Home from Home Approach
Birtley strives to help everyone who lives here to feel that they have simply moved home, rather than moved into a Home. People often comment that the warm, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere at Birtley House is very different from other care homes they have visited.
“..… a place where she has found great peace and happiness, a home which truly is, for her, a real and much-loved home.”
Numerous Residents’ relatives mention that the ‘home from home’ feeling is one of the most important aspects of the Birtley House ethos, where both Residents and their relatives enjoy the feeling of being part of a big family.
Birtley House’s greatest asset remains the continuity of the Whalley family’s active involvement, which now spans 90 years and four generations, together with their determination to offer individual care in a warm and welcoming environment.
The ‘family home’ atmosphere has always been a key factor in the popularity of Birtley. Some Residents who are now moving in, remember generations of their own family living at Birtley, their parents and even grandparents! The continuity here provides a sense of security for the Resident and their families, as they can be sure of the type of experience they can expect from living at Birtley House.
