My mum was a resident at Wavertree House from February 2020 until she passed away in December. I found arranging for a parent to go into a care setting for the first time a big responsibility and I am certain it was a daunting prospect for her at the age of 97. When I visited Wavertree to look round and talk to the team, I felt straight away Mum would be properly cared for in a comfortable environment and so it proved. Mum said frequently how well she was looked after and enjoyed the various activities the team arranged. Although the restrictions in place due to COVID19 meant things had to be done differently they took great pains to enable the family to keep in contact. I am glad to say I was able to be with Mum when the time came and I am grateful for that as I know she was aware I was there. The team always treated her with kindness, consideration and affection so my view of Wavertree is a very positive one.
Thank you so much for your review, it was a pleasure to look after Mum, and to meet yourself and your brother. I hope to welcome you all back in the summer if all is well in the world of Covid for a BBQ.
Wavertree was recommended by a paramedic after my Nan had a fall. When paramedics recommend a home that can only be a good sign. From being shown around the home I instantly had a good feeling.

Wavertree was recommended by a paramedic after my Nan had a fall. When paramedics recommend a home that can only be a good sign. From being shown around the home I instantly had a good feeling. I think what sets this home above others is the staff. The care they give, often above and beyond what is expected of them, is wonderful. I can’t remember seeing agency staff. The staff were always welcoming and knew my Nan so well. During the lockdown, they made sure she still got her hair done by colouring it themselves. They sang with her, did her makeup and encouraged her to join in with activities. She had a lovely room on the ground floor which they helped make feel like home. In fact, my Nan thought she’d got herself a nice new flat. Sadly my Nan passed away in the summer but the end of life care we witnessed and experienced was second to none. She was treated with the utmost dignity up until the very end and beyond. I miss my Wavertree family and cannot recommend this home highly enough.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review; it was a pleasure to be part of your journey, we miss nan too. I hope when things calm down you will be able to visit us.
