No longer coping at home

A residential care home provides accommodation, meals and personal care for older people, people with disabilities, or people who are unable to manage at home, for whatever reason.  

Respite in residential or nursing homes allow you and your carer to take a break while, hopefully, helping you to live independently in your own home for longer.  

For information about important changes to the way Respite and Residential Care are provided by Wirral Council, visit the ‘Respite Homes’ section of this website. 

Extra Care Housing provides people, over the age of 55, with independence, security, privacy and control in their own home. 

Supported and Sheltered Housing aims to to develop and sustain a person's capacity to live independently.
