About Fernwood

Fernwood is a nursing home with 28 beds located in Knowsley, Liverpool. It is operated by Fernwood Health Care Limited and provides care for a range of service users including older people, younger adults, and those with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments.

The home offers nursing-level care, meaning registered nurses are on staff to manage medical needs and administer medication. Its mixed population and broad range of specialisms indicate it can accommodate individuals with complex care requirements across different age groups and conditions.

The home has not yet received a CQC inspection rating. This may mean it is relatively newly registered or recently under new ownership. Prospective residents and their families should gather information directly from the provider about staffing, care standards, and facilities to assess suitability for individual needs.
