About Marina Care Home

Marina Care Home is a residential care home in Sefton, offering accommodation and personal care for adults, including those living with dementia. Full details from the latest CQC inspection are set out below.

Marina Care Home provides accommodation and personal care for up to 33 people, with 13 residents living there at the time of inspection, including those with dementia. The home is a large adapted house across four floors with lift access throughout, featuring a communal lounge and dining room on the ground floor.

Inspectors found that people received the care and support they required, though care records did not always adequately evidence this. The management team has worked to improve standards of care since the previous inspection, and inspectors made a recommendation about the importance of maintaining contemporaneous records to better document the care provided.
