About Safespaces For Women
We are Safespaces For Women, a nursing home in Ellesmere Port. As our name says, this is a setting for women, and having qualified nurses on duty means we can care for people whose health needs go beyond what a residential home can safely manage. We care for older women who need nursing support, and we support women living with mental ill health, including younger adults, working closely with the community mental health teams involved in their care. Respite stays are available for those who need nursing care for a limited period. A single sex setting is not a detail here, it is the point. For some women, particularly those who have had difficult experiences, a place where they are not sharing living space with men is what makes settling possible at all. We try to make the most of that: a calm environment, predictable routines, staff who take the time to understand what somebody needs in order to feel safe, and care given in a way that protects dignity and privacy. Clinically our attention goes where it counts: medication, skin integrity, nutrition and hydration, pain, safe moving and handling, and acting early when a condition changes. We are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission. If you are a family member or a professional considering a placement, please get in touch and come and see the home.
