Bootle has a homeownership rate of around 27% (among the lowest in Sefton) with the majority of residents renting from Sefton Council, a housing association, or a private landlord. This means that for most older Bootle residents requiring care, the realistic route is through a Direct Payment from Sefton Council, the mechanism that gives individuals assessed as eligible the freedom to choose and manage their own provider, rather than having a service allocated on their behalf. Quarry Homecare works within Sefton Council’s Direct Payment framework and benchmarks its fees against Sefton’s published rates. There are no hidden costs and no difference in care quality regardless of how that care is funded.
The South Sefton Primary Care Network (19 GP practices working in partnership) serves the health needs of Bootle and the surrounding area. May Logan Healthy Living Centre at 294 Knowsley Road provides a significant community health hub, housing NHS clinics from multiple trusts including Alder Hey, Liverpool Women’s Hospital, and local primary care services.
For residents returning home following treatment at Aintree University Hospital, Quarry Homecare can mobilise a care package within 24 to 48 hours of a referral. Adult social care assessments in Bootle are carried out by Sefton Council, and the Care Act 2014 means-test threshold of £23,250 applies as it does throughout England.
