About
Derwent Lodge Nursing Home is a 46-bed home on the Wirral, providing nursing care and support for people living with dementia. It stands on the bank of the River Mersey. The ground-floor lounge has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river towards the Liverpool skyline, and a small ramped patio opens from it. A larger garden patio lies to the rear, and a smaller lounge is available for families who want more private time or a gathering.
Residents are encouraged to personalise their bedrooms, and families are invited to take part in daily life and the home's social calendar. All staff are trained in dementia and end-of-life care. Activities are shaped through consultation with residents and change monthly to suit the seasons and their wishes. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2025 report, with Good ratings across all five key questions.
