Complex care in Ellesmere Port
Welcome to Cheshire Springs, where we provide nursing care for adults living with complex physical and mental health needs, often arising from conditions such as dementia, Huntington’s disease, motor neurone disease, stroke, or spinal injury.
Located on Chester Road in Whitby, Cheshire Springs has 20 bedrooms across two small, purpose-built units, creating a homely and supportive environment that’s more responsive to individual needs.
We’re dedicated to making every day better for the people we support, helping them lead meaningful lives and achieve their personal goals.
Our trained team provides high acuity, nurse-led care services, particularly for individuals with secondary diagnoses and co-morbidities, or those who’ve experienced previous failed placements.

Thomas Telford Unit
Thomas Telford Unit supports adults living with complex physical and mental health needs, often arising from conditions such as dementia, Huntington’s disease, motor neurone disease, stroke, or spinal injury.
People may display behaviours of concern and/or experience physical health challenges such as dysphagia, limited or no mobility, and/or severe cognitive impairment.
Our team includes Learning Disability, Mental Health, and General Nurses, enabling joined-up support that goes beyond what’s typically available in standalone mental health or physical disability units.
The unit also includes two dedicated bedrooms with ceiling track hoists designed for bariatric care.
Due to the progressive nature of these conditions, care often includes advanced planning and palliative or end-of-life care, ensuring dignity and comfort.
William Jessop Unit
William Jessop Unit supports younger working-age adults who present with behaviours of concern, often linked to neurological conditions or mental health diagnoses such as acquired brain injury, dementia, or Huntington’s disease, often with severe cognitive impairment.
Led by a Registered Mental Health Nurse, the team provides structured, evidence-based behavioural support through functional assessments, personalised support plans, proactive strategies, skill development, and safe reactive responses - all underpinned by our Exemplar Positive Behaviour Support approach.
We provide individualised staffing and observation levels, including 1:1 or 2:1 support when needed - for example, during personal care that may involve restrictive physical intervention.
Over time, we often see a reduction in behaviours and observation needs as people settle into a consistent, person-centred routine.
Many people also have co-occurring physical health needs, such as PEG feeding, which we manage as part of our integrated approach.
For those with degenerative conditions, we provide advanced care planning, palliative, and end-of-life care to ensure dignity and comfort throughout their journey.
