My friend was a resident from February 2023 to April 2024. When she first became a resident her mobility was not so good, she walked with a Zimmer and required someone to be with her when mobilising. The lovely long corridors for practising walking and assistance from staff resulted in her being...
Wavertree is bright and welcoming. There are lots of activities to get involved in if you wish. The catering is excellent. Residents are treated with respect by all staff. An example was when the maintenance person helped my friend to watch a video in the television room. He made sure she was comfortable whilst setting it all up, he did not say it was not his job. The reception staff in particular are very helpful to anyone who resides or visits.
The manager and deputy made it easier for me to manage my friend's affairs, in particular as I lived some distance away. We will miss Wavertree but it was time for us to move on.
Thank you very much for your lovely words Fleur. It was a real pleasure knowing you and your friend. You are both welcome to visit anytime.
I've only been here six months but it's a very nice place to be living in, the carers can't do enough for you, the food is excellent and you always have a choice of two! You can basically do what you like and at any time, i.e. if a smoker you can go downstairs and into the garden any time, night or...

Thank you for your lovely words. We try our best to ensure the home is run with the residents at the centre of all we do.

Think, on the whole, you all do an amazing job. My father is a very introverted character who is very difficult to please! His interests are many but he doesn't like the 'entertainment supplied', he prefers the old entertainment like newspaper reviews. His deafness is detrimental to socialising. He will be happier when we can visit his room and get his radio and programming TV done.
