Home care from Seacombe to New Brighton
Wallasey sits at the tip of the Wirral where the Mersey meets the sea, looking across the river to Liverpool. Families searching for home care in Wallasey are supporting parents in Seacombe and Egremont by the river, in Liscard and Poulton, in New Brighton and Wallasey Village by the sea, and in Leasowe and Moreton to the west. Many live in the terraces and semis their families have had for generations. A carer who lives in lets your relative stay there, with help at any hour.
We also arrange care in Birkenhead, Wirral, Bebington, Liverpool, Formby and Southport.
New Brighton, part of Wallasey, was once home to the tallest building in Britain: the New Brighton Tower, a steel tower of more than 560 feet completed at the turn of the twentieth century and taken down after the First World War.
Arrowe Park and Victoria Central
Emergency and inpatient care for Wallasey is at Arrowe Park Hospital in Upton, run by Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, while Victoria Central Health Centre in Liscard provides local clinics. A live-in carer in Wallasey arranged before discharge means your relative can come home as soon as they are medically fit.
Wirral Council care in Wallasey
Wallasey is part of the borough of Wirral, so adult social care comes from Wirral Council, which carries out free needs assessments and carer's assessments and may contribute to care depending on savings. NHS Continuing Healthcare is assessed separately where needs are mainly health-related, and Attendance Allowance is available whatever your relative's income.
The prom, the ferry and Leasowe lighthouse
The long promenade from Seacombe to New Brighton, Vale Park and Central Park are favourite outings, and the Mersey Ferry from Seacombe is a treat for older residents who remember it as their daily commute. Leasowe lighthouse and the north Wirral coastal park give quieter walks. A carer can help your relative keep getting out, to church, the club or family across the water. You choose your carer from matched profiles before anything is agreed.

Funding & regulation
Paying for care in England
Home care is regulated and funded differently in each nation, so the route is not the same everywhere. Here is how it works where you live.
Read our full funding guide →Who regulates care here
Home care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). They inspect and register home care services to make sure standards are met.
Where funding comes from
Apply through your local authority's adult social care team. Means-tested local authority funding and NHS Continuing Healthcare are both available depending on assessed need.
How we fit in
Live-in Care Direct is an introductory agency. We introduce self-employed carers to families rather than employing them, so you contract directly with your carer and keep the choice of who provides your care.
