Halcyon Court care home in Headingley has been classed as Good in all areas by regulator the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Staff at Anchor’s Halcyon Court on Cliff Road were celebrating this week after receiving the accolade.

District Manager Mishel Ingle said everyone at the home was thrilled because they had worked so hard to maintain high standards of care.
She said: “We have worked hard to make Halcyon Court a good care home but to be given such praise from the regulator is wonderful. We are proud of the meals which are made from fresh seasonal ingredients and the high levels of training and support our staff receive.
“We welcome such rigorous inspections and clear ratings so older people and their families can see which homes are the best in the country. We’re so pleased to be classed as a good care home - we’ll be celebrating this success.”
