The care given to my sister-in-law at Nazareth House Care Home, Birkenhead is just amazing. If she could not be cared for at home, this is as near to home as you could wish for. The staff are so welcoming. They treat residents as family. I have been involved for five years and have no complaints and
would recommend Nazareth House, Birkenhead.

I brought my elderly friend for a 2-week rest after she experienced some health issues. We were both treated well on arrival and shown all the facilities and her room. My friend has been suffering with some anxiety and depression and had lost her appetite. After a few days I noticed an improvement in
her mood and staff reported that she was eating well. All staff knew her name and she reported that everyone was so kind to her and treated her with dignity. Each time I visit there is an offer of a drink ( and biscuit). My friend loves going to mass each day and likes all the afternoon activities that are available. There is always someone to discuss her progress either face to face or on the phone - nothing is too much trouble.
My friend has felt so at home that she has decided to stay long term and all her friends are delighted as they feel she is so well looked after at Nazareth House.

Looking for a care home for a loved one is a stressful time. However, once we found Nazareth House, we knew that we had found the right home for our dad. From the initial look round with the general manager, to our regular visits to see our dad, all the staff are very welcoming and caring. Our dad has
settled well into Nazareth House. He is beginning to join in with the activities programme on offer and enjoys the nutritious meals provided. We are very grateful to the hard-working staff for taking great care of our dad and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nazareth House.

Dad felt very welcomed and cared for at Nazareth House. Staff clearly see their role as a vocation rather than just a job. They helped family rest assured at the fantastic care Dad received. Can't recommend Nazareth House more highly. Superb.

My brother and I are deeply grateful for the wonderful care our mother received at Nazareth House during the last months of her life. The love and care of all the staff was exceptional at all times and this gave Mum a very dignified and peaceful time as he life came to an end. All the stff showed such
care to my brother and me too which was so appreciated at a very sad time in our lives. We will always be grateful for you loving care. Huge thanks.

Nazareth House is a wonderful, caring, warm place with the most wonderful kind team of people. I cannot speak highly enough of them. From my mum’s arrival in October, for what was potentially going to be just a temporary respite stay, through to the peaceful end to her life after about 6 months in
Nazareth House, she was cared for in the truest sense of that word. Far more than just being looked after, she was surrounded by love, warmth and compassion for her as an individual. Helping her get to Mass in the Chapel when she was able meant a great deal to her. What’s more, we as a family always felt welcomed at Nazareth House. Little touches like knowing our names, coming and talking to us about how Mum is, bringing another chair and offering us a cup of tea – they may seem small, but make a world of difference when visiting regularly, especially towards the end of life.

Reply from Sherrel Sacker, General Manager at Nazareth House - Birkenhead

Thank you for your kind review, it is heartwarming to know that the little things that we try to do mean so much to you all, it confirms that what do is valued and therefore drives us to continual improvement. Your mum will be missed here, she was an important part of the Nazareth House Family and much loved.

I am very grateful for the loving care that my sister is experiencing from everyone, it is beyond expectations.
Nazareth House is such a lovely welcoming home for my sister and all the family have been made very welcome.
Nothing is too much trouble and everyone goes above and beyond to care for the
residents and also for the families who visit them.
The beautiful chapel and daily mass is such a blessing and I cannot thank you all enough for your kindness.
My lovely sister is looked after with great respect and gentleness and I feel that she is safe in your care.
Thank you all.

If you're looking at reviews for nursing homes then it is probably because someone you love needs care. This happened quite quickly for Mum, as it does for many. With the best will in the world, it is just impossible to stay at home. Nazareth House was a brilliant next step for Mum. I felt such a sense
of relief when the staff came to see her at home and said that they could help her. Her room at Nazareth House was beautiful; clean, bright and well-equipped (as is the whole home).
Speaking as someone in healthcare, I was extremely happy with all of the care and attention that Mum had. Communication was excellent; everyone was friendly and approachable. I do mean everyone: so many people went 'above and beyond'. Whatever Mum wanted was provided. There was so much more to her stay than that, though. They really saw her as a whole person. She was loved. She was so happy to go to Mass and speak to people daily. It is truly a place to be happy and create memories. Thank you.

