We have been navigating the heartbreaking journey of mum's vascular dementia and Alzheimer's for some years. We knew mum's needs could now only be met in Dementia Nursing.
As a family we did our due diligence and visited countless Care / Nursing Homes in the Wakefield area.
Croft House just felt right as we walked in. The welcome was lovely and heartwarming. To see our dad smile for the first time in a long time was everything and we knew from our initial visit that Croft House was where we wished for mum to be cared for. Mum has been at Croft House for one month now. The level of care is Gold Standard. It is apparent that the staff are there as a vocation and not just a job. They really do care and with a smile too.
We visit mum everyday. Visiting is welcomed at anytime and never discouraged.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and choosing Croft House. It is a pleasure to be a part of Mum's journey.

The Mother's Day Afternoon Tea was fabulous. The thought and care that had gone into organising was very evident. The presentation was excellent. There was a very good selection of food. The scones were my standout favourite. But everything was delicious. An excellent idea and highlight of the week. This review is specifically for Mother's Day Morning Tea.
Thank you for sharing this, it's wonderful to hear how much the Mother's Day tea was enjoyed. The team put a lot of heart into making it feel special, so knowing the food, presentation and atmosphere all hit the mark really means a lot. We're especially glad the scones were a standout!!

I cannot praise Croft House Care Home management, carers & domestic staff enough for the continuing care of my husband for the last 16 months of his life. He passed peacefully on the 17th Feb with all the love, care and compassion from nurses & care staff on duty. I honestly believe they gave him an extra 6 months of really good quality of life.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt message. It means a great deal to hear that your loved one was cared for with such compassion and dignity, and that the team were able to bring comfort and quality to those final months. Your words will be deeply appreciated by everyone involved in their care.

My mother has advanced dementia and has growing needs.
When my mother first moved in, the place appeared to suit my mother's needs.
It was quickly apparent the home was failing to meet basic needs for my mother and other residents too.
She was loosing weight and her general appearance was not good.
I also feel her emotional needs we also not met.
All our concerns were presented in a professional manner and escalated upwards as and when required.
Problems continued and management / nurses were inept and changed on numerous occasions.
Social services and CQC became involved and many concerns were raised.
From my perspective the blue bell ward upstairs was a forgotten area.
After numerous meeting and change of management and staff the home now appears to have turned a corner.
Things are running much better and there is a positive atmosphere
Please keep it up for everyone's sake.
Thankyou.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and share your experience that you have had at Croft House. We are so pleased that you and your loved one are seeing positive changes at Croft House and appreciate your feedback.
Food; personal likes and dislikes are taken into consideration. Mum is mainly on puree meals and staff try to make the choices appealing.

My husband has been in Croft House for 6 weeks in that time the treatment and kindness from all the staff were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for anything better. The nursing, activities, food, and general carers were all excellent.

Dad was in respite and the manager couldn't do enough for us. Any issues were dealt with at once. Staff were good to Dad and he felt at home. Dietary needs were met and no issues.

My lovely mum was cared for in the dementia unit for 6 months until she passed on 25th September 2023. While there her care was brilliant as she was also suffering from cancer. The staff were very caring, approachable and compassionate. The last three days of her life I stayed with my mum at the...
I would like to thank them for helping me and my family through a very sad time.
All the staff treat her with dignity and show her lots of compassion. She couldn't ask for any better care.

My mother is well looked after. She is clean and dressed in fresh clothes every day. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The activities Mum has been involved with have been stimulating and fun. All areas are clean, and her room is bright with a view of the garden.

Mum is a new resident and has found the transition challenging. Staff have been kind, patient even on her bad days. Nice room with a lovely view of the garden.

The place is clean, friendly, food is excellent. Only down - more staff needed, so they can spend individual time with the residents, talking with them. The staff available are all wonderful but busy doing their required jobs. Another member of staff would be fantastic to talk to the residents.

My husband only spent 3 weeks in Croft House but I can not praise them highly enough. Every single person we came into contact with could not have been more kind. My husband had Parkinson's and severe Dementia and was very poorly. The kindness shown to myself and my family was outstanding.

Excellent treatment, lovely home, looks like a hotel! The member of staff at the entrance desk is a wonderful and very friendly kind lady.

Both of my parents are nursed at Croft House Care Home and have been for years now and I couldn't be happier. They are very well cared for and nothing is too much trouble. And I can go home on a night or relax at home knowing they're safe.

I’ve noticed previous negative reviews have been removed??
Thank you for your review and we were disappointed to hear you still have concerns despite a full investigation being made at the home and presented to you and the social worker which addressed all of the issues raised and had resolved the complaint made.
We have experienced a very upsetting few months recently in relation to my mum’s basic care needs not being met. There appears to be insufficient staffing on the dementia unit which is leaving residents at risk. The quality of food is very poor as is the decor, the unit feels like it has been...
I am in the process of searching for a new care home for mum as I do not feel she is safe or well cared for.
Thank you for your review and we were disappointed to read your comments. I can see that there is a meeting booked in with you to address your concerns with the Regional Director in line with our complaints policy and we will address those concerns during this meeting.

Hello and welcome to Croft House, my name is Measha, and I have been the Home Manager since May 2025.

It has been a real joy working with people who have shown such enthusiasm to enhance the lives of those living with us and be able to provide the best care in the most dignified way. I believe it’s a team effort, and encourage all of the staff to share ideas to continually improve how we care for and support the people who live here, their loved ones and family.

Hello, my name is Siobhan and I am the Receptionist at Croft House.
I came to Croft House as a carer back in 2017 and then moved into the domestic team in 2020 after showing I had a passion for the environment and attention to detail, I worked in the domestic team during the Covid pandemic.
In June 2021, a position of Lifestyle Coordinator came up at the home and realising how much I missed the interaction with the people who live with us and have been the Receptionist here since July 2025 and was delighted when I got the job.

Hello, my name is Julie and I’m the receptionist at Croft House, I’ve been working here since December 2021.
You will find me sitting at the main entrance to the home ready to greet you with a big smile and a warm welcome. I am usually the first person to answer any telephone calls coming into the home and, will do my very best to help you or point you in the right direction.
Part of my job role is to show people around the home, and this is something I really enjoy, so if you are looking for a care home for yourself or your loved one, I would be very happy to have a chat and show you around our lovely home.
We work as a good team together and are all very conscientious about our roles within the home.
I used to be a care assistant and loved my job, but unfortunately, I had to give it up due to a car accident, but it is lovely to be able to work within the care community again in a different role.
I have had a varied career path since I started work in 1975, from a Shoe Shop Assistant, Asda Wines & Spirits Supervisor, licensed Public House, and a catering assistant, as you can see, I’ve always enjoyed working with the public.
This is a lovely, rewarding job to be in and a happy home too.
