Exemplar Health Care has officially opened Roseside, a £5m care home in Liverpool.

Local comedian and actress Pauline Daniels and former Lord Mayor of Liverpool Frank Prendergast cut the ribbon to mark the opening of the home. Roseside  specialises in supporting adults living with complex mental health needs and neuro-disabilities including Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Following refurbishment, the home is split in to four eight-bed communities. Each of the 32 bedrooms has its own ensuite wet room. The home also features communal dining and living spaces, an activities hub, sensory bathrooms and a large accessible garden for residents and visitors.

Roseside has created 100 new healthcare jobs in the local area. The home will feature a multi-disciplinary healthcare team.

.Liz Butterworth, home manager, said: “Our utmost priority is to collaborate closely with local health and social care professionals, our valued residents, their families, and the broader community. By doing so, we aim to ensure that individuals in our locality receive unparalleled specialist care and have their complex needs met within the comfort of their own community.” 

Samantha Sim, commissioning manager at Exemplar Health Care, said: “We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of our new state-of-the-art complex needs care home in Liverpool. This exciting addition represents our unwavering commitment to expanding our services across England and ensuring that more individuals have access to specialized nursing care right within their own community.”
