About Good Companions EMI Residential Care Home
Good Companions EMI Residential Care Home is in Southport. We provide residential care to older people whose needs include dementia and mental ill health, and we also support younger adults. Respite stays are available too. Caring well for people whose difficulties include confusion, memory loss or mental distress is a particular job, and we have built the house around it rather than treating it as an extra. The day follows a recognisable pattern so that people are not constantly working out what is happening. The same familiar staff are around, because a known face settles somebody faster than any explanation. People keep their own belongings and habits, and where somebody is anxious, or looking for a person who is no longer alive, we stay with them and go at their pace rather than correcting them. We work closely with community mental health colleagues so that what happens here fits with the rest of a person's care. We also support people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and adults recovering from eating disorders. Food is cooked here and people are asked what they would like, and visitors are welcome without appointment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit.
