About Ferndale Mews

Ferndale Mews is a nursing home in Widnes, Halton. We provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs mean that qualified nurses should be available at any hour. The people who live here have a broad range of needs. Many are living with dementia, some are managing mental health conditions, and many have physical disabilities or sight and hearing loss. That mix asks a lot of a team, and it is why we plan around individuals. What someone needs clinically is only part of the picture. How they communicate, what settles them, what they like to eat and when they prefer to sleep all belong in the plan too. We work closely with GPs, community teams, therapists and hospital specialists so that treatment is prompt and people are not moved about more than necessary. Families are kept informed, and their knowledge of the person shapes how we care for them. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break and for people who require nursing support for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Choosing nursing care is rarely straightforward. Please ring us or call in, and we will show you round and answer your questions honestly.
