Care Homes Owned by Wakefield Council in West Yorkshire

from the cleaners to the caring staff and everyone in between. When I was told my mother was going in to the care home, I had deep reservations regarding her care, but I didn't need to have worried. Every night I went home satisfied that my mother was getting the best care from all carers. I would definitely recommend dovecote Lodge to anyone .

It was tidy and clean.
And it looked festive at his time of the year.
On behalf of my husband and myself, I wish those lovely people a very Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year.

the end to make her feel comfortable. They were so kind and caring towards her health care. I have never had any complaints and would definitely rate them highly in all aspects of care. I would highly recommend this care home for their compassion and enthusiasm. My mum had a wonderful time there and I am glad I found such a perfect home for her.

entered Flanshaw on the assumption she would be nursed in bed for the rest of her life. We were astonished and delighted when she was able to leave her bed, using a special chair and hoist bought especially for her. The staff were incredibly kind to her, and also to my father who found it very difficult that mum was in a care home. COVID made visiting difficult but the staff was as accommodating as they safely and legally could be. Flanshaw Lodge is not the ‘poshest’ of care homes. But anyone thinking of placing their loved ones there should look beyond that. The care provided is exceptional, staff are kind, genuine and extremely caring.

for all the hard work done by the staff at Flanshaw, especially in these difficult times of the pandemic. Organising visits and Covid testing must stretch resources to the limit. Mum and Dad have been married for over 70 years, and before Mum went into Flanshaw Lodge they had spent little time apart. So the visits provided are very important to them, and we are very grateful. It is, as you can imagine, the highlight of Dad’s week being able to visit Mum. Now that visits have increased to five per week it gives us hope that things will soon return to as they were before the first lockdown. So thank you to all the wonderful staff at Flanshaw and keep up the great work.

and private mountains to climb. However, it is so important to share how every member of the team at Flanshaw Lodge have pulled together and ensured, that in spite of repeated and changing limitations, have gone above and beyond to care for all the residents, while also remembering the emotional needs of their relatives. In addition, indoor visits can now be facilitated and are done with willingness and a happy smile. The staff have adopted a holistic approach from the get-go, tackling each new hurdle with a positive 'can do' attitude, while remembering that the extended family of the residents may also be struggling and being observant of the need for them too to be supported!

happier, thanks to the staff you are all angels and very much appreciated. Thank you.

is just about back to her normal self. The care and attention she has received from the wonderful staff is second to none and is a huge contributing factor to how well she is doing. We are looking at getting her back into her own home within the next few days and she is over the moon about this.
There aren't enough words to express our thanks and gratitude to all the wonderful staff who have cared for her. Nurses, carers, domestic staff and the people who have cooked her lovely meals you are all heroes, and do an amazing job, even in these difficult times. Sending love to you all. Stay safe, and THANK YOU.

banners and balloons, many thanks. I understand how hard the current situation is having myself worked in a care setting, once again thank you and I would absolutely recommend to anyone having to place their loved one in a care home from a grateful daughter.

and my dad was in good hands. He was a resident for just short of three years and I can safely say that I would definitely recommend this home to anyone. Right till the end he was treated with dignity and respect and I am eternally thankful for everything the home did.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
