'The staff are always friendly & helpful both towards the residents and visitors. My Father says the food is excellent & all cooked on the premises using fresh meat & vegetables. He swears by the Friday fish & chips!'

'I recommend Blackrod Hs to anyone who asks me about care for an elderly relative or friend. I cannot speak highly enough of the care given to my Mum since she became a resident. It's a home from home where she receives excellent care within a friendly environment. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who treat her as part of the family.'

They looked after my mum (5 months)before sudden illness / passed away. They did brilliant job of caring my mum who diagnosed with Alzhiemers! ! Also they helped / supported me as I am profoundly deaf - they text me, informed me of everything clearly about Mum's everyday welfare / care. I would give them 100 percent caring - excellent (Blackrod Private Care Home) well done everyone!!

I have not got enough words to say how much we love Blackrod house. We were so lucky to stumble on this unique home my mum was in hospital with pneumonia and her memory was fading fast . Our dad was 91 and could not look after mum any more we tried for 2 years to support but the dreaded day came when we had to find mum a new home to be cared for . We went round a few homes and we visited Blackrod and we knew this was for us. We are so thrilled with the staff they are brilliant supportive reliable , likeable empathic and caring . They understand the needs of each person it’s not to big so everyone is looked after. They have loads of activities and really try to cater for everyone’s needs . It is life changing putting a parent in a home and guilt engulfs you but I can honestly say the whole team have been supportive to all my family and I can honestly say they have made a family and friends very happy. Thank you for making our mum and very happy
