My mother spent two weeks in Wavertree House while her toilet was replaced at home. I was very happy with her stay. Overall it was a positive experience; nothing was too much trouble for the very pleasant staff; her room was spotlessly clean, warm and had a lovely view over the garden. She particularly enjoyed having an assisted bath, complete with coloured highlights! Her only complaint was in relation to meals arriving at unpredictable times and sometimes cold, but the regular tea and coffee trolley with biscuits and sometimes homemade cake was a delight. Having a kitchenette also helped her to feel independent, and being able to get her hair cut was a bonus.
Everyone here is very friendly and helpful.

Mum has been here since February 2025 and has received excellent care; particularly as her needs have increased significantly since she arrived. Staff are kind and caring, and try very hard to keep residents comfortable and content.

We love that there are flats here and not just rooms. My lady wanted a separate bedroom and sitting room as well as a small kitchen and bathroom. The care here we have found so much better than the previous two care homes she tried. The residents here are treated so kindly and with a lot of respect. She has never said anything that has worried us since moving here. Everyone has treated us kindly as well and we couldn't be happier.
Since my stay at Wavertree House, I have been very comfortable and treated well. My room is always clean and warm and the staff friendly and helpful.
