About Sandrock Nursing Home
We at Sandrock Nursing Home offer nursing care for older people in the heart of Wallasey, providing a supportive base for families across the Wirral who are seeking specialist residential support for a loved one. Our home is situated within the CH postcode area of Wallasey, giving residents the benefit of a familiar local setting whilst remaining well connected to the wider community of the Wirral and the North West. The surroundings are intended to feel welcoming and homely, offering a calm environment where residents can settle, relax and feel part of daily life. As a dedicated nursing home, we care for older people who require ongoing clinical support, including those living with dementia. Our nursing provision means that qualified staff are on hand around the clock to support residents with complex health needs, medication and personal care. For families, this offers reassurance that their relative has access to skilled care without the disruption of frequent hospital visits or transfers. Our dementia care is centred on understanding each person as an individual, taking time to learn their history, preferences and routines so that daily life feels familiar and comforting, even when memory becomes uncertain. We also welcome residents for respite care, offering short stays that can provide vital relief for family carers or a period of recuperation following illness or hospital admission. Respite guests receive the same warm welcome and attentive care as our permanent residents, and many families find that a short stay helps them consider longer term options with greater clarity. We believe openness matters, and so we want to be transparent about our current standing with the Care Quality Commission. Following the inspection carried out on 29 September 2025, Sandrock Nursing Home received an overall rating of Inadequate. The CQC rated us as Inadequate under the Safe and Well led domains, and as Requires Improvement under the Effective, Caring and Responsive domains. We fully acknowledge these findings and recognise the concerns they raise for residents, relatives and prospective families. A rating of this nature is not one we accept lightly, and our team is committed to working closely with the CQC, local authority partners and healthcare professionals to make the improvements required. We understand that trust must be earned and rebuilt through consistent, meaningful action, and we are focused on strengthening safety, leadership and the everyday experience of those in our care. If you are exploring nursing, dementia or respite care in Wallasey or the wider Wirral, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you honestly about our home, the steps we are taking to improve and how we might support your loved one. Choosing care is a deeply personal decision, and we are here to listen, answer your questions and help you make the choice that feels right for your family.
