About Locharwoods Care Home

Locharwoods Care Home is in Liverpool, offering a settled and comfortable home for older people who find that living alone has become difficult. We think of this as a home before anything else. People choose when they get up, where they sit, what they eat and how they spend the day. Care is given quietly, with proper regard for privacy and dignity, and we support people to carry on doing whatever they can still manage for themselves, because independence quietly taken over is very hard to get back. Staff here know everybody well, including the things that never appear in a care plan: who likes an early start, who would rather have breakfast in their own room, who wants the company of the lounge and who would sooner have their own peace. That familiarity, more than any policy, is what makes an ordinary day here feel ordinary. Families are part of the household. Visitors are welcome whenever suits them, we keep relatives properly informed, and we would far rather a worry was raised with us early than sat on. Respite stays are available as well, for people needing support after illness or a hospital admission and for families who care for a relative at home and need a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at homes in the area, please come and see us and make up your own mind.
