About Court Nursing Home

Court Nursing Home is a 31-bed nursing facility located on New Chester Road in Birkenhead, within the Wirral area of Merseyside. The home is operated by Beaufort Healthcare Limited and holds a Good CQC rating from its last inspection in April 2021.

The home provides nursing care for older people, those living with dementia, and individuals with mental health conditions, physical disabilities, or sensory impairments. Its range of specialisms reflects capacity to support residents with complex and varied care needs. The relatively compact size of 31 beds means a smaller residential community compared to larger facilities, which some families find beneficial for personalised attention.

As a nursing home rather than residential care only, it employs qualified nursing staff on-site. Its Wirral location provides access to local services and community amenities typical of the Merseyside area.
