About Edgewater
Edgewater care home in Wallasey, Merseyside, opened in November 2022, with a ribbon cutting event hosted by the Mayor of Wirral, Jeff Green.
The home has three ten-bed communities that promote small group living and enables us to provide a homely and supportive environment that’s more responsive to individual needs.
Each unit has a dedicated Unit Manager, as well as a team of Registered Nurses and Health Care Assistants.
Our high staffing levels give you the time to provide truly person-centred care.
The home does not have the traditional ‘nursing home’ feel.
Each unit has communal dining and living spaces, including a quiet lounge, TV lounge, dedicated activities room and a sensory garden, which promotes a homely and friendly feel.
