About Birkdale Tower Care Home
Birkdale Tower Care Home provides residential and dementia care in Southport, including support for individuals and couples. The home is part of Sandstone Care Group, whose Lancashire services also include nursing and respite care across a range of settings.
Sandstone describes its homes as modern, vibrant communities where care is shaped around residents’ needs and preferences. Birkdale Tower is presented as a comfortable retirement home, while the wider group combines residential, dementia, nursing and respite services. Families considering care can therefore explore a provider with several care types, but should distinguish Birkdale Tower’s stated residential and dementia offer from nursing services listed for other Sandstone homes.
