Plessington Court

About Us

Plessington Court is a care home in Neston, Cheshire. We provide residential care for older people, including people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places.

One thing worth looking at when you visit any home is how long the staff have been there. A settled team tells you more than the state of the furnishings. People who stay learn the residents properly, notice when somebody is off colour and handle a difficult moment calmly because they have met it before. We put our effort into keeping good staff for that reason, and we would suggest asking them directly rather than asking us.

The day belongs to the residents. They choose when to get up, what to eat, where to spend their time and how much company they want. Rooms belong to the people in them, with their own furniture and pictures, and relatives visit without appointment.

For those living with dementia, we work from who the person has been rather than what they can currently manage, and families are usually the ones who can tell us that history.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.

Please come and see us if you are considering care locally, and take your time over the decision.
