Roseside

Care home in Liverpool

Sunflower is a male-only unit for older adults with a primary diagnosis of dementia who present with behaviours of concerns and/or complex co-morbidities. These needs often go beyond what mainstream care services can manage.

Due to the progressive nature of dementia, individuals on Sunflower require advanced care planning, as well as palliative and end-of-life care to ensure dignity, continuity, and comfort.

Many people also live with limited mobility or physical disabilities, requiring specialist equipment and tailored support with daily living.

The environment is thoughtfully designed in line with the University of Stirling’s ‘Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Assessment Tool (EADDAT),’ creating a space that promotes comfort, independence, and overall wellbeing.

Primrose Unit supports adults living with a mental health or neurological diagnosis, who may present with behaviours of concern. 

Our goal is to improve quality of life through structured, evidence-based behavioural support.

This includes functional assessments, personalised plans, proactive strategies, skill-building, and safe reactive responses - all underpinned by our Exemplar Positive Behaviour Support approach.

Many people move to Primrose following the breakdown of previous placements, often because other services lack the staffing, skill, or capacity to support their needs safely.

We provide individualised staffing and observation levels, including 1:1 or 2:1 support when needed, to manage risk and promote stability.

Over time, individuals typically show a reduction in behaviours and observation as they settle into a structured, person-centred environment.

People may also have co-occurring physical health needs or disabilities, requiring an integrated approach. With input from both General and Mental Health Nurses, we ensure all aspects of a person’s wellbeing are supported.

Tulip Unit supports working-age adults living with physical disabilities and complex health needs, often linked to neurological conditions or spinal injuries.

People may also have co-occurring mental health needs, bladder and bowel conditions, respiratory issues, and/or obesity, requiring coordinated nursing care.

We can also support complex mobility needs, including regular repositioning, skin integrity checks, and postural management.

With input from our Regional Physiotherapist, we’ve helped people gradually rebuild mobility and increase time spent out of bed.

The team includes both Mental Health and General Nurses, enabling a holistic approach that focuses on meeting not just clinical, but also emotional, mental, physical, social, sexual, and spiritual needs - care that mainstream providers cannot provide.

With a focus on progression and meaningful engagement, we work towards outcomes that improve quality of life, and where appropriate, support a rehabilitation pathway to lower acuity settings.

The profile of Lavender Unit will be developed in partnership with stakeholders and shaped by local demand.
