Council to Consider Long-Term Commitment to Two Liverpool Nursing Care Homes

Liverpool City Council has made a significant commitment to the care and welfare of residents at two care homes in the city. The council is proposing to continue providing long-term services at both Millvina House in Anfield and Brushwood nursing home in Speke. This decision will be presented to the Cabinet on September 16, 2025, recommending that the Council remain as the registered provider as per the Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidelines.

In the previous year, the council took on short-term responsibility for the care homes, engaging with Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust for nursing services and clinical oversight. Following a thorough review of long-term options, the council has determined that maintaining its position as the provider will offer the most stable and efficient solution for the residents. Earlier this year, Mersey Care gave notice to terminate their contract, prompting a procurement exercise that led to the selection of Primary Care 24 (PC24) as the new service provider.

The council has collaborated closely with health partners and PC24 to implement service enhancements and emphasize the well-being of residents and staff members. The proposal includes PC24 continuing to deliver nursing services to guarantee consistent care and continuous support for the residents. If approved by the Cabinet, the decision will undergo a 7-day call-in period to ensure transparency and accountability in the process. Liverpool City Council is committed to prioritizing the quality of care and services provided to residents at these care homes for their overall welfare and happiness.

Also, the council is determined to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the care services provided at these facilities for the residents. The collaborative efforts with PC24 and health partners demonstrate the commitment towards improving the overall well-being of residents and staff members. The proposal to continue delivering nursing services by PC24 is aimed at maintaining consistency and high standards of care for the residents. The upcoming decision by the Cabinet will be crucial in securing the future of care services at Millvina House and Brushwood nursing home
