Lever Edge House is a purpose-built care home, created to best compliment a highly skilled team offering excellent residential care. This home also boasts fantastic dementia care.
Carers offer residents and their families the support they need during what many find some of the most trying times of their lives. Families are truly grateful for the personal support they receive, when faced with one of life's very difficult decisions and the team pride themselves on continuing that support to residents and their families from the moment they contact the home throughout the whole of their stay and beyond.
The approach to care is simple - look after the person and not the ailment/condition alone - Carers want to get to know their residents and their families, thus enabling them to look after the whole person and not just to concentrate on the task in hand. Staff get to know their clients, who they are, who they were and how they have come to be at the home.
Carers get to know their families too and like to understand the dynamics within the family setting and how best they can support these as they build a relationship of trust. They understand that choosing a care home is not just about excellent amenities, but about a true and real understanding of relationships being nurtured, trust being built and a life being lived. Professionals believe in true, real and honest care and keep this at the heart of their approach.
The home welcomes long stay residents but also those wanting a shorter stay, perhaps for rehabilitation or convalescence or to build confidence after a fall. Has also offered respite care and support to those suffering from nervous conditions following a break in at their home
Hill Care have are well respected in the North of England for a homely range of care accommodations that incorporate the latest sector technology and recognised good practice.

My 94 year old dad had lived in his own home for over 60 years, after a short spell in hospital he was unable to return home. As a family the decision to move dad into a care home was heart-breaking, how lucky we feel that a place was available at Lever Edge Care home, the amazing staff cared and looked after dad in a patient and respectful way, as a family we were listened to and made to feel welcome, every member of staff did their best for us all. Sadly Dad passed away but we were able to spend his last week at his bedside day and night and with the help of the care team we got through a very difficult time with some smiles. Amazing caring people doing a very difficult job. Thank You x
Absolutely fab Mother's Day lunch. It's such a relief to know Mum's very well looked after. Bless you, all.

Since my mum arrived at Lever Edge, she has got her spark back. She is treated with kindness and respect from all the staff. I can't thank them enough, so thank you all at Lever Edge.

All the staff are extremely kind and helpful. Could not ask for more.

The staff are excellent. It's like visiting a holiday camp rather than a residential care home. I wouldn't mind a week there myself! Excellent.

After a stroke, Mam spent Christmas and New Year in hospital very confused and angry. Two weeks ago she was deemed fit for discharge. Within 24 hours at Lever Edge, she had seen the hairdresser, was dressed and looked like a brand new woman. Her anger has passed and although she would love to go home, they are really ensuring her transition is totally supported. I also feel supported and happy with their care and friendly approach.
There doesn't seem to be enough supervision upstairs on my wife's floor. If she fell nobody comes in to see if she is okay. they would only see when they brought dinner, tea etc.

Friendly, caring and supportive. What more could you ask for? My mum has cared for Grandma for the last six years, cooking, cleaning and making so many sacrifices of her own time. The home has made my mum's life so much easier. Finally, my mum can relax.

I am glad that my dad is at Lever Edge care home.
The home is very secure all outside doors have keypads. Must do a flow test before entering the home to visit. Staff take you to my wife's room if she is not there they bring her to me.

The home is very secure all outside doors have keypads. Must do a flow test before entering the home to visit. Staff take you to my wife's room if she is not there they bring her to me. My wife is always clean and tidy, clean clothes, slippers on, hair brushed. There is a hairdresser who comes in and does my wife's hair and other residents. Her room has an ensuite with a shower. All in all, I think it is the right place for my wife.
Staff are very caring and attentive. Overall, we are very satisfied with the care received at Lever Edge House.

I started working at Lever Edge in 2014, I worked as a carer for 9 years and when the activities coordinator job role came up last year I thought I would go for it, doing this job for the last 12 months I feel I have excelled in my confidence and thrived, I really enjoy making all the residents happy, I have a great rapport with all the residents, families, friends, and people and businesses in the community who donate some wonderful things to Lever Edge. I won Star of the Month in January for my compassion and aspiration.

I have worked at Lever Edge for 13 years, starting as a carer and working through the ranks to a senior, unit manager and 6 years in my current role as a deputy manager now, I feel I am a great support to management and all the staff.
I hold an NVQ level 5 in Leadership and management.
My greatest achievement was writing a poem during the pandemic I entered a competition and out of hundreds of entries I won. My poem was then published along with my photograph in a book called ‘Poems in a Pandemic,’ so a very proud moment!
