About Beechcroft
Beechcroft provides nursing, residential and dementia care for up to 43 people, with both long-term and respite periods available. The home is registered for older people, dementia, physical disabilities and younger adults, making its care scope broader than a single age group.
Meals are prepared using fresh, locally sourced produce, with seasonal menus, nutritional balance and a choice of options at mealtimes. A dedicated activities coordinator organises monthly events and meaningful sessions, while residents’ preferences are respected when choosing whether to participate. The home also supports visits from hairdressers, barbers and chiropodists, and can arrange dental visits and eye tests in the home.

Questions families ask
Is a doctor available at all times?
Yes. They have access to GPs at all times, and the homes are accessible by ambulance for emergencies, with hospitals nearby.
Can residents keep their own GP?
Yes, provided the existing GP practice is willing to travel to the home. Otherwise, residents can register with nearby GP practices.
What activities are available for residents?
They organise a monthly programme of enriching activities, led by a dedicated activities coordinator. Sessions can include entertainers, musicians, keep-fit activities and social events.
Does each resident have an individual care plan?
Yes. They create a comprehensive plan reflecting each resident's needs, share it with relatives and update it regularly. Each resident also has a named key worker.
Are residents' food preferences considered?
Yes. They consider residents' preferences when planning menus and provide choices at every mealtime. Residents can also give feedback at regular meetings.
How much does Beechcroft cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Beechcroft for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wirral council paid on average £819 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
