Housteads

Housteads is a 40-bedroom care home set in beautiful gardens and woodland. Residents enjoy spending time outside in the garden or watching the birds and squirrels from their windows. The home is highly recommended by families, friends, and social workers, who describe it as warm, homely, and family-like. The staff create a positive, friendly atmosphere, which residents and their families really appreciate.

They welcome visitors to tour the home, meet the staff, and experience the friendly atmosphere. Residents can personalise their rooms to make them feel like home. There are no set visiting hours, so family and friends are welcome anytime. The team of staff work closely together, ensuring residents receive consistent care and build trusting relationships. The Care Plan Coordinator works with each resident and their family to create a personalised care plan tailored to their needs and preferences. They encourage independence and dignity while providing services like laundry, GP visits, hairdressing, and more.

Housteads is located near local shops, pubs, and restaurants, just 4 miles from Sheffield city centre and on a bus route. The spacious function room is used for family gatherings, celebrations, and activities like gardening, arts and crafts, and flower arranging. Residents also enjoy visits from therapy dogs, miniature ponies, and local schoolchildren through the Adopt a Care Home programme. The team organise outings, including barge trips, cinema visits, tea dances, and community events.

The lounges are sociable spaces where residents can spend time together. The kitchen team offer a variety of home-cooked meals, including favourites like meat and potato pie, fish and chips, and stew. The cooks also make special meals for those with different tastes. Snacks are available throughout the day, and they make sure everyone’s preferences are met.
