About Birkdale Park Nursing Home
Birkdale Park Nursing Home is a nursing home in Southport, in the borough of Sefton. We care for older people and for younger adults who need nursing support, we support people living with dementia, and we take respite bookings for people who need a stay of weeks rather than years. Nursing cover is here at all hours, which means health needs can be looked after properly on site and people are not moved on as their conditions change. Just as important, our care staff know the people living here as individuals. They know who likes the television on in the morning, who wants their door left ajar at night, and who needs coaxing rather than asking. For people living with dementia we keep routines familiar and surroundings calm, and we learn what someone's own history is so that conversation has something to hold on to. For everyone, we try to make sure the day contains something worth getting up for, whether that is the garden, a visitor, music or simply good company. Southport families are welcome whenever they can come, and we would rather have an awkward conversation early than a formal complaint later. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are considering nursing care locally, come and look round, meet the team and ask whatever you need to.
