Lear House is a welcoming home offering residential care and respite for up to 24 older people with a range of care needs. Set in its own leafy grounds, within a quiet residential area of West Kirby, Lear House is still close enough to the centre of town to provide easy access to transport links, local shops and amenities.
There are multiple communal spaces throughout the home. Residents can enjoy the entertainment on offer in the lounge, relax with a book in the snug, meet up with friends and family in the first floor lounge or enjoy a warm afternoon in the garden room and make use of the kitchenette facilities.
The dining room, recently redecorated in a bright and colourful scheme, is where residents enjoy their daily nutritious meals prepared in-house by the chef and the team. Residents can also participate in a range of activities and entertainment such as Knit & Natter, learning French, print making, flower craft and animal visits or enjoy singing along with visiting singers and musicians on a weekly basis. The enclosed sensory garden, with its patio area and garden room, has become a popular meeting place for residents and their families when the weather gets warmer; there is always plenty to do. They also have a dedicated hair salon for visiting hairdressers, should any of the residents require a tidy up or even a restyle.
The 24 bedrooms are situated on the ground floor and first floor, with lift and/or stairlift access to the upper floor. Each room is spacious, with a pleasing outlook, and they encourage residents to add their own personal touches to help them feel more settled and at home.

From the start I have felt that Mum is treated with respect, dignity, with kindness and also good humour.
I have always found the manager and all staff very approachable.
Mum's bedroom, with ensuite facilities, is well decorated and furnished and is kept clean and tidy. The large airy sitting room has a terrace where Mum enjoys sitting on a sunny day.
Mum enjoys her meals.
The activities coordinator ensures throughout the week that there is a varied programme of activities for the residents. She actively encourages the residents to join in with these. I'm really pleased Mum takes part in these activities and on my last visit was impressed with how many crossword questions she was able to answer!
I am very happy with Mum's care at Lear House. It's a great comfort to me to know that Mum feels safe.
My mother moved into Lear House in 1984 and she was very happy enjoying 30 years until her sad death. I was extremely pleased with all aspects of the house and care my mother received and I would have no hesitation in recommending the home to anybody.

I was confident at all times with the comfort and safety of my friend and shall never forget the staff who became like a second family to us both. I cannot recommend Lear House, the manager and her wonderful staff enough.
