About Elderholme

Elderholme Nursing Home was started in 1986 in response to an increasing need for care and nursing facilities in the Wirral, particularly those reliant on local authority funding. The main aim of the charity was, and still is, to provide high quality professional nursing care within a home-like environment. We continually strive to maintain a balance of creating a homely, family atmosphere with upholding a high level of nursing and medical care for all our residents.

Initially funded by the local health authority, the charity purchased the land and building in 1996, giving directors and trustees the freedom to operate as an independent non-profit charity, allowing them to invest fully in enhancing facilities and increased staff training.

Since then, we continue to build on our reputation for providing affordable high quality nursing care within a caring, compassionate environment, for local authority funded and privately funded residents.

Our key focus is to ensure that not only are our residents’ care needs fully met, but also their wellbeing as individuals within our home.

We maintain high staffing levels to provide a professional, caring service in a calm, friendly atmosphere.

As an independent, non-profit, charity-run nursing home we are able to commit to ongoing investment in enhanced services, facilities and staff development, making us one of the most well regarded nursing homes in the West Cheshire and Merseyside region.

Investing in our people

We know that our staff are equally valued as part of the Elderholme family, by us and our residents, which is why we aim to equip our team with up-to-date training and reward them with attractive salary and working conditions.

We are lucky to have such a dedicated team, many of whom have been with us for a long time, giving us and our residents a consistent high standard of care.

How long have you worked for Elderholme? 20 years! When I was a little girl, around 10 years old. I saw a picture of a nurse in a book, and it jumped out at me. I knew from that moment what I wanted to be as I grew up and I have no regrets. I have always wanted to care for sick people and to make them feel comfortable. Best thing about your job? The training and development, I enjoy the fact that you can do what you have been trained to do. There is loyalty within the company. What is the best thing about working for Elderholme? Training on the job and being given the opportunity to practice what you have learnt. The people work as a team and there is a level of trust.

I have written and published two books called ‘More Words for Wise Women’ and ‘More words for wise women’. How do you spend your free time?
