Focus on Mariners' Park: Dealing with dementia? You can depend on us

If you or your family are facing the challenges of dementia, the Nautilus Welfare Fund is here for you.

The charity has a dedicated dementia service based at the Mariners' Park Care Home, providing tailored guidance, care and reassurance for those navigating a diagnosis.

 Support from the experts 

Our specialist dementia service has been developed in partnership with Dementia UK, the national charity responsible for promoting and developing Admiral Nursing. The partnership ensures that maritime families receive expert, compassionate guidance throughout their dementia journey. 

Admiral Nurses support carers by helping them develop the skills needed to manage complex care situations, promote positive approaches to living well with dementia, and ultimately improve quality of life for everyone involved. 

Meeting your needs 

We welcome residents with dementia at the Mariners' Park Care Home, where recent enhancements have been made to our accommodation and specialist care thanks to funding from the Merchant Navy Welfare Board.  

But that's not all our dementia service offers. We can also advise you on other housing options, as well as how to access financial assistance, therapy services and support groups – and much more. 

Am I eligible? 

Eligibility for the service is based on maritime experience: either the carer or the person living with dementia must be a former Merchant Navy seafarer. Once you're in the system, you gain access to a comprehensive range of free support. To find out more, email welfare@nautilusint.org or phone 0151 346 8840 

Care Home retains 5-star food hygiene rating

Mariners' Park Care Home has not only retained its 5-star food hygiene rating this year but has also been recognised for making further improvements since the last inspection.  A big well done to head of hotel services Ruth Collard, the chefs and the kitchen porters.
