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 mother loved being here and was thoroughly spoiled by the staff always in a lovely environment that also takes into account the residents loved ones and friends.
My mother sadly passed a few weeks ago, and I will be forever grateful of the fabulous care she received from these guys, and also the love and affection she got before passing.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad to hear how much your Mother loved living at our home. She was a pleasure to care for, always ready to smile and laugh along with the staff team. We will share your kind words with everyone as we know they will be deeply touched by them. We wish you all of the best always. Take care and keep safe.

I really can’t praise the staff from Lever Edge enough. They have supported us as well as my sister through this very difficult time. We have had dealings with the manager, admin, and care staff, and everyone have been supportive, caring, and friendly. They have treated my sister with compassion and care and always listened to us and are happy to give their time which we have always appreciated. Many thanks from the family to this fantastic team who have made a very difficult time bearable.
Thank you for your wonderful review, it is lovely to hear how happy you are with the care that your sister receives at our care home. We will share your kind words with our staff team as we know they will be delighted by your praise. Take care and keep safe.
Excellent communication between home and family. I know my father-in-law loves his time in the home and it's given him a new lease of life. He is eating better than before and enjoys all the activities including bingo and has made many new friends.

Thank you so much for your 5* review of our home. It is wonderful to hear how happy your father-in-law is, and how much he enjoys the activities and friendships he has made. We will share your review with our staff team too as I know that they will be delighted to read your kind words. Many thanks and keep safe.

The staff on the Bungalow section have been amazing and the care that she has received is as good as that provided in a hospice.
During my visits, I have noticed that my friend is always clean and comfortable and despite her poor state of health the carers always treat her with dignity and genuine kindness. It is reassuring to know that she is being cared for in such a compassionate and friendly way.
Some of the staff are very surly and inappropriately suited to this type of job. The home seemed understaffed. At this time wife was left half-dressed for long periods of time. Incontinence pads asked for by home were not delivered to her for twenty-four hours.

We are very sorry to read that you were unhappy with aspects of the time your wife spent at our care home as we always go out of our way to ensure that our residents are cared for to the highest standard. You commented that the home seemed understaffed, however we would like to confirm that our staffing levels are reviewed in order to meet the resident’s needs and our staff receive extensive training in supporting both residents and family members. This notwithstanding, we were encouraged that you gave us 4* for our facilities, activities, cleanliness and food & drink that your wife enjoyed while staying with us. We thank you for your comments which we take very seriously, and we would like to wish you both well .
My dad moved to Lever Edge in October after being in hospital as he needed 24 hour care. Even though he has only been there a few months the care and support he has received has been second to none, they keep me informed all the time about his wellbeing.

Since my grandad moved into Lever Edge, he's practically changed into a completely different man. He looks much better and is socialising with others more than he was before. They've helped him to gain healthy weight and his physical appearance and mental health have also improved massively thanks to the staff at the home. We cannot fault the home in any way at all.
Many thanks for your kind review, we are so pleased to read how happy you are with the care your Granddad is receiving at our home. We will share your review with our staff as they will be delighted. Take Care and Keep Safe.

The staff at Lever Edge have taken really good care of my elderly grandad since his admission earlier this year due to ill health and dementia. He has gained (healthy) weight, and his overall appearance has greatly improved. He has changed so much since being there. The staff have kept us informed of all the changes to visits with lockdowns etc, to ensure residents are being kept safe during covid. Thank you again to everyone.

My mother suffers from Dementia and has been a resident at Lever Edge for a few years, the staff in the Bungalow are amazing with my mum as are all the staff in other sections of the building including the Kitchen staff and cleaners, they always try to put a smile on her face and have a giggle...
I've never had a problem, I'm always kept up to date with her health and wellbeing and know that my mum is treated with respect.
Caring for someone with dementia is not just a job it's so much more and thank all the staff for all the hard work and effort they have put in with my mum and especially at these very hard and uncertain times
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means so much to us to hear that you are happy with the care that Mum receives at Lever Edge. We will share your review with the staff team who we know will cherish it. Take care and keep safe.

When my cousin became a resident in December 2019 she had lost interest in everything including eating. Within a matter of weeks she was eating everything, gaining weight and laughing and joking with carers. She said she wanted to stay permanently and this was then arranged. Although we were unable to visit her during COVID 19 restrictions we were happy to know that she was receiving the best care and was being kept safe from the virus. Although she passed away in August this year - following a stroke - she spent the last few months in a place she loved.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a delight to care for your cousin when she lived at Lever Edge. The team and myself enjoyed many laughs with her and were very saddened by her passing. I will share your kind words with the staff team and send you all of our best wishes. Take care and keep safe.

I'm extremely grateful to all the staff at Lever Edge for keeping Dad safe during Covid and local lockdown.

My mother-in-law has been in Lever Edge care home going on for four years and has been very well looked after by her key workers and all staff on both departments that she has resided on. Even though she has recently moved into a different area within the home, she has settled in very well. Also, during these unprecedented times, we have been kept fully up to date on the current situation, which does give peace of mind that she is being given the best of care. Thank you to everyone for the hard work, respect and thoughtfulness that you all give.
Thank you for your lovely review of our home. It is greatly appreciated and we will pass on your good wishes to all of our team. Take care and keep safe.

My granddad's been in the care home for the last few months (very start of Lockdown!) Since granddad came into Lever Edge, the updates have been fantastic. The involvement with his care and his needs and what as a family we want for him have all been taken into consideration. More recently, the garden visits have been a blessing as we've been able to catch up with granddad and its meant that my grandma doesn't have to be away from my granddad for too long. The staff are fantastic towards him and have gone above and beyond with our expectations.
Thank you so much for your very kind review. We're so happy that you are enjoying the garden visits with your Granddad. We will pass on your lovely words to all of the staff team. Take care and Keep Safe.
Thank you, Mum's very happy there she smiles a lot when I visit.

The home and staff were excellent. They looked after my godmother with exceptional compassion during the last few weeks of her life. I would highly recommend this home to any person looking for a placement for their loved one. Well done to all.

I have cared for my 94-year-old mother for 12 years but after a fall at home, I knew that it was no longer possible for her to live alone. I visited 16 nursing homes and was begging to think I would never find the right plac4e, I would feel ti, it would be instinct, and this is exactly what happened when I sat in the reminiscence tea room at Lever Edge. The manager told me about all the fantastic plans and ideas she had as the singing painter walked past in full voice with a resident on his arm and I knew this was the place for mum. Mum settled in immediately, her room is lovely and spacious with her own ensuite. I cannot praise the staff enough, they are kind, caring and have a lot of patience. There are events for families to join in, the summer BBQ was a huge success, and activities and outings. Lever Edge made one of the hardest decisions much easier. Thankk you for looking after mum.
I am very pleased with the care my relative is receiving.

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!
