Questions families ask
Do residents need contents insurance for personal belongings?
Suitable contents insurance is strongly recommended when residents bring furniture or personal belongings, as the home cannot generally accept responsibility for loss or damage.
Do visitors need to book a care home viewing?
Booking ahead is advisable so staff are available to provide a tour and the information needed to assess the home.
Can residents bring their own furniture?
Yes. Small items such as a favourite armchair and treasured belongings can be brought in. Electrical items are PAT tested and furniture undergoes a fire risk assessment.
Do they provide nursing dementia care?
Yes. County Homes is a purpose-built care home with 82 beds offering nursing dementia care.
How much does County Homes cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask County Homes 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.
