Gledhow provides nursing, dementia, palliative and short-stay care for up to 51 residents in a purpose-built home tucked away in a leafy suburb of Leeds.
Set at the end of a quiet driveway, the home offers a calm and connected setting just 10 minutes from Leeds city centre. Residents benefit from nearby green spaces like Roundhay Park and local amenities on the nearby high street. A bus stop at the bottom of the drive makes visiting simple.
All bedrooms are en-suite and can be personalised with familiar touches. The home includes a sensory room, garden room, salon, and a dedicated pub-style lounge known as The Gledhow Arms. There’s also a dementia café and a strong pastoral presence through the home’s full-time chaplain.
Meals are freshly cooked by a team of three experienced chefs, with input from residents. Popular options include Friday fish and chips, seafood specials, and themed menus. Afternoon teas, birthday cakes, and pub lunches make mealtimes social and memorable.
Daily life includes “Move to Music,” flower arranging, Reading Club, Joyful Noise singalongs, and animal therapy visits. Trips, intergenerational events with local schools, and volunteer-run projects bring colour and community throughout the year.
At Gledhow, care isn’t just about support, it’s about creating a community where residents thrive. Whether you’re searching for yourself or a loved one, for nursing, dementia, palliative or short-stay care, the team at Gledhow are here to help.

When my mother moved here in March, she worried how she would cope with the change from living independently in her home of nearly 70 years. She is 98, profoundly deaf (has to lipread), has failing sight and can only eat liquid food. The manager and staff were fantastic - they quickly learned to communicate with her and adapted her room so it was homely and familiar for her. They let her adjust at her own pace, always offering help, encouragement and support. The cooks found out what she could manage and she now really enjoys her meals and is eating more. She looks much better than when she arrived and feels well cared for and has confidence in the staff. Plus, on a practical level, the routine tasks and admin go smoothly - e.g. all her laundry comes back quickly and nothing has been lost, her personal spending money is looked after and clearly accounted for, and hairdressing, chiropody and any other services she wants are organised well.
When mum joined us we knew it was not just the new environment and new people to develop relationships with but also the additional difficulty caused by a sensory loss. Your mum has settled into the home very quickly our affection for her grows daily.

If you require compassion, understanding, concern and loving care, put your selves and your loved one in the hands of Gledhow Christian Care Home. Dads last days were so peaceful and we were made so welcome , nothing was too much trouble and we felt like we had Dad at home with us - not in a home.
I cannot express enough my deepest gratitude to all the team at Gledhow, every single member of staff was kindness personified.
We were lucky indeed to find such a place to nurse Dad with such humanity and dignity and we are eternally in their debt.
Thank you from all of our family.

Elaine, words cannot describe how much you and your kind words have inspired the entire team. Following your original email with the words “Gledhow is staffed entirely by angels” gave us all goose bumps and made us all very emotional, we are very humbled and really appreciative of your additional comments and feedback.It was a genuine pleasure meeting you and all of your wonderful family. For the short time we spent with dad he became part of our family and our memories. It has left us with a very warm glow in our heart and on behalf of every one at Gledhow I would like to wish you all the best in the future.

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
