About Clayton House
We at Clayton House offer residential care in a welcoming community setting in Huddersfield, providing older person care and dementia support for those who call our home their own. Nestled within the Kirklees area, our home is a familiar and comforting presence for families across the HD postcode area and the wider Yorkshire and Humberside region. Our setting has been thoughtfully arranged to feel like a genuine home rather than an institution. Residents can enjoy communal spaces designed for companionship and quieter areas for reflection, all within easy reach of the amenities and green spaces that make Huddersfield such a valued place to live. Being close to the town means loved ones can visit with ease, and residents remain connected to the community they know. The specialisms we provide are shaped around the varied needs of older adults. Our residential care offers day to day support with the routines of living, delivered with dignity and warmth. For those living with dementia, we aim to provide gentle, person centred routines that promote familiarity and reassurance, helping residents feel safe in surroundings that make sense to them. We also welcome individuals with physical disabilities, offering practical assistance so residents can continue doing the things that matter to them. Our respite care option gives families a trusted place to turn when a loved one needs short term support, whether following a hospital stay or to allow a regular carer time to rest. In practice, this means our team focuses on the small daily kindnesses that add up to a good quality of life: a warm meal shared with company, help with personal care given with patience, and a friendly conversation at the right moment. Families are welcomed as partners in care, and we understand how important open communication is when entrusting the wellbeing of a loved one to others. We want to be open about our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, carried out on 25 April 2024, in which our home received an overall rating of Inadequate. The inspection rated us Inadequate for Safe, Responsive and Well led, and Requires Improvement for Effective and Caring. We recognise the seriousness of these findings and understand the concern this may raise for families considering our home. We are committed to listening carefully, acting on the feedback we have received, and working hard to make the meaningful improvements that our residents and their loved ones deserve. Transparency matters to us, and we believe families should have the full picture when making such an important decision. If you are exploring care options in Huddersfield for a parent, partner or relative, we warmly invite you to get in touch to learn more about the changes underway at Clayton House and to see whether we may be the right fit for your family. We are here to answer your questions and support you through what we know can be a difficult time.
