Yes. They support residents to attend shows and concerts in Liverpool and Southport, and to visit the local village for shopping, eating and drinking with family and friends.
How much does St Joseph's Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Joseph's Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sefton council paid on average £788 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
