About Us

Types of Care

Across our homes we provide care for a full range of residential and nursing care needs for both long term and respite care.

Our portfolio of homes includes all four categories of Care Home (Rest Home, EMI Rest Home, Nursing Home and EMI Nursing Home) and we can accommodate all of our residents care needs for the full length of their stay in care. Should a residents needs change whilst in care, we can accommodate this under the Dovehaven umbrella with minimal disruption.

Southport Care Homes

We always aim to provide the highest possible standard of care. The priority of our staff is to preserve the independence, dignity and privacy of our residents and to ensure that their needs are dealt with in a professional and caring way.

We have an “Open Visiting Policy” and encourage friends and relatives to visit at anytime. Our professional, well trained staff respect our residents as individuals and are focussed on ensuring that their differing needs are continually met.

The accommodation and facilities in our homes are of the highest standard, all our rooms are individually decorated and we encourage our residents to bring their personal belongings or furniture to ensure their room feels like home. It is the additional services we provide that set us apart from other homes. There is a weekly programme of activities for residents to enjoy as well as regular outings using our specially adapted minibus.

Local Attractions

The Pier

Southport Pier is one of the longest piers in the UK and was also one of the first to be built in iron. The Pier was built in 1859 and has been recently restored. You can take the Pier Tram from the pier head to the Pavilion at the end of the pier where you can enjoy a cup of tea in the Pavilion Cafe. From the end of the pier there are stunning views of the Ribble Estuary and the North West coastline.

Botanic Gardens

The Botanic Gardens is a delightful Victorian park in Southport.  An ideal place to go for a relaxing walk or to sit on one of the many benches and watch the world go by. The gardens surround a lake and are beautifully laid out and full of flowers. The gardens also contain a museum featuring exhibitions of Victoriana, an Aviary and Tea Rooms.

Coastline

The coast surrounding Southport and Merseyside is made up of 21 miles of beach, sand dunes, woodland and farmland, which are a haven for flora and fauna. Much of the area is a protected Nature Reserve to protect local endangered species including the Formby Red Squirrel and Natterjack Toads. The area has many places to sit or walk to take in the stunning scenery.
