Wharfeside care home

My cousin has been a very happy resident for 4 years. During the COVID lockdown the staff were amazing - providing the most ingenious ways of keeping up morale- including involving the residents in social media videos. Over the last year as she became more frail the staff have been wonderfully compassionate and caring. My son recently visited with … Read moreme and was amazed by the comfort and high standard of care as well as stylish surroundings and cleanliness. (Definitely not found everywhere around the country!) I couldn't possibly recommend Wharfeside more highly. It's a superb care home and I'm filled with gratitude.

Just home after a super high tea party at Wharfeside, such a large variety of savouries and salads and cakes, I will not be eating again today. The staff had decorated the dining room with bunting and the tables were laid with pretty cloths and lovely china. Many of the staff had gone into work on their day off (such is their love of the place wher… Read moree they work). All our family are delighted with the care provided. It's such a happy place with lots going on. We are so glad we chose Wharfside, it's so easy to go for a walk by the river or round the market. The food is always a very high standard and always a choice. Thank you to every member of staff for working together to make this a very happy home from home.

We attended a High Tea event with Mum at Wharfeside today on the Poppy floor. The Poppy floor staff had planned the event extremely well. The setting was superb with each resident having the chance to share the event with their family. The atmosphere and food was amazing and a good time was had by all. The staff had all dressed for the occasion mak… Read moreing it feel special, some even came in from leave to support the event! We had a really great time as did Mum. Thanks to everyone at Wharfeside for making this such a special occasion.

The staff on poppy floor organised a tea party for residents and their families. It was a fantastic afternoon, with lovely staff who worked very hard making sure everyone was enjoying themselves, especially the residents. A really big thank you to all the staff, carers and catering staff, a really good do.

My mother initially moved into Wharfeside for respite care after a few weeks in hospital. She was quite frail at that time and disoriented, moving into a different home. The staff were very welcoming as were the other residents on her floor. They were also very responsive to my sister and I as we navigated our way around a new place and new ways of… Read more doing things. I spent 8 hours a day with Mum for 2 days shortly after she arrived at Wharfeside and so had a good insight into how the home operated. I was invited to join Mum for meals, which surprised but pleased me. The food is good, both quality and choice. Overall I quickly became reassured that Mum was in a good place for her respite care. She was getting stronger and benefitting from the level of care but decided that she did not want to go back to her previous home. Fortunately, a room was available so she is now a permanent resident and is flourishing in the supported environment. This is such a relief to my sister and me.

Lovely atmosphere as always when I visited my Mum at the home today. Strong winds meant a planned garden party had to be cancelled and the kitchen had suffered some structural damage. Despite this adversity, the staff coped amazingly as always and made sure the residents had a lovely buffet inside instead and had a really great singer come to enter… Read moretain who was brilliant with all the residents. Staff and visitors also enjoyed the show. There is always such warmth from the staff team. I really enjoy spending time with my Mum at Wharfeside. There is a real family feel to the place.

Following a bad fall and a substantial time in hospital my father moved into Wharfeside circa 16 months ago. Firstly the move/transition from hospital was made as simple as possible and my father was made very welcome from day one. This is a purpose-built care home that is second to none in layout and facilities, being able to personalise his ensui… Read morete room made the transition a lot easier for my father. Whilst the food is excellent, and cleanliness is always at a high standard the biggest difference we have found in this care home is the staff. From whatever level the staff always find time to engage and encourage residents with a smile on their face.
