My mother stayed at Inwood for just over 2 weeks in orders to discover what a care home could offer her and to help her decide whether the time was right for her to make the change from living alone to a care environment. In the end, she decided that she did not yet require the level of care...
The rooms are well appointed and kept very clean. The staff pop in regularly to make sure everything is OK. The building is modern and well appointed. Handrails in all the corridors and lifts. Very secure. The staff are caring and dedicated. There are light and airy communal areas on both floors. All in all, a really good experience and highly recommended.
Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to care for your mother during her respite and we would welcome you back any time.

My mum has just moved to this amazing residential home. All the Management have made my mum extremely welcome and I cannot praise this home enough. My mum is treated with dignity, compassion and kindness by ALL the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for the care assistants. The home itself is clean bright and welcoming and the resident's rooms are spacious, well equipped. The food is varied, warm and delicious. There is a widely varied entertainment programme. Our family were very impressed with the free cafe and any time visiting hours.
Unfortunately, my mum had a really bad fall last year breaking her hip, pelvis and knee, so she requires a lot of care with her mobility and personal needs but I am confident that she is dealt with in a dignified way at all times. Her records are kept up to date and I can see at a glance what care mum has received. She has settled well and feels safe.
This is an outstanding residential home which is very well run with qualified kind, caring staff.

My Father has lived at Inwood since January when he was discharged from hospital following surgery for a fractured head of femur at the age of 91. The staff at Inwood are dedicated, compassionate and understanding. Since he has been living there my father has improved physically, mentally and emotionally. He is very happy living there and I can sleep at night without worrying about him and jumping every time the phone rings! I am happy and confident that he is safe and being well cared for.

Carrie is our Deputy Manager at Inwood. She has two decades of experience in both residential and complex care settings in & around Yorkshire.
Born & bred in Horbury, Carrie knows the area and is well-liked by the staff, residents and families we serve.

I’m Rachael, one of the Activity Coordinators at Inwood House. My journey into this role has come through more than 15 years in adult social care, working in hands-on care, day services, supervision, training and community engagement. Along the way, I also studied Social Policy at the University of Leeds.
Although my roles have varied, the part I have always loved most is getting to know people and finding out what really matters to them. Moving into activity coordination gave me the opportunity to bring all of that experience together.
I’m passionate about making life in a care home meaningful! Not simply filling a calendar with activities. For me, it is about giving people purpose, choice, connection and things to look forward to, while helping them remain part of the community around them.

I’ve worked at Inwood House for almost two years, starting my journey as a Care Assistant before progressing to my current role as a Senior Care Assistant, which I’m very proud of.
Before joining Inwood House, I worked in home care from March 2020, so caring has been a big part of my life for many years. My experience in home care taught me how important it is to treat every person as an individual, listen to what they want and need, and provide care with kindness, patience and respect.
I genuinely love what I do and feel very passionate about caring for others. One of my favourite parts of the job is getting to know our residents and building meaningful relationships with them. I love the conversations, the laughs, and even the little moments that might seem insignificant but can make a real difference to someone’s day.
Being a Senior Care Assistant has given me the opportunity to take on more responsibility and support both our residents and the rest of the team. I’m always happy to help, learn new things and share my experience with others.
I feel very lucky to have found a career that I truly enjoy. Caring isn’t just a job to me; it’s about making people feel valued, listened to and cared for, and I’m proud to be part of the Inwood House family.

I've spent almost 4 years at Autograph Care helping support families who are trying to find the best home for their loved ones, as well as supporting people who have realised they might now need additional support. It's always the greatest pleasure to see how much joy and relief finding the right care home can bring to people.
I am very passionate about making a difference in the lives of the people I meet. It's incredibly fulfilling to see how we can make a difference.
I hope to meet you in the near future and to see how we can change your life for the better.
