Care home in Wallasey

Snowdrop Unit supports adults living with complex clinical needs requiring ongoing, coordinated care.

With two Registered Nurses on duty during the day and one at night, we provide high-level nursing care - often supporting people who have transitioned from hospital or are living with the advanced stages of conditions like Huntington’s disease or Parkinson’s.

Most people here have a primary neurological condition and co-occurring health needs such as diabetes, dysphagia, epilepsy, respiratory conditions, and/or require interventions like catheters, CPAP, PEGs, tracheostomies, and ventilators.

Care also includes regular repositioning, skin integrity checks, and close monitoring to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and promote comfort and health.

Two bedrooms are equipped with ceiling track hoists for bariatric care.

This approach goes beyond standard residential or nursing care, offering a clinical yet engaging environment where people can live well, participate in meaningful activity, and maintain quality of life.

For those with progressive conditions, we support advanced care planning to ensure people’s wishes for end-of-life care are known and respected.

Daffodil Unit is a female-only unit for older adults living with a primary diagnosis of dementia who present with behaviours of concern.

The team includes General and Mental Health Nurses, enabling us to support both mental and physical health needs - including support with catheters and nasogastric tubes - that are beyond the scope of mainstream care providers.

The environment is thoughtfully designed in line with the University of Stirling’s ‘Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Assessment Tool (EADDAT),’ creating a space that promotes comfort, independence, and overall wellbeing.

As dementia progresses, we provide person-led advanced care planning, along with palliative and end-of-life care to ensure dignity, comfort, and continuity.

Iris Unit is a male-only environment for younger working-age adults living with neurological or mental health conditions such as acquired brain injury, dementia, or stroke - and who present with behaviours of concern.

The team, including Learning Disability and Mental Health Nurses, provides structured, evidence-based behavioural support.

This includes functional assessments, personalised support plans, proactive strategies, skill development, and safe reactive responses - all underpinned by our Exemplar Positive Behaviour Support approach.

We provide individualised staffing and observation levels, including 1:1 or 2:1 support when needed - for example, during personal care that may involve restrictive physical intervention.

Over time, we often see a reduction in behaviours and observation needs as people settle into a consistent, person-centred routine.

Many people also have co-occurring, medium to low-level physical health needs, which we manage as part of our integrated approach.