Nazareth House staff looked after my dad very well. They were excellent in their nursing/caring skills and their attitude - they were friendly and approachable; whatever we needed for Dad they provided; we couldn’t have asked for better care. The home itself is clean and bright.

From our very first interaction with staff as a family we were supremely confident that our mum was in the absolute best place. All facilities communication and procedures are exceptional as you would expect for your loved one. But there is much more to Nazareth House, the attendance at daily mass was
so important to Mum and something that she had missed. Staff knowing this about Mum and facilitating this time for prayer is just one example of the exceptional level of care we experienced during Mum's short stay. We had our mum back for those few precious weeks. We were all made to feel as part of the Nazareth House family, always welcomed, offered refreshments and involved in conversations that showed just how well staff knew Mum.
Due to distance my visits were long. I was always welcomed and never once made to feel in the way. I really felt that I was visiting Mum at her home.
She was so happy with the spiritual pastoral and social aspects, she viewed Nazareth House as her home and we are all so grateful for this.

Since the new manager has arrived I have noticed a great improvement. The home has a much more warm and welcoming feel to it. The staff (most of them) treat the residents with love and respect and their welfare is very well supported. I am very happy that my mum is there and very happy with the care
she receives.

I certainly would recommend Nazareth House to anyone, in the time my mother has been a resident (16 months) she has been treated with respect and has been cared for excellently at all times. I always get offered tea or coffee on arrival which is four or five times a week.

My mum has been a resident here for 2 years and I can honestly say it's been the best thing we did for her choosing Nazareth House. They are so kind, considerate and caring and always keep the family up to date with any changes in Mum's health care. Their entertainment staff do an amazing job keeping
the residents entertained and busy with so much going on every month. They issue monthly newsletters with everything that is coming up and family/friends are always welcome to join in any of the many things happening at Nazareth House. I am a big advocate for this care home and tell anyone who asks about Mum how good it is here. They have their own chapel on site, which Mum attends daily, this was a big part of Mum's life before she became unable to attend her local church so this is wonderful for Mum.
Cannot thank the staff enough for all they do for Mum, which gives us as a family peace of mind, she is safe and being well looked after at all times.

I attended a summer fare this weekend. I was very pleasantly surprised at how lovely it was. The residents and visitors really enjoyed it. The staff are so helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. Compliments to the chef who laid on some lovely food and even gave me some to take home for my tea.
I am not quite ready for a care home yet but if that time does come I choose this one.

My father received tender, compassionate nursing care throughout his three years in residence at Nazareth House. The ‘Covid’ years were particularly challenging for staff and residents; however the staff made every effort to keep morale high during this time, and since then all residents can access
the great variety of entertainment and activities that are laid on by their activities co-ordinator.
It was a great relief for my father to receive end of life care at Nazareth, rather than suffer the anxiety of being hospitalised for the last week of his life. His family will also be forever grateful for the tender care, attention and compassion the staff gave to him, my mother and myself on the last few days before his passing.

My nan has been a resident of Nazareth House for more than two years. From the moment we walked in we felt very welcome. The care for my nan has been over our expectations. The carers make sure she is always comfortable and clean (as she is bedbound) They take time out to sit and talk and make sure
she's happy, they've more than exceeded our expectations in adapting to her needs. I as a visitor always feel welcome and they keep me informed of her well-being. So glad we chose this home.

My friend was treated with kindness and respect for the three months he was a resident in Nazareth House Care Home. He was able to attend daily mass which was very important for his religious beliefs. He was encouraged to make his own choice and decisions in all aspects of his care and daily routine.
It gave him great comfort knowing he was safe and well cared for. He ended his life peacefully and with dignity. Thank you to Sister, Chaplin, Manager and all the staff for their devotion and hard work.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.919)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.919) out of 10 for Nazareth House - Birkenhead 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.919 for Nazareth House - Birkenhead is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.919

  • 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 Nazareth House - Birkenhead is based on 19 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
