Abbeyfield Hoylake & West Kirby

Elliot House

Location

Elliot House is situated just below our residential home, Lear House just outside the centre of the village of West Kirby on the South coast of the Wirral peninsula. West Kirby is a thriving village which attracts large numbers of visitors all year round to its marine lake and promenade as well as to the large sandy beach.

Bus and rail services are within a very short walking distance of the house and there is ample parking in the grounds of Lear House which also has quite extensive gardens. The views are magnificent looking out over the Mersey and Dee estuaries to the coast of North Wales and to Hilbre Island, situated about four miles offshore.

Suitabilty

Elliot House was opened in 1984 and provides ideal accommodation for people who wish to live independently but want the benefits of living within a community that provides daily support if required.

Elliot House is suitable for people with a reasonable amount of mobility (with or without walking frames) and is all on ground floor level. We have nine rooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom, and all enjoying a view of either the grounds or overlooking the village.

There is a live-in housekeeper who is available from morning until early afternoon. Residents can take care of their own breakfast and tea (food provided by Abbeyfield) and the housekeeper takes care of the main meal at lunch time. This is served in the main dining room and is a great opportunity for everybody to meet and chat.

Entertainment is also provided in the main lounge which is organised by our enthusiastic volunteers. This is not only for the benefit of the residents but also their friends and family to join in with too.
