About Margaret Roper House
Margaret Roper House is a nursing home in Southport providing nursing care for adults living with mental ill health. We support younger adults and older people, and we can offer respite stays. We want to be open about our regulatory position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have accepted the findings, we are working through an improvement plan and we have made changes to training, supervision and the way we review our own practice. Anyone considering a placement here should ask us about it directly, and we will answer. The work of the home continues meanwhile. Many of the people who come to us have had long and difficult experiences of services, and some arrive after a hospital admission or a period when things had become unmanageable. Our first task is usually to help somebody feel settled and safe. After that, progress tends to come in small steps: a routine that holds, medication managed well, and staff who do not change every few weeks. We work alongside community mental health teams, GPs and, where the person wishes, their family. If you are a professional considering a referral, or a family looking at options in Southport, please contact us and come and see the home for yourself.
