mum is in safe hands
with a team of people that go above and beyond for her and that's all that matters.

My husband was transferred to Birchlands Care Home for end-of-life care. The team were amazing. Treated him and family/visitors with utmost respect and dignity. Fantastic care. Can't speak highly enough of all the staff caring for him, including nurses, care assistants, domestic and administration.
My husband was very calm and peaceful, thanks to the environment and their care.

My mum had to leave another care home in York having lived there with dementia for four years. We received four weeks' notice that they would be permanently closing in January 2024. Panic stations! Mum arrived at Birchlands Care Home on the 13th of December 2023, simply a blessing in disguise. Mum has
been very warmly welcomed and has received far superior care in the few short weeks she has been there!

The staff not only cared for my husband but also for the family and friends who visited. I commend all the staff, admin, cleaners, carers and nurses who always had the time for us. I felt I could return home knowing my husband was well looked after and his needs met. Empathy and understanding of who
my husband was ensured his final weeks of life were the best they could be, thank you.

The service at Birchlands was caring and thoughtful. The chef went the extra mile to produce meals that my husband would eat. The carers were excellent and tried to help my husband's stay be as good as could be. End of life was supported with medication and a nurse checking on hum regularly. The staff
tried to accommodate all my requests. I cannot fault the home or staff.

You have a special environment at the home at a difficult time for families. I could not wish for my aunty to have had her final days. Every member of the time is warm, always a smile, welcoming to my aunties visitors and to my aunty.
The home will always have a special place in my heart - thank you
to everyone.
