About Rest Home
Southport Rest Home provides residential care in Southport for older people, including people living with dementia, along with shorter respite stays. We should be straightforward about our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, which is requires improvement. We would rather raise it ourselves than have you come across it elsewhere. We know which areas were identified and there is a programme of work in hand, with changes already made to staff supervision and training, to how care is recorded, and to how people and their families are involved in decisions. Please ask us about it directly when you visit, and we will show you where we have got to. The daily work of the home continues as it should: careful help with washing and dressing, meals cooked here, attention to nutrition, skin and mobility, safe management of medication, and time spent with people rather than only on tasks. For those living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar. Family are welcome whenever they want to come. Please visit and ask us whatever you need to ask.
