A guide for families in Crossens who have started to wonder whether someone they love could benefit from a little extra help at home. Written honestly, without pressure, from experience.
Crossens is a village that has kept its own identity, even as Southport has grown up around it. The marsh views out towards the estuary. The particular quiet of a community that has always been slightly apart from the town next door. These are not things people leave easily — and most older residents have no intention of leaving them at all.
Select Home Care Services provides home help and companionship in Crossens — meals, shopping, housekeeping, appointments and company — at a standard rate of £33 per hour.
Our free guides answer the questions most families ask first.
Crossens has a quality that is distinct from the places around it. Historically a farming and fishing community on the edge of the marsh, it has kept a closeness between neighbours that comes from staying small while the town beside it grew larger — a place where people still genuinely know who lives next door.
Crossens sits at the northern edge of Southport, between Churchtown and Banks. Practical help here often means getting to appointments at the GP or Southport & Formby District General Hospital, help with the weekly shop, meals prepared at home, and regular company. If your helper drives you, mileage is charged as shown on our Pricing page.
We cover the whole of Crossens and the surrounding marsh-edge community within PR9. If you are unsure whether your address falls within our coverage, please call us and we will confirm immediately.

We are not CQC registered, and we do not provide personal care, nursing or medical treatment, or give medication — if that kind of help is needed, we will say so and point you to the right service.

See All QuestionsThe first call is simply a conversation, with no obligation. We will listen carefully, ask the right questions, and give you an honest view of whether home help is likely to make a difference. If you go ahead, we visit to talk through what would help and agree everything in a simple written agreement.
Some families call having thought about it for a single day. Others have been sitting with the question for months. There is no wrong time to have the conversation.
If we are not the right fit, we will say so clearly — and do what we can to point you in the right direction.
