The Abbeyfield Heswall Society provides housing and support for older people in Heswall. We manage three houses in Heswall these being:

Sheltered:

Allandale, Farr Hall Road, Heswall. CH60 4SD. Tel: 0151 342 8351

Registered Residential:

The Croft, 94 Irby Road, Heswall, CH61 6XG. Tel: 0151 342 7004

Heathermount, Mount Avenue, Heswall, CH60 4RH. Tel: 0151 342 1102

The sheltered house provides accommodation and a main meal each day. There is a resident housekeeper who prepares the meal and is responsible for the house. A committee of volunteers - who visit regularly - monitor the welfare of residents. Allandale is an imposing house, refurbished to a high standard in 2006. Residents are encouraged to lead independent lives, to come and go as they please, and receive visits from family and friends.

The residential houses provide accommodation, all meals and a measure of personal care. Both houses are registered with the Care Quality Commission and maintain high standards which are monitored by regular, independent inspections by the Commission. Reports of inspections can be found on the Commission’s website — http://www.csci.org.uk

In all cases we must ensure that we can meet your needs. In sheltered houses we do not provide personal care. In residential houses we are able to do so. We also now have some facility for respite care at Heathermount. We have a selection procedure intended to provide a measure of confidence that we are right for one another.

The Croft is in a residential area and there are regular buses to Heswall, Pensby and Irby. There are local shops nearby including a post office.

Heathermount is our largest house. Across the road are medical and dental practices. There is a garden and car parking area. All rooms have en-suite facilities.

Allandale is a sheltered house in a select area near the lower village where there are shops: Public transport is nearby. A resident housekeeper is in attendance and a main meal is provided daily.
