Dad has settled in well and is now more interactive and out of bed more. He is in lounge most of time so not isolated which he had been for five months in hospital prior to coming here. Myself and family are very happy with home as it's close to where I live, easy to park and no restricted visiting
times. His choice of meals is excellent and he is offered hot drinks/snacks very regularly. Staff always alert, empathetic, patient and caring and I always feel welcome. I'm kept up to date with Dad's health, wellbeing and progress on every visit.

We have had good experience at Alt Park for 2 and a half years. Their staff always listens to me about Mum's needs, it's a family-type nursing home (small/friendly).
I feel Mum is safe and settled there, especially when she is unwell. The nurses, senior carers, cooks, laundry, and cleaners have always
been helpful to both Mum and me.

I am enjoying my stay in Alt Park Nursing Home.
Their staff are well-trained and they give me all the respect I deserve.
They give me everything I need to enjoy my stay such as taking me out for shopping, to see my family members and to see my doctors when necessary.

My experience with Alt Park has been very good. Staff care about the residents and do an excellent job. My brother-in-law can be difficult but they manage to get him involved in events and make him comfortable.
The nursing staff are managing his pain from an old injury, which is helping his mobility.
Sometimes he isn't keen on the food served to him, but he is provided with an alternative when this happens. Even though he is reluctant staff manage to persuade him to have a shave, which is brilliant and much appreciated. His clothing is washed and returned quickly so he is never short of something to wear.

My father-in-law has been a resident at Alt Park for 18 months. During this time there have been several managers, there appeared to be little leadership and the home faced many challenges, which were noticeable as a visitor. There is another manager in situ now and it is clear to see how well the home
is running. There are many new staff, with just the occasional agency. As a family member I am keen to see the home progress further and I am sure with the new manager Alt Park will flourish.

My husband came from another care home where he was unhappy, but since arriving at Alt Park, he is a different person. He has banter with the staff, playing games, etc.

My Father was only at Alt Park Nursing Home for 1 week and sustained a broken left wrist lacerations and bruising on his left arm which the home cannot explain despite my Dad having 1 to 1 care. My Dad went to Aintree Hospital and there is an open Local Authority Safeguarding enquiry about this. There
is also a Police investigation.

Reply from Lynn Billingham, Business Development Manager at Alt Park

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We welcome all reviews as they help us to develop and improve our services. Sadly, when people are living with advanced dementia their behaviour is often unpredictable and they can be at risk of harm to themselves and to others, particularly when they are in unfamiliar surroundings. During your fathers stay at Alt Park he was receiving 1:1 care which was provided for 20 hours per day. We are working with the relevant external professional bodies to ensure the matter is thoroughly investigated and we look forward to receiving the outcome.

My wife has been in Alt Park now for three years, her arm was broken in the last home she resided in and she spent 5 weeks in hospital and came from the hospital to Alt Park. I felt the love and the empathy the moment I stepped into the home and knew in an instant that this was the home for my wife.
It was a different set up to the other care homes she had been in, residents were sitting together eating their meals and it felt to me like they were all family, and I instantly thought that this can now be part of her family and everything came to fruition. I have never looked back and have noticed the calm in my wife it has made me feel at ease. The staff are nice and polite and the management run a clean and tidy ship. I would highly recommend Alt Park to my family and friends, they have worked extremely hard over the last 2 years with COVID and kept all our loved ones safe. Well done Alt Park and a big thank you.

Alt Park really is a home from home. The care and individual genuine attention shown to my wonderful brother could not be bettered. The atmosphere at Alt Park is loving and I noticed from the outset that the manager and her team always strive for and achieve every day.
Clinical judgment and response
is sound and every effort has been made to assist my brother in often difficult and sometimes unusual circumstances. At Alt Park the little touches are always there which mean so much to my brother. Thank you Alt Park.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time and sharing your brother's experience at our home. We are thrilled to hear you are happy with our team's care and support for your bother. It is our pleasure to care! Kindly, Alt Park Team.

Absolutely amazing. This has been my Nan’s home for 5/6 years, and they have treated her like family. I am comforted knowing that she has been looked after by the most selfless members of staff who go above and beyond to make the last few years of her life happy and comfortable. The decor inside has
been created to bring a ‘home from home’ to its residents, with bright colours and huge artwork to symbolise the city of Liverpool. Without a doubt, the best care home you could wish for for your loved one.

Alt Park staff went above and beyond making my mother-in-law extremely comfortable in her last 12 months. They took over care after she was moved from another care home, on arrival they discovered bedsores that hadn't been treated and got them seen to straight away. My mother-in-law had been in extreme
pain and the old home hadn't noticed, Alt Park realised straight away and helped. Obviously, with lockdown, we hadn't been in to seen her but Alt Park was brilliant and arranged for visits safely when possible. On her birthday they went out the way to spoil her for us and again arranged a short safe visit. Sadly my mother-in-law passed away at the beginning of this month but we wanted to thank all staff for the care and compassion throughout the 12 months she was with you, it's just a shame we didn't get to meet you properly. Thank you again.

Thank you for taking the time to share this experience with us. We truly care for the well-being of each of our residents, that is why we always make sure they are healthy, happy, and loved. It was truly a blessing having such a kind and beautiful soul as your mother-in-law.

The manager and her wonderful team do a sterling job of caring for my mum. The care and love that each member of the team shows to mum and to our family helps me to come to terms with not being able to visit due to lockdown. I know mum is in a safe, loving, caring environment and I can't thank the manager
and her staff enough.

Under the direction of the Manager, this care home has a fantastic and committed team, who place the welfare of the residents at the centre of everything they do. The interaction of the staff with the residents is very friendly, and I am a firm believer that they treat residents like family, creating
an atmosphere of positivity and a can-do attitude. My Mum has been resident at Alt Park for the last 4 years, and I have the greatest respect for the staff and the way they have looked after Mum, who due to living with Dementia, has presented many challenges from a welfare/Nursing context! I have no hesitation in recommending this care home, based on my observations. Once again from the bottom of my heart, thank you for looking after my Mum.

To all the staff at Alt park, you have been fantastic, working through these troubled times. Never with word of complaint, taking every day as normal. My sister was there for over two years and was treated as one of the family. Going that extra mile and more. Helping her do her crossword and even playing
dominos with her. It was really nice the day at the funeral when all the staff came out to give her a nice send-off. She will be sadly missed by all the family and friends, also by everyone working at Alt park.
Again, thanks for the great care you gave her. If she could speak she would say more.
Take care, from all the family.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.326)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.326) out of 10 for Alt Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.326 for Alt Park is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.326

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alt Park is based on 10 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
