About Walker Lodge

Walker Lodge is a residential care home in Liverpool. We support older people needing help with daily living and people living with mental health conditions, and we also support some younger adults. Our care is the practical daily sort: help to wash and dress, medication given properly and on time, meals cooked on the premises and staff available at any hour. We try to keep the house feeling domestic. People get up when they are ready, spend the day as they choose and have visitors when they want them. Supporting people with mental health needs comes down to consistency and knowing people well. We work with the same residents over long stretches, we learn what a difficult period looks like for each person and what tends to help, and we keep close working relationships with GPs and community mental health teams so that support does not fall apart between one part of the system and another. Some of the people living here are working towards greater independence, and we plan that with them rather than for them. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families in Liverpool are welcome to visit.
