Put simply, we cannot thank the staff at Safe Harbour enough for putting the smile back on Mums face and the sparkle back in her eyes!
We didn't know where to turn with her in in the months before she secured her place at the home, she had been at a loss for many years, she was very down, very lonely,
but not necessarily alone and having been diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's, her mood was spiralling rapidly. We were all obviously apprehensive taking the leap into residential care, but Mum had gotten to the point of no return, she was no longer taking care of herself, and we were concerned for her safety. Safe Harbour has worked miracles with her! She is always laughing, she is eating better than she ever has. The genuine love and care she receives from everyone at the home are obvious, and as I mentioned before, she is shining again. It is just wonderful to see her personality shining through. Particularly through this awful year, we are eternally grateful, we know she is safe and happy!

Reply from Holly Dooley, HR Manager at Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington

This is a lovely review; thank you for taking the time to write it for our team to see. Mum is a joy to be around and enjoys her days here with us. Although she misses you all greatly, she often comments on how she enjoys being with us, and particularly, how she likes keeping our registered manager in line! haha. We're so glad that you as a family are happy with Safe Harbour and all we do. Thanks for the support.

Safe Harbour has been a safe haven for my mother. Since moving there just over 12-months ago, she has improved in many aspects including her mood and health. She is happy, and we as a family have seen a massive difference in her for the better. All of the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure
my mother is safe, cared for and loved. From management to the kitchen staff, everybody has had some input into making my mother comfortable. We have been informed and kept up to date with any changes to legislation, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic. Safe Harbour is clean and friendly, and I would recommend them 100% to anyone having to make the difficult decision for their loved one. Safe Harbour is definitely a care home where my mother is cared for and feels completely at home.

Reply from Holly Dooley, HR Manager at Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We really appreciate this lovely feedback for our home, particularly noting the pandemic which has been very trying for us all. We love Mum and she has such fun with us, getting involved in all activities which is lovely to see. Thank you for your continued support.

My mum has been at Safe Harbour for four and a half years - I think this speaks for itself! She has obviously been very well cared for by the staff who are great. They know my mum's personality and needs well - her likes and dislikes and find ways of engaging her with all sorts of activities and entertainment
whilst also ensuring she has quiet time to herself when she wants it.
They post lots of pictures on Facebook, and everyone looks happy and enjoying themselves, which I also see when we are able to visit. I would definitely recommend Safe Harbour.

Reply from Holly Dooley, HR Manager at Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're glad you are happy with Mum's care, and Mum is certainly happy with us here. I'm also glad the Facebook page is enjoyed as it takes work, but I also feel it is important to show family and friends what we're doing throughout the week, especially in times such as these.
Thank you so much for your support - it is greatly appreciated.

Since my mother has been in Safe Harbour, I have had complete peace of mind. It’s not your average home, it’s more like a family house. Until the lockdown, I was a regular visitor to the home, I’ve been at various times of the day, and it never changes. The staff must have been sent there from up above,
I kid you not. They have tolerated my obsession with fussing about my mum's wardrobe, Never have they queried it. Their kindness is just amazing. I don’t worry about mum because she is in such good hands. There was one particular day when I was sat with mum in her room (she was quite poorly) I was crying quietly to my self when I found myself surrounded by two members of staff just hugging me and crying with me. I won’t name them as you asked not to mention names. I will never forget that. So on the whole of Safe Harbour is a wonderful home. I would recommend it to anybody who has to pop their mums or dads into care. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Reply from Kevin Butterworth, Home Manager at Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington

Wow. What a lovely response. Thanks so much for your kind words and continued support. We love having Mum here and you have been very kind and generous with us from the moment you came here. It is so lovely to have such positive feedback. I completely agree, we are a family here, that goes to our ladies and gents, our relatives and our staff. Thanks very much.

While we have not been able to visit during the pandemic we rest easy knowing Mum is being cared for with all her needs met. The team is led by a manager who

My Dad has been at Safe Harbour for nearly a year. During that time my mum passed away. The staff were absolutely brilliant in supporting my dad and the family during this sad time. Whilst my dad found it difficult at first to settle in, sometimes doing things he shouldn't have done (the staff will
know what I am alluding to and laugh about it now) the staff have always treated him with respect and compassion and continue to do so during these difficult times. We are happy to say that Dad is well, safe and in an extremely caring environment. We will be outside Safe Harbour in the car park again this week to clap for all carers. Thank you and God bless you all.

Thanks for your review, it is very much appreciated especially in this current pandemic where we need a bit of a boost. Dad is most definitely settled here and enjoys his time. We are glad we were able to help your family during such a difficult time. Take Care.

My father has been a resident at Safe Harbour for over 18-months now, and the family are extremely happy with the standard of care that he receives. The staff are amazing, and each resident is treated as an individual and with dignity. The activities are fabulous and stimulating with staff specifically
employed for this purpose. I have visited other homes, and my father has previously resided in a different care home, but we are happy that we chose Safe Harbour as Dad is happier here and likes to participate in all that Safe Harbour has to offer.

My mum was at Safe Harbour for 4 years before passing away in January 2020. During her time there mum always seemed happy and contented, the staff were really lovely couldn't do enough for her and the other residents. There were always lots of activities to keep the residents busy and stimulated with
music, art and exercise classes to only name a few. The home was always clean and tidy. if I ever needed to discuss anything with either staff or management they always made the time to be available and listen. I would definitely recommend Safe Harbour 100%!

The staff here, on the whole, are excellent with one or two exceptions.
The reason for a lesser mark regarding activities is only because the residents are unable to appreciate their efforts.
The facilities lacking aesthetics is overlooked because of the excellent care and attention. My husband's
room is very shabby and in need of refurbishment but very clean.

Reply from Kevin Butterworth, Home Manager at Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington

Thanks for the review. We appreciate there are areas of the home that need decoration. At the moment every corridor is being painted and artwork has been purchased. We do have an excellent team of staff, thank you for saying so, the activities are working hard to ensure everyone is involved, but as you can appreciate not every person is able to do every activity and that is why we have one to one activities. We are constantly looking at new ideas and hope for relative suggestions.
Thank you

My mother has been a resident at Safe Harbour for 10 months. I can honestly say that we could not have chosen a better home for her and I am safe in the knowledge that she has the very best of care both physically and mentally. Having a relative with dementia can be very difficult and upsetting but
at Safe Harbour, there is a close bond between management, carers, relatives and residents which has given my family tremendous comfort and support.
I would not hesitate in recommending Safe Harbour for a loved one. It is truly a caring care home.

My family member used to live here and I must say the care I can't fault but there is a lot of agency carers in the home. My family member was on the nursing unit. I did have a couple of disagreements with the management over the number of agency carers there were and they told me it wasn't an issue
for myself to get involved in, I think they are very rude, but as I say the care my family member recieved was great, oh and the cost of the care my family member recieved kept increasing year after year so we moved them to a different care home on the Wirral and I cant fault it there, great management great carers and respect for the family of the resident.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.846 for Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is calculated as follows: ( (182 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.846

  • 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 Safe Harbour Dementia Care Home Bebington is based on 18 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
