Dukes House

Type of property

Dukes House is a welcoming, supportive and stimulating residential service for people with complex care and support needs to live fulfilling lives.  The property has eight ensuite bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, lounge area, laundry room, quiet room and a shared bathroom with a hydrotherapy bath. The properties also have two accessible gardens with patio areas. There's a sensory room, and a training kitchen to help people learn cooking skills. Recently we have added a family-friendly visiting room which is accessed from the back of the property. We use assistive technology including door and motion sensors, an intercom, and door alarms to increase people's independence.

Valued in your community

Every month, we come together to choose our activities and how we want to spend time in the local area. At Dukes House, we are fortunate to be located on the picturesque New Brighton coast, just a short stroll from the beach and promenade. At the Dukes House, people choose how they spend their time. North Wales, Chester and Blackpool are firm favourites.

Closer to home, people enjoy going to the beach - we are ideally located for this, with a beautiful sea view from the property. The local area has many cafes, pubs, restaurants, and shops, as well as Wallasey Central Library, the Light Cinema, a miniature golf course, Marine Point retail and leisure park, Riverside Bowl and Laser Quest, a model boating lake, and the Floral Pavilion Theatre. Guinea Gap Leisure Centre provides year-round access to a gym and swimming pool.

Liverpool is easily accessible from Dukes House. In the city, people enjoy numerous museums and art galleries, Liverpool ONE Shopping Centre, the Liverpool Empire, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and Imagine That Science and Discovery Centre. And we’re spoilt for choice for beautiful walks - the docks, Toxteth Park, Wavertree Botanic Gardens and Sefton Park are just a small selection.
