Birch Grove is a fantastically caring Nursing Home. My friend stayed there after a spell in hospital, to assess whether she would be able to return to her home or not. In time, it was clear that my friend needed Nursing Home care. She stayed in Birch Grove and her final 18 months of life were filled
with kindness, fun activities and making new friends. Before Birch Grove my friend had become isolated; living in Birch Grove, she took part in many wonderful events and celebrations. She was also supported to go on a trip out for lunch, something she hadn't managed for quite some time. I would recommend Birch Grove to anyone who is considering a Nursing Home for their loved one. The staff are very kind and compassionate and the team is very well led by a great manager.

My mum arrived at Birch Grove Nursing Home after being in hospital and I was very nervous, as I never thought that she would require nursing home care. However, the care and respect shown by all of the staff have been very humbling and I can not thank them enough for everything they did.
Outstanding,
compassionate and excellent care was provided and I am very grateful to all concerned.

Having lived her final 13 months at Birch Grove, our mother passed away there, peacefully, in early February.
The care she received in that year, and particularly in her final days, was more than we could have wished for. Though the loss was very painful, the care and attention Mum, and us as her
family, received at that time from the staff was precious and has left very special memories that will help us through.
The management and staff genuinely care about their residents and go above and beyond to make this very much 'their home'. Everyone is treated as an individual, respected for who they are, and celebrated at every opportunity.
Though the initial transitioning couple of months from her own flat to nursing care was a difficult/upsetting time for Mum, she very quickly grew to realise this was a safe place, a place to be with people, to socialise (or not), to be creative, to have fun, dance and laugh. There is always something happening at BG. Thank you for everything!!

My 92-year-old mum came to Birch Grove for re-assessment in December 2023 and was welcomed by the staff. They quickly worked out my mum's personality which was fun and happy and liked to banter and they engaged with her stopping to chat as they passed her door and waving hello as they passed. The
kitchen was quite happy to make Mum something different if she didn't like the dinner. When Mum was finally accepted as a full-time resident the management went to great lengths to offer Mum a room which was bigger and more private but Mum liked the smaller room she had been in which was normally used for short stays only, so this was redecorated and made mum's permanent room which she loved. Mum passed away in May so was only at home for 5 months but in that time she had settled and felt totally at home and loved all the staff so I cannot thank them enough. If you want a home that feels very friendly and family-orientated with caring and friendly staff then Birch Grove fits the bill.

My mother was transferred to the care of Birchgrove Nursing Home from Hospital admission, for respite care, which turned into a long-term stay.
The high level of care from management down was evident every time we visited Mum every few weeks. Her whole demeanour lightened up! She smiled and laughed
more whenever my husband and I visited. She enjoyed being in the company of other residents or by herself.
Mum participated in the majority of events, often encouraging others; and this was supported by the care staff.
The management team, carers, and kitchen staff all participated in various activities with residents, which in turn encouraged Mum to get involved. This also encouraged us as a family.
The staff always ensured Mum had what she needed from clothing, food, personal care, etc. Even down to allowing her access to a small patio area to her room and putting a bird table there, to enjoy seeing birds feeding as well as mischievous squirrels!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.983) out of 10 for Birch Grove Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.983 for Birch Grove Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.983

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Birch Grove Nursing Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
