About St Nicholas Care Home

St Nicholas Care Home in Bootle is a nursing home, with qualified nurses on duty at all times. We care for older people, and our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss. Respite stays are part of what we do. People usually come to us when health needs have grown beyond what support at home or a residential home can meet. Nursing here means consistent attention to the things that keep a person comfortable and well: medicines, mobility, nutrition and hydration, skin, continence and pain, reviewed properly and talked through with the person and their family rather than handled quietly in the background. Supporting such a range of needs well means not treating everyone the same. An older person living with dementia and somebody with a learning disability want very different days, and our job is to find out what each wants. Where somebody communicates differently, learning how is part of the work and we record what we learn. Around the clinical care, ordinary life carries on. People rise when they wake, keep their own belongings about them, choose where to spend the day and eat food that suits their taste. Where there is sensory loss we attend to lighting, contrast and working hearing aids. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
