    Not yet rated
    The domain ratings recorded in the data used for this report are listed as not yet rated, which reflects a transitional inspection period.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The home cares for adults over 65 and has specific experience supporting people living with dementia. Staff work with residents who've been there for many years, adjusting care as needs change. For residents with dementia, the team seems to understand the importance of letting people maintain their sense of self. Families mention staff allowing residents to participate in activities that matter to them, working with their preferences rather than against them. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

62/ 100

DCC Family Score

This home carried a Requires Improvement rating at the time the data was compiled, with a declining trend from a previous Good. The scores reflect that official inspection findings do not contain specific observations, quotes, or detail to support higher confidence across any theme.

Homes in North West typically score 68–82.

The three-lens summary

Lens 01

What families tell us

Families describe staff who make themselves available during difficult times, even when the home is busy. Several mention how the team supported them through their relatives' final days, creating space for family to be present and helping maintain dignity through declining health.

Lens 02

What inspectors have recorded

There's evidence of both thoughtful and concerning approaches to care management here. While some families found staff adapted well to changing needs over years of residence, one family experienced serious difficulties getting proper hydration support for their relative, leading to repeated hospital admissions. They also struggled to reach management when trying to address these concerns.

Lens 03

How it sits against good practice

If you're considering Hurst Park Court, it's worth asking specific questions about daily care routines and how concerns are escalated when families raise them.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

The home at Long View Drive, Liverpool carries a Requires Improvement rating at the point this report was compiled, having declined from a previous Good. The published data available for this report does not include the full narrative inspection text, which means specific observations, resident quotes, or staff interactions recorded by inspectors are not available to analyse. Because of this gap, it is not possible to give you a confident picture of day-to-day life here. The Requires Improvement rating is a material concern, particularly the declining trend. Before visiting, call the home and ask to speak with the registered manager. On the visit itself, use the checklist questions below rather than relying on a tour: watch how staff interact with your parent in corridors, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota, and request the activity record from the past fortnight. A full updated inspection report was published in April 2025 and rated the home Good across all domains; read that report in full before making a decision, as it will contain the specific evidence this summary cannot provide.
