If you are looking for a care home in St.Helens, The Waterside Care home is going to be hard to beat.
All the staff are lovely and they have the residents needs as their top priority.Whether it's discussing health concerns or the daily menu the staff are always providing their very best.
The dining area always has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very attentive.
The building is beautiful with the added benefit of a lovely café area for residents and non residents and a lovely communal lounge overlooking the lake.The landscaped gardens also provide a place to sit and contemplate or for relatives and friends to meet when visiting.
I think the ambience of the home is very important to the well being of the resident and The Waterside doesn't disappoint in this regard with lots of natural light to lift the spirits.
The residents genuinely look very very happy and that is what counts.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback. . Our team works incredibly hard to provide professional, friendly and compassionate support, so your comments mean a great deal to everyone here.

Mum has settled well into her new home and this is down to the wonderful, hard working and dedicated staff, which are extremely well led by the management team. There is always a warm welcome when we visit mum and we always find mum happy and enjoying her day. Mum finds her room comfortable and enjoys her meals and snacks throughout the day. We all enjoy going downstairs to the cafe area and enjoying a drink together, in comfort and meeting other residents families. There is always a lovely ambience. Mum also enjoys sitting within the lounge area which has a lovely view of the lake. Sometimes the garden area is her choice which has comfortable seating. A settled, happy mum takes a lot of stress and worry from us as a family. We can only thank everyone at the Waterside for this.
Thank you for such a wonderful review, this bought our team so much joy to read that your mum is settled and happy. It is absolutely our pleasure to provide the comfortable and ambient atmosphere that we work so hard to upkeep. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review we will be sure to pass your kind words on to the staff.
I was very impressed with the overall atmosphere and the quality of the service provided. The resident's room was very comfortable, and had a lovely view towards the lakes. Top marks to the staff who were helpful and supportive.

My mum recently died having spent the last 10 months of her life at Waterside St Helens. She was 3 weeks shot of her 95th birthday and her mobility was very poor - so it was not a surprise, and she chose not to be admitted to hospital. The 'end of life' care at the home was excellent. She was treated with care, compassion _ kindness from all members of the team - from nurses to cleaners - they literally couldn't do enough for her. She passed away peacefully + painlessly with family present. You staff are your greatest asset. Treat them well.

My uncle needed a respite care home from Sept 2025 and then became a permanent resident from 1st November 2025. From Michelle's initial first home visit up to today, I cannot tell you enough just how fantastic the whole team have been. Paula the manager is always happy and answers any questions...
My uncle needed a respite care home from Sept 2025 and then became a permanent resident from 1st November 2025. From Michelle's initial first home visit up to today, I cannot tell you enough just how fantastic the whole team have been. Paula the manager is always happy and answers any questions or concerns we have and resolves them immediately. Uncle Ken is fully settled in now and even after a couple of medical issues when we had to be at Waterside in the middle of the night, every single member of staff has been fantastic to us but most importantly to Uncle Ken. The activities and day trips are brilliant, the updates on social media are so regular and lovely to see all the residents having fun and happy times. I can't recommend Waterside Care home enough. Nothing is too much for anyone who works at Waterside. It's a very hard decision to move a very loved member of the family into care, but Waterside have held our hand throughout the process. Thank you for looking after Uncle Ken.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our care home. I will share your lovely comments with all of the team.
When my widowed sister was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer's Dementia we realised that she could no longer live alone and long term continuous care was needed. We contacted Waterside Care Home and were able to view the premises on the following day. We were made very welcome and given...
The building is well laid out and has many communal areas and dining rooms on each floor. The residents' private rooms are furnished to a high standard and have excellent en-suite bathrooms. We were impressed by the comprehensive arrangements in place to ensure that residents were safe at all times and the extensive programme of activities provided to occupy their time.
We arranged for the Care Home manager to visit my sister at home to discuss in more detail her moving into the home as a long term resident. The meeting took place within a few days and a date was agreed for my sister to move to Waterside. This whole process took only one week and my sister is now happily settled at Waterside.
Thank you so much for your lovely review of our care home, I will share your comments with the whole team.

The staff consistently demonstrate an attentive approach to her care that goes far beyond routine duties. Every interaction, whether it's helping her with daily tasks, offering a kind word, or simply taking the time to listen, reflects a genuine commitment to her wellbeing.
What stands out most is the team's compassionate professionalism. They notice the small things, respond quickly to any concerns, and treat our mother with dignity and warmth.
The environment they create is one of comfort and trust, and knowing she is surrounded by people who truly care gives us immense peace of mind. We are deeply grateful for the team's dedication, patience, and kindness.

I visited my brother at The Waterside Care Home in May, and found everything about it excellent. Even though it wasn't long open, they didn't experience any teething problems, which was fantastic. Long may the excellent care continue and I wish staff and residents all the best in the future.

My name is Janet, and I'm the Head Housekeeper here at The Waterside Care Home.
I've worked in housekeeping for over four years across a range of settings, including care homes, hotels, hostels and apartments. I joined The Waterside six months ago and was recently promoted to Head Housekeeper – an achievement I'm really proud of.
I've absolutely loved my time here and look forward to continuing to be part of this wonderful team.

My name is Rob, and I'm the Maintenance Manager here at The Waterside Care Home.
After leaving school, I was fortunate to work alongside my father and learn many skills in the joinery and building industry. In 2012, I moved into the care sector and instantly knew I'd made the right decision – the variety within the role is something I really enjoy.
I've been at The Waterside since March, when the home was still under construction, and I've become very attached to both the building and our lovely residents.
I have one saying in life: if you enjoy what you're doing, you've never worked a day in your life.
