About Castle Grange
Castle Grange is a residential care home in Huddersfield, providing a permanent home for older people who need help with the practical side of everyday life. We try to keep the place domestic, with the ordinary rhythms of meals, company, fresh air and rest. Our support covers personal care, medication, eating well, moving about safely and having somebody about who notices when a resident is not quite themselves. We support people living with dementia, and we rely on continuity: staff who know a person's history and habits, a routine that does not keep changing and reassurance given as often as it is needed. We also care for residents with physical disabilities, adjusting how we help with mobility so that independence is kept wherever it can be, and we bring in community health professionals whenever something more clinical is required. Respite stays are available too, giving family carers a proper rest and letting a prospective resident get the feel of the home before any permanent decision. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we treat that as a standard to hold rather than a badge. Please visit during an ordinary day and make up your own mind.
