Fees quoted are the residential room rate only and based on facilities such as (ensuite, ground floor, garden access etc) but may also be increased due to level of personal care dependency. Respite is for a minimum period of 2 weeks. Please note that the costs quoted are the room costs only. Funding Nursing Care (FNC) if assessed and granted is retained by the Birkdale Park to cover the necessary costs for the specialist nursing care and clinical supervision for that individual. Weekly hair dressing is available and approx £12-£20 dependent on treatment eg Cut and Blow - Cut and Set. Other chargeable services could include physio or podiatry. All rooms have TV and WIFI. There are no other costs.
No restrictions, however, Birkdale Park does operate protected mealtimes nicely 'discourage' visiting to allow staff to focus on ensuring lovely residents are served food without distraction. These times are 1230 -1400 and 1630-1730 hrs.
Rear car park, however, if car parking and reversing skills aren't what they used to be then it is recommended to park on the main road outside the care home.
Birkdale Park Nursing Home has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10, based on 46 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time Birkdale Park Nursing Home has 117 reviews.

Dear Dee, Many thanks for your kind comments and review. We have a wonderful team at Birkdale Park, and ensuring that we have two nurses on duty-especially during the day-is a key aspect of our care delivery. In addition, during the day, we have seven carers on shift. We seldom use agency staff, as we prioritise having excellent senior care staff to maintain a high standard of care throughout the day. We are truly honoured to look after these wonderful people at such a vulnerable time in their lives. We also take great pleasure in supporting their families, getting to know them, and ensuring they feel very much a part of the care process. Once again, a huge thank you for taking the time to leave your comments-reviews like yours are invaluable to potential residents and their families. Take care, and many thanks again

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Birkdale Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.853 for Birkdale Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (469 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 539 Ratings = 4.853
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 Birkdale Park Nursing Home is based on 46 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 46 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.
