Both of our households are warm, welcoming and friendly with some very special features.  All our bedrooms are comfortable and spacious with en-suites, we encourage residents to personalise their room to their personal tastes. Our home has wonderful spaces to relax in and enjoy company, including an activities room, hairdressing area, large lounge areas and dining rooms as well as some quite areas for residents to relax with family and friends. We have a large accessible garden for our residents to enjoy relaxation and activity outdoors. Our home is also adjacent to a lovely park and gardens – very popular for gentle walks.

An Active Life

At Eccleston Court, we run an extensive activity programme and support people to enjoy days out in the community too. By getting to know the people we support well, we are able to offer activities that meet their different passions and interests. We have fun one-to-one and group activities, such as arts and crafts, quiz nights, reminiscence sessions and day trips. We have regular social events for people we support and their families, including performances from local entertainers. We welcome the contribution of family members and work together to plan special days out and celebrations. The Haydock Suite area of Eccleston Court has a stunning St Helens RFC room, which was opened by Saints legends Paul Sculthope and Eddie Cunningham. It also has rooms celebrating seaside memories, local history and family life.

All staff receive specialist training and mentoring.
