About St Patricks Care Home

St Patricks Care Home is a nursing home in Widnes. We care for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing alongside everyday support, and we do a great deal of work with residents living with dementia. Respite stays are available too. Registered nurses are on site around the clock, so medication, wound and pressure care and changing health needs are managed here rather than becoming a reason for another move. Nursing is the foundation of what we do and not the point of it. A good day here is measured by whether somebody got up when they wanted, ate something they enjoyed, had their own things around them and had a conversation about something other than their health. For residents living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar, and we ask families for the life history that helps us reach the person. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather state that here than have a family come across it later. There is an agreed plan for the areas identified, we are working through it, and anyone considering us should ask us directly what has changed and what has not yet.
