About Whitestone Lodge
At Whitestone Lodge, we provide residential and dementia care for older people in the heart of Knowsley, Liverpool. We also offer respite care for those who need short term support, whether that is to give a family carer a break or to help someone recover after a period of illness. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family will make, and we do not take that lightly. Our team works hard to understand each resident as an individual, learning about their history, their preferences and the things that matter most to them in daily life. Care plans are built around the person, not the other way around. For residents living with dementia, we try to create an environment that feels calm, familiar and safe. We pay attention to the small things, routines, familiar faces, meaningful activity, because we know how much those details can affect someone's sense of wellbeing. We want to be straightforward with people who are considering Whitestone Lodge. Our most recent CQC rating is requires improvement, and we take that seriously. We have been working through the feedback and making real changes to the way we operate. We would rather be honest about where we are than gloss over it, and we are committed to demonstrating progress through our actions. Families are always welcome to visit, ask questions and stay involved in their loved one's care. We believe good care happens in partnership with the people who know residents best. If you would like to find out more about life at Whitestone Lodge or arrange a visit, please do get in touch. We are happy to talk things through and help you work out whether we might be the right fit for your family.
