Respite Care
Whether you need a break from looking after a loved one, or if you need convalescence and recuperation following an operation, or perhaps you want to experience a home before you commit to a permanent move. Each of our homes can offer respite care and all respite residents will be cared for using the same personalised care plan as our permanent residents. Please call our homes to discuss your needs in more detail.
Residential Care
Within our group, all our homes can provide residential care. We have dedicated residential communities at Ghyll Royd Care Home and Springbank Care Home. Getting to know our residents is the key to our person-centred approach to care. We are also able to assist with medication, whilst promoting independence for our residents. For residents who require assistance with daily living tasks, our experienced, discreet care staff are on hand 24 hours a day to assist you as required. Both homes have a nurse call system to enable residents to quickly and easily call for assistance.
General Nursing Care
Across three of our Homes, Craven Nursing Home, Steeton Court Nursing Home and Ghyll Royd Nursing Home, we offer high quality nursing care. Our registered nurses are on duty 24 hours a day, supported by highly skilled care staff to give the best care tailored to each residents every changing needs. We believe that real care cannot be delivered until we completely understand the person we are caring for, and each resident has their own personalised care plan to help ensure their independence and choices are maximised.
Our dedicated, well-trained, professional team offer high levels of service and exceptional standards of care to all residents. Our registered nurses and manager work closely with the GP and other relevant health professionals to ensure that all your health needs are managed to meet your expectations.
Across our Homes we are also skilled in offering care to those with complex nursing needs – please contact us to discuss your care needs further.
Palliative Care
All our homes support residents with palliative care needs, with support available in all our communities. Our staff receive regular training on optimising the comfort of residents, reducing stress on families and providing emotional support.
Complex Care
The needs of each of our residents are different, with some requiring more complex care than others. All our Nursing Communities are able to offer complex care on a resident-by-resident basis.
Before the admission of a resident with complex care needs, if it hasn’t already been provided, we will provide our care and nursing staff with specialised training on each individual condition.

Dementia Care
Across all four of our homes, we are committed to delivering the highest possible care for people living with dementia. We take the time to truly get to know our residents as individuals, gaining an insight into their life stories through recollections, reminiscence, and sensory-based activities to ensure we deliver the very best person-led care.
We recognise that communication extends far beyond the spoken word, and we are deeply committed to understanding the unique expressions of those who may find it difficult to articulate their needs verbally. Our team is dedicated to observing the subtle nuances in actions, mannerisms, movements, and behaviours, treating every gesture as a meaningful insight into an individual’s feelings and desires. By choosing to truly listen through consistent presence and patience, we ensure that we honour the voice of every resident, even when they are unable to speak. This person-led approach empowers our residents to lead the way; by carefully observing their responses and preferences throughout the day, we allow them to guide us in how they wish their time to unfold. We adapt our support to align with these cues, ensuring that our residents remain the true architects of their daily experiences and feel fully seen, heard, and valued as the unique individuals they are.
Our dementia communities are thoughtfully designed to provide a balance of large, airy open spaces and smaller, cosy areas for residents to enjoy. To further personalise this environment, we use memory boxes on our corridors, helping residents identify their own rooms through personal items that trigger fond memories.
Building on this, we provide activities that are meaningful and cognitively stimulating, working closely with residents and their families to identify preferences that fulfil individual social needs. We are also committed to ensuring that we are constantly improving the environment for our residents, which includes providing secure outdoor spaces where they can enjoy fresh air, nature, and the local wildlife found in our gardens.
