About Montgomery Care Home

Montgomery is a residential care home in Knowsley, near Liverpool. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and respite stays are part of what we do. We concentrate on comfort and reliability rather than extras. Good food, warmth, prompt assistance, and real privacy. Dementia care here rests on knowing people. We ask relatives early for the history, the working life and the names, because those are what still connect when a great deal else has slipped, and without them we would be managing a condition rather than keeping company with a person. We also pay attention to the things easy to let slide: clean spectacles, working hearing aids, a favourite cardigan coming back from the wash. Neglect shows up there first. We work hard at keeping the same staff on the same shifts, because familiarity does more for people here than almost anything else we could arrange. We are honest about what we cannot do. If somebody's needs would be better met elsewhere we will say so, even when it would suit us to keep them. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Relatives who visit often notice what we have stopped seeing, and we would rather they told us plainly than be polite about it.
