About Merlin House (ECHO)

Merlin House is a nursing home in Crewe. Having qualified nurses on duty means we can care for people whose health needs go beyond what a residential home can safely manage, and it usually means somebody can stay with us as their needs increase rather than facing another move. We care for older people who need nursing support, and we also support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults whose health needs are complex. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a limited period. Clinically our attention goes where it counts: medication, skin integrity, nutrition and hydration, pain, safe moving and handling, and acting early when a condition is changing. Where somebody has a learning disability or is autistic, we take particular care to learn how they show discomfort or distress, because that is often how a change in health first appears. Where physical disability is part of the picture, equipment, seating, positioning and transfers get close attention. Beyond the clinical side, this is where people live. Residents keep their own rooms and their own things, choose when to get up and what to eat, and can have company or quiet as they prefer. We are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Please arrange to visit.
