About Ivy Gate Lodge
Ivy Gate Lodge supports older people and younger adults with residential and nursing care, including dementia, palliative and respite support. Tailored care plans are reviewed as needs change, with private bedrooms, many offering en-suite facilities and access to patios or gardens.
Daily life includes activities seven days a week, private gardens, lounges, a bistro and trips out. Families can arrange a tour, while prospective residents may request a four-week trial stay. Respite care can support recovery after illness, injury or surgery, or provide a break for a full-time carer. The home offers four-week trial stays before a permanent decision.

How much does Ivy Gate Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ivy Gate Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sefton council paid on average £944 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.
