Norway Lodge stands on Reservoir Road in Prenton: a turreted Victorian residence of brick and timbered gable, set back behind mature trees and a lawned garden that residents and families are free to enjoy.
Inside, it remains a comfortable home rather than a cold care facility — warm lounges, a light-filled dining room, and twenty-nine residents at most. Small enough that our qualified, kind nursing staff know each resident well: their families, their history, and precisely how they take their afternoon tea.
Every resident has a personal plan of care, written with them and their family and kept under review by our nursing team. We work closely with local GPs and visiting healthcare professionals, so decisions are made properly and nothing is left to chance.
Long-term care for those with ongoing nursing needs — delivered around the clock by qualified nurses and experienced carers who know each resident well, with dignity always first.
A restorative stay while a family carer takes a well-earned break, or a comfortable place to convalesce. Short-stay guests receive precisely the same care, cooking and company.
A safe and settled bridge between hospital and home: skilled nursing care while longer-term needs are properly assessed, in partnership with hospital and community teams.

My father spent his final year at Norway Lodge. The care was outstanding. The building has a true, historic character, and the garden is stunning — but the absolute jewel is the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, and they treated him with unparalleled dignity.
I love it here — I am very lucky to be here, I am very content. All the staff are so nice.
I can't fault it; the staff are wonderful — they look after me well. There is nothing I would change here — I don't want for anything.
Discharged to Norway Lodge from hospital to aid my recovery, I felt like a guest in an old manor house rather than a patient in an institution. The food is wonderful, and tea in the tower bay window was a daily highlight.
It's an exceptional care home and I feel very lucky my relative is there — they really should win an award. The staff are second to none.
We placed our mother here with some hesitation, as she valued her privacy. The staff immediately adapted to her unhurried routine — serving tea in her room and making sure she could enjoy the gardens at her leisure. We are forever grateful.
Choosing care is among the most important decisions a family makes, and it should be made in person. Request a private visit below, or simply telephone us — a member of staff is here at every hour.
