About Ellerslie Court
Ellerslie Court in Southport is a residential care home caring for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia. Our aim is a home where people are known properly rather than simply looked after. That takes staff who stay long enough to learn somebody's history, habits and preferences, and care planned with the person rather than written about them. Help is given with washing and dressing, with moving about safely, with medication and with eating and drinking well, and it is given without hurry. For those living with dementia we keep routines steady and surroundings familiar, adjust how we communicate rather than expecting the person to adjust to us, and pay attention to what somebody is telling us when words have become unreliable. Families usually know a great deal about what works, so we ask them and we listen. The home is somewhere people live. Rooms are personalised, meals are cooked here with a genuine choice, there is company for those who want it and quiet for those who do not, and visitors are welcome without ceremony. Respite and short stays can be arranged. If you would like to look round, please telephone us and we will arrange a time.
