Windy Knowe Nursing Home features

Welcome to Windy Knowe Nursing Home

Windy Knowe – nursing home wirral is one of our nursing homes in Wirral, situated in the residential area of Oxton, Birkenhead and has rear views over the open fields of nearby Wirral Ladies Golf Course. The building originates to 1903 and retains the original architecture within the communal areas. We have recently refurbished Windy Knowe – nursing home wirral to a high standard.

An activities Coordinator is employed within the home to provide individual, group and general activities for the residents. These activities are adapted to suit individual needs and include outside entertainers and trips out utilising our mini bus. As we pride ourselves on both belief in socialising and individual needs, there are three communal lounges, two dining rooms and a quiet room for one to one or private meetings within the home. Our Activities Coordinator liaises with local support groups, churches and schools to provide a varied selection of activities.

Windy Knowe is one of our care homes with nursing and residential care which also specialises in dementia care, with 49 beds on three floors all accessible by lift. All have access to the extensive gardens to the rear of the building. Visitors are welcomed. If you would like to book a tour of the home please contact the manager directly, who will be more than pleased to assist you.

In March 2020, Windy Knowe welcomed Carol Dwyer to the home as Registered Home Manager. Carol, has been a qualified nurse since 1987, and has worked in both the NHS and the private sector, Carol has been a manager in Care Homes for over 20 years and has experience in trauma, orthopaedics, theatres, palliative care, and elderly care.

“I endeavour to provide choice and person centred care, in addition to delivering professional and excellent services to those we support”

When Carol is not at the home she spends her spare time following rugby league, in particular Wigan Warriors ladies team. She also like to spend time with her pets, Roxy an elderly Lab, Poppy a crazy young Collie, Rory the cat, Oscar the ancient tortoise, although her love and joy are her Koi carp.

All service users will have their own care plan which will be compiled with the service users, their family members and professional bodies.
