CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Gerald House is a 18-bed residential care home in Prenton, Wirral, run by Mrs K Shone. It is registered to care for older people.
Its CQC rating, from September 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in February 2018, was the same.
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Wirral, 70% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in January 2026. That is true of 84% of homes in Wirral.
