After suffering a minor stroke, my mother was transferred from the hospital to Birkdale Park for ongoing care. She has been looked after very well. The atmosphere is very friendly and loving, and it gives her and us total assurance of first-class care and support during her stay here.

My mum had been in Birkdale Park in a step-down bed following a fall in her home in January, she was transferred there from Hospital, she was there until July 10th. I found the home to be quite dated although work is in progress updating. The home was very clean and the food very good. I found the staff
to be friendly and caring towards my Mum. Unfortunately, the only downside was the manager who I found very unprofessional and lacking in communication with the family. Someone uncaring who didn't take the time to get to know his residents. Please don't be fooled by his weekly online videos.

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

Dear Lorraine, many thanks for taking the time to write a review of your Mother’s care at Birkdale Park. I also welcome the 5 Star reviews you have provided for care, food, dignity, cleanliness etc. I agree aspects of the nursing home appear dated. This is not surprising as a converted Victorian dwelling. It is also equipped with the latest facilities and rooms with views onto our landscaped gardens. I fully sympathise that you were upset that we asked you to find another home for your mum but we were unable to effectively manage her behaviours. I must thank you for recognising that I provide a weekly video update to all relatives. Birkdale Park is one of the few care homes in UK that provide this service. Other families comment and value our effective communication so I must apologise if this was not your experience. I do hope your Mum is now settled in her new home. She was a lovely lady and quite a character. It would be lovely to see you if you are passing. Thank you, Jonathan

Since the very first day my mum has been at Birkdale Park, I feel she has been well looked after and professionally cared for by all members of staff - from the reception, the visitors get to the constant care and vigilance displayed by all other staff. I can tell by the improvement in my mum's demeanour
and appearance this has been a constant and has led to her successfully transitioning to another home where there is less need for nursing care. Thank you.

My mother was taken into Birkdale Park a month ago for end-of-life care. It is testament to the quality of care she is receiving that she is in no hurry to leave us! They are treating her with the utmost dignity. She is clean and supplied with nourishment suitable for her needs. Thank you to the wonderful

My family member is quite content at Birkdale Park. She likes the routine of what goes on, especially the days she gets visitors. She is a very social person and loves to chat with the staff and residents. The one thing she finds hard is the limit on how many times she is taken out. Usually about one
and a half hours a week. I know time is limited and I suppose everyone wants to go out but this does affect her. At the moment we rely on the care home for this as my husband works nights, and I myself work full time and have my mum to look after who has Parkinson’s disease.
Other than that she is quite happy and realises she is better off and more cared for than if she had stayed at home.

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

Thank you Gail for your lovely response and thank you for mentioning the number of times she goes out. We have a full activities team who make it their mission to get around all the lovely residents we have staying with us. Once again many thanks for your lovely comments. We will pass these on to all our amazing staff.

Our mum has been here over a month now, and it is such a relief to know she is here in safe hands; given her needs, she could not be anywhere better. Each day the commitment of staff who work together as a fabulous team is a huge reassurance to us. Their affectionate care for Mum is outstanding. Genuine
kindness, efficiency, great communication with family, good humour and professionalism are real hallmarks of this nursing home. Today, on Mum's Birthday, the wonderful team have together made it a very special day for her and for us. Precious memories have been created.

It was our first visit to see my mum as we live in Cornwall now. We were very impressed with all the staff, from the receptionist, cook, entertainment, and of course, the nursing staff. The nurses are a credit to the home and cannot be more passionate and kind to the people staying in the home. Both
myself and my wife would like to thank everyone for the care they are giving to my mum; it gives me peace of mind that she is safe and well looked after.

My experience of Birkdale Park Nursing Home, is that the staff are incredible. It is a very well-run nursing home. All staff members are caring and always happy to help. I believe it is a tailored care that they provide. Meals are cooked fresh and no complaints from my father. My father is very well
cared for in this establishment and loves all the staff. I couldn't imagine my father living anywhere else apart from Birkdale. My thanks go to every staff member here.

My husband was only in Birkdale Park for a very short time on end of life care. From the moment he arrived both he and all his family were welcomed into the homes extended family. Birkdale Park takes a holistic approach and cares for the families of residents as well as the resident themselves. From
the manager down the staff are exceptional and really care for and about their residents. My husband was treated with dignity and respect at all times, when there were no visitors, the staff sat and chatted with him, given how busy they are, this was very much appreciated. I cannot recommend Birkdale Park highly enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making his last days as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

Overall I feel Birkdale Park has been the best place we could have found for mum with the resources at our disposal. The carers really do care. Mum's room is kept clean and she always has clean clothes and bedding. The carers show compassion and interest in mum and have been very kind and thoughtful
with dad when he visits too. Birkdale Park has been managed particularly well throughout the COVID pandemic and families of residents have been kept informed at all stages. All staff have worked really hard.

My sister transferred to Birkdale Park a few years ago as her previous home was closing. Although anxious at first, it was the best thing for my sister. The staff encouraged her to come out of her room more and use the lounges and courtyard where my sister has developed friendships and joined in the
activities within the home. In addition to the activities in the home, my sister has enjoyed trips out on the rickshaw for ice cream along the promenade, minibus trips to gardens centres and even a trip to Blackpool. It is a new lease of life for her being a resident at Birkdale Park.

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

Thank you Nancy for your lovely words. We love looking after your gorgeous sister. She is such a character and we always love seeing her get involved with the number of activities and rickshaw rides. Thank you again for your time in providing a review.

My mum has been in Birkdale Park for 2 1/2 years now, I cannot recommend this place enough. All the staff which includes everyone in the building is caring kind and thoughtful. I have been so grateful throughout Covid for the care given to mum and the safety she has received, we have been given updates
at very regular intervals including zoom meeting, Skype and walk rounds to ensure us of the wellbeing of our relatives. The staff are caring and considerate to mum and myself approachable and friendly nothing seems too much trouble and importantly to me laughter can be heard throughout the building when I visit making it a happy place. Mum had a pacemaker fitted at the age of 97 and has recovered remarkably with the help and care from the staff, she has a lovely single room with her personal belongings around her. Thank you, Birkdale Park. I would strongly recommend it to everyone.

My mum was in Birkdale Park for two and a half weeks. I can honestly say she was so well cared for. The care and support was given not only to her but to myself too.

My dad very much enjoyed his stay at Birkdale Park and particularly appreciated the care and dedication of the staff. He has strengthened significantly during his stay and is now in a position to move to a residential home. I found the staff (both management and operational) to be very good, helpful
and considerate with a particularly sensitive and evitably accommodating approach to the interaction between the resident (my dad) and his family. I also appreciated the warmth, friendship and openness/franchises in their engagement with me, my dad and the ability to bring humour in an appropriate manner to a tough situation.

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.
