About Us

Melrose Court Rest Home on Cambridge Road in Southport is a residential care home for older people.

We do one thing and we try to do it properly. Residential care for older people who can no longer manage at home, in a house where the day belongs to the people living in it. Nobody is woken to suit a rota. Meals are unhurried and worth turning up for. Help with washing and dressing is given in a way that protects a person's dignity, which in practice means asking before acting, explaining what we are doing, and leaving people to do for themselves whatever they still can.

We also take seriously the parts of the day that are not care tasks at all. Company when it is wanted and solitude when it is not. Visitors welcomed at hours that suit them rather than us. Fresh air and a change of scene when the weather allows.

Respite stays are available as well as permanent places.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit before deciding anything.
