About Mother Red Caps Home
We are a nursing home in Wallasey, caring for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing support, including people living with dementia, people with mental health needs and people with physical disabilities. We should be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around that. The inspection identified areas that were not good enough, we accept those findings, and we are working through an improvement plan covering staffing, training, record keeping and the way care is reviewed. Our progress is being monitored, and we would far rather set this out ourselves than have a family discover it later. Meanwhile the work of the home carries on. Nurses are on duty at all hours, which means health needs are watched continually and we can manage conditions here that would otherwise mean a hospital journey. Our team support people with personal care, medicines, mobility, nutrition and the practical parts of the day. For those living with dementia we keep routines steady and surroundings familiar, and we look for the cause behind distress rather than simply responding to it. Respite stays are available for people recovering after illness and for family carers needing a break. If you are considering the home, please visit, ask us direct questions about the inspection and what has changed since, and speak to families who already know us.
