About Northgate House

Northgate House is a residential care home near York. We support older people who need help with daily living, including people living with dementia, and we take respite bookings for families needing a short break or a little time to make longer plans. The home is run the way a household runs. People rise when they wake, keep their own furniture and photographs with them, choose how the day is spent and carry on with the routines that have always been theirs. Visitors are welcome through the day, and we would much rather relatives dropped in casually than waited for a convenient moment. Dementia care rewards patience and attention to detail, so our staff learn the particulars: the favoured chair, the time of day that is hardest, what settles somebody when they are anxious, the conversations they never tire of. Very little of that appears in a document, but it is the substance of the job. When a person's needs are shifting we raise it early with the family rather than arriving with a decision already taken. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are considering residential or respite care in this part of Yorkshire, please arrange to visit. Seeing a home in person tells you far more than reading about one.
