The Turner Home (formerly the Turner Memorial Home, then the Turner Nursing Home) is in Dingle Lane, Toxteth, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Founded for the care of sick and disadvantaged men, it continues to function as a registered residential and nursing home for men. The building is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. ==History==
The building of the home was completed in 1884 and was designed by Alfred Waterhouse. It was built for Mrs Anne Turner as a memorial to her recently deceased husband and son. Her husband was Charles Turner, a Liverpool merchant who originated from Yorkshire.〔 He had been chairman of Liverpool Dock Board, and a Member of Parliament. Charles Turner died in 1875, followed by his son five years later. The first full title of the home was “The Turner Memorial Home of Rest for Chronic Sufferers”. By the 1980s the fabric of the building had deteriorated, and in 1984 a Centenary Appeal was launched to raise money for essential repairs and improvements. Following this, as nursing standards and regulations changed, more modern accommodation was provided. In 1993 the Eric Fischer Wing was built, containing 44 bedrooms with en-suite facilities. This was followed in 2000 by the Ian Tod Wing, which incorporated a rehabilitation unit, a lounge, and six more bedrooms. The home is dual-registered as a residential and a nursing facility. In addition to medical and nursing care, chiropody, dental care, an optician's service, and hairdressing are provided. Parts of the main building continue to be used for communal activities, including dining, and games such as pool and snooker. Religious services are held twice a week in the chapel. Holidays and outings are arranged for the residents. The work of the home is supported by a League of Friends.
