Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum made me promise I would never 'put' her in a care home, so it was with a heavy heart that the decision was taken out of my hands. However, I can say that I now have a light heart! To date, I have spent 5-8 hours a day for a total of thirty days with my mother and feel I know the care home very well.
I have a strong belief that those in their later stages of life deserve the absolute best, with full respect and dignity. This is the prime reason I am rating Birkdale Park Nursing Home so highly. The staff have made both myself and my mother feel very welcome and very special, no matter how challenging their days might be sometimes. I am very conscious that it takes a whole team to make things work so well and so would like to give credit to everyone involved. There is a lovely, warm atmosphere, with staff sensitive to when it's ok to have a laugh, as well as to provide the right words in those more sensitive moments. Nothing was ever any trouble, even when I had some unusual requests! Fully recommend.

Reply from Jonathan Cunningham, Registered Manager at Birkdale Park Nursing Home

Dear Yvonne, many thanks for your kind words and heartfelt thanks for taking the time to write a review. These reviews are so important for potential relatives who are going through exactly the same emotions you have described. It is always an anxious time when one places a loved one into long-term care. However, we are fortunate at Birkdale Park to have the very best of staff. Our staff are always attentive, carefully selected and closely supervised by some of the best clinical and managerial teams. I will ensure that your words are passed on to our amazing staff and once again, many thanks for taking the time to write such a beautiful and thoughtful review. Many thanks again..

Just a brilliant, caring and humour-filled place. Really felt that my sister was in a safe, organised home with all she needed for her fairly short stay.
The staff were all attentive and got to know my sister over the time she was there. I felt it to be a very caring and safe place.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. These reviews are so important to reassure other relatives who may be considering a move to Birkdale Park. It is always such an anxious time to entrust a loved one with others to look after their every need. In Southport alone there are over 85 care homes so these reviews are so important for others. It is always an honour and pleasure to look after these gorgeous people. We have the very best of staff and seldom need to use agency staff. I'm also delighted that we made you both so welcome,.

I have been seriously ill this year with several slipped discs, and an emergency eye operation, but I was fully confident that my brother would continue to be looked after with the excellent care he normally gets, and knew that he was, and still is in the safest of hands. The standard of care he gets
is excellent and attentive, both from the nursing staff, and from the manager himself. It's because my brother is so happy that It took the worry away from me when my illnesses were at their worst, and during my convalescence now. For these reasons, I would not hesitate to recommend Birkdale Park Nursing Home to anybody.

My mother has been a resident at Birkdale Park Nursing Home since February and I am very satisfied with the home. The staff are all friendly and helpful from the ladies at reception on first entering to all the care and domestic staff (the lovely ladies in the kitchen always make us a brew), and we
feel my mum is very well looked after. The nurses are all approachable and very happy to speak to me to discuss any concerns or questions I may have relating to her care and make a point of ringing me to advise of any issues or medical-related points. The entertainment lady does an excellent job and the residents look forward to the fab quiz which goes down well on a Wednesday! My mum really enjoys the opportunity to have a bath as her mobility is extremely limited and loves having her hair done by the excellent hairdressers. One of her highlights is being taken out for a drive in the wheelchair-adapted van or having a walk into town or around the lake. To sum up, I feel she is happy and settled.

My partner was discharged to Birkdale Park from hospital following a severe stroke. The staff are excellent, always caring and friendly and happy to answer all my questions. They take great care to find out what his likes and dislikes are in food, drink, music or anything that makes him happy, particularly
as he is currently nonverbal. I feel they make an extra effort as he has this difficulty in communication. The facilities at the home are excellent too and visitors are made very welcome at any time of the day. As a relative I find the link to the Relatives Gateway very informative, I can see when he eats, how much he drinks when he has his medication, if he uses his buzzer and how his night was, all reassuring to know at any time. In my opinion, he is in the best possible place for his current needs.

Reply from Jonathan Cunningham, Registered Manager at Birkdale Park Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind heartfelt comments. It is very much appreciated. It is a delight to see you both. It is wonderful to see his improvement.

Birkdale Park Nursing Home manages so well to combine great friendly care and kindness with high standards of competence in nursing. Such a combination gave me all the confidence and assurance I needed so badly to recover from acute surgery. The demands of sufficient staffing levels, generosity under
pressure at times of high residents' demands and disciplined doctoring by nursing professionals - they do all this so well in a family feeling.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

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.

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 4.853 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.
