About Wharfeside
Wharfeside is a residential care home in Otley. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and we support younger adults too. We also offer respite stays for families needing a planned break. We try to run this as a household rather than a facility, and the test of that lies in ordinary things. Whether staff knock and wait. Whether you can get a cup of tea late in the evening. Whether the person helping you knows what you did for a living. Whether anybody notices when you have been quieter than usual. Being in a small market town has real advantages. Residents who have lived here for decades know the place far better than we do, and there is a good deal to be said for a conversation about the town with somebody who has watched it change over a lifetime. For residents living with dementia we protect routine and keep surroundings familiar, and we ask families for the history that lets us understand what somebody means rather than only what they said. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. We would rather say so openly. Anyone considering us should come without an appointment and ask us whatever they want.
