About Birkdale Village Care Home
Birkdale Village Care Home is a residential care home in Southport, providing older people with a comfortable place to live and support always close at hand. We try to run as a household rather than an institution, with the day shaped by the people living it. We help with personal care, medication, mobility and meals, and equally with the parts of a day that give it value. Some residents want conversation, company and plenty going on, while others would rather have their own room and a bit of peace, and both are perfectly reasonable. Rooms are personalised, relatives are welcome whenever they can come, and respite stays are available for people needing care for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Requires Improvement. We would rather put that in front of you now than leave you to find it later. We understood the findings, we have been working through them steadily, and we are happy to talk about exactly what has changed and what remains in hand. Please come and see us at an ordinary hour, talk to residents and staff, and judge the place on what you actually find rather than on what we say about ourselves.
