About Hopton Cottage Care Home
We are Hopton Cottage Care Home in Mirfield, in the borough of Kirklees. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia, and we also offer respite stays. A home of our size has an advantage that is easy to overlook, which is that staff genuinely know everybody who lives here. Not just the care plan but the preferences, the history and the small things that make a difference to somebody's day. That knowledge is what good care is actually built on and it is very hard to substitute for. Dementia shapes much of our work. We have found that correcting somebody's account of things achieves nothing, and that knowing who a person has been tells us far more than any list of symptoms. Distress nearly always has a cause, and it is more often practical than people expect. For health needs beyond our registration we work with district nurses and GPs rather than stretching to cover something we should not. Respite guests are assessed and welcomed exactly as permanent residents are. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
