Nestled in the village of Longwood, just ten minutes-drive from Huddersfield town centre, you’ll find Longwood Grange Care Home. Here our team of compassionate and dedicated Colleagues provide person-centred care to Residents aged over 65. Our Care Home in Longwood offers personal care for people with a range of needs, including those living with dementia and Parkinson’s.
The Care Home itself is a peaceful place, overlooking the Colne Valley and next to the historic St. Mark’s Church. Here Residents can choose the life they want to lead – either enjoying being busy with the Home’s many activities or relaxing quietly in the comfortable indoor spaces and garden.
We’re in easy reach of the A640 New Hey Road if you are travelling by car, and on a local bus route, for those visiting us via public transport. The Huddersfield Royal Infirmary is just a five-minute drive away, and Longwood Village Surgery is 4-minutes-walk from Longwood Grange.
There are 31 rooms at Longwood Grange Care Home in Longwood, some of which are suitable for couples to share. Each one can be personalised straight away, providing Residents with the chance to make this their home from home. We empower Residents to make friends, lead fulfilling lives and take an active role in decisions around their care.
The Home used to be a school, and the building is unique and full of character. Residents can relax in our spacious communal lounge, which has little nooks for those who like to be away from the main hub. At our Care Home in Longwood we have an in-house salon for hairdressing, a cinema room and a well-appointed dining room. Residents can also enjoy our landscaped gardens when the weather is good.
Commitment to Quality
We are committed to providing high-quality, person-centred care in every one of our homes. To demonstrate this commitment, we share a range of independent and transparent quality measures, including regulatory inspections, internal reviews, benchmark scores, and real feedback from the people who matter most: residents and their families. These insights help us reflect on our progress, celebrate what’s working, and focus on where we can do even better.
Person-centred care
Each Resident is an individual, and their needs are unique to them, which is why we’re passionate advocates of person-centred care. We ensure that all medical, emotional, nutritional and spiritual needs are attended to, giving Residents peace of mind. Our experience has shown that Residents who receive this type of holistic care feel their lives are enhanced and are very happy living at Longwood Grange.
Living life to the full
Residents can enjoy an active social life if they choose. Our busy activities timetable means there’s always something fun to do – from singing to cooking, crafting to film clubs, and everything in-between, we have a range of things to choose from. We love celebrating special events with Residents, welcoming their loved ones, and inviting local community groups to come and visit us.
Dining and nutrition
We complement our person-centred approach to care with catering that takes into consideration the individual nutritional and dietary requirements of Residents. Our Chef offers a varied menu, using fresh ingredients to create healthy and balanced dishes that not only provide sustenance but taste great too.
We can adapt our menus for the different needs of Residents and accommodate personal preferences, making sure every mealtime is pleasant social experience for all. Our catering team particularly loves catering for special occasions, birthday and festivals.
The B Happie Mission
Our mission to promote happy residents and happy staff is underlined by our groundbreaking ‘B Happie Charter’. We achieve these values by conducting person centred activities and events with a whole home approach, by recognising and appreciating the amazing work that our teams do and by prioritising mental health and wellness.
Electronic care plans
We always strive to innovate and use technology to enhance our provision of person-centred care. Our Home uses Electronic Care Plans which provide instant and secure access to care details and provide a thorough overview of support and activities. Using technology increases efficiency and enables our Colleagues to spend more meaningful time with Residents and improving the quality of interactions and care and support provided.
