Position Overview & Specifications
Birkdale Village Care Home is a residential home for the over 60s with a 20 bed capacity that has been established for over 25 years.
The priority is for residents to feel supported and to create a happy and homely environment, thus the care home maintains an open door policy for residents’ friends and families.
All our rooms are furnished, 12 are en-suite, and we have a cosy lounge and dining area. There is also a nurse call bell system located throughout the home.
Due to the smaller size of the home we believe our carers can build closer relationships with our residents and cater for their needs on a more personal level.
