About Townend Close
Townend Close in Keighley provides residential care for older people, including many residents living with dementia. We are a home rather than an institution, and we try to keep daily life here steady, familiar and unhurried. People get up when they are ready and spend their time as they wish, whether that is in company in the lounge, out in the garden when the weather allows, or quietly in their own room. Meals are cooked on the premises and we will gladly make something different for anyone who fancies it. Support with washing and dressing is given calmly, because dignity is largely a matter of pace and manner. Dementia care asks a lot of small, patient things. Giving someone time to answer rather than filling the silence. Understanding that a person looking for a house they left decades ago is expressing a real feeling that deserves a real response. Knowing enough about a person's earlier life to find what comforts them, which is why we gather that history early from families. Relatives are welcome throughout the day, and we would much rather hear a concern from you early than discover it late. We also offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
