About care in CH44
CH44 covers Wallasey and Liscard on the north-eastern corner of the Wirral Peninsula, directly across the Mersey from Liverpool. Six of ten registered homes are rated Good across 267 beds, within Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council's commissioning area. The CH44 area was once a thriving independent suburb and retail centre — Liscard village still retains a market and independent traders — giving residents strong community identity. Wirral University Teaching Hospital (Arrowe Park, Upton) manages acute care, with community services from Wirral Community NHS Foundation Trust. Merseyrail Wirral Line stops at Wallasey Grove Road and Wallasey Village provide direct connections to Liverpool Central (25–30 minutes). The Mersey Tunnel and Mersey Ferries offer additional connectivity, making CH44 homes accessible from central Liverpool — an important consideration for families whose primary transport is car-based rather than rail.
