  • Chocolate Works, York
The Chocolate Works in York is a unique care home set within a beautifully restored, historic building. Once the headquarters of Terry’s Chocolate factory, the building was transformed in 2017 into the warm and welcoming care village it is today.

The dedicated team provides a range of personalised care services, including residential, nursing and dementia care. They also offer compassionate end-of-life care, to ensure a home for life as residents' needs change.

Inside the welcoming home, residents can enjoy a variety of luxury amenities including a cinema room, hair salon, spa and gym. A highlight of the home is the light-filled atrium which features its own pub and sweet shop.

Dad is safe and well cared for. Staff are attentive and sensitive to his needs and respond quickly to any family requests. The Chocolate Works is efficiently managed and has a wealth of activities on offer, although Dad chooses not to access these. Dad is treated with respect and dignity and enjoys
very positive relationships with all of the staff.

My mother has been treated with such care and dignity throughout her stay at the care home. This was especially so when on her 102 birthday a whole team organised a party, decorations, presents etc. I know my mother is in the best of care homes at the Chocolate Works. I’m kept up to date with any and
numerous events she is involved with taking part in. I thoroughly recommend this home. Everyone involved - reception, cleaners, caterers are all of a compassionate and caring nature. Thank you all.

My husband has been resident for eight months at Chocolate Works Care Village. He was greeted from the moment of arrival, with a warm and friendly welcome. Each and every carer has learned his name and they always respect his needs. He often speaks of his great happiness to have found a place in Chocolate
Works. The staff know his likes and dislikes and each one goes “the extra mile” in caring for him. All the nursing care are wonderful and considerate of his many health issues. My family and I are always made to feel welcome during visits. Overall the care he receives is marvellous.

Myself and my family are extremely grateful for the care given to my father by the staff on Riverside.
He received a warm welcome on arrival and great care and compassion were shown to him and us all. He was always well looked after and treated with dignity and respect and as an individual. The building
and facilities are impressive, comfortable and clean and we felt welcomed every time we visited. My father had type 1 diabetes and difficult blood sugar control but the staff did their best to monitor and treat this and offer suitable food choices.
Communication was excellent and we couldn’t have asked for anything more at the end of his life.

My dad was a resident at the Chocolate Works for seven months, and over that time, all of the staff were unfailingly kind and compassionate. They made every effort to make him feel safe and secure; they understood his personality and needs and always made my family welcome as visitors. In particular,
the regular updates on his progress were invaluable. We will always be grateful for the care they provided Dad in his final days. Thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father was resident at the Chocolate Works Care Village for five years, initially as a residential patient on Knavesmire. Latterly needing the specialist support of the nurses and carers on Riverside, the dementia unit. I have seen my dad be given the opportunity to flourish in the last five years
of life, despite the restrictions put in place by Covid. The facilities at the Chocolate Works are terrific, the layout supports socialisation between residents, and the care staff are genuinely loving, supportive and attentive. I was reassured that when my dad's mood dipped, the staff were quick to raise their concerns with me and the visiting doctor. When returning from hospital, it was touching to see how warmly my dad was welcomed back. These staff genuinely care. At the end of my Dad's life, he became agitated and distressed, not knowing where he was. Staff stayed with him, reassuring him and settling him throughout the night. I am a GP, and visit many nursing homes, I feel we were lucky to get my dad into the best.

A cordial sincere welcome was extended to my father in law. Care was taken not to overwhelm him with rules and regulations. The welcome was imparted slowly. Written information was clear, precise and helpful. All personnel were delightful. Kind and caring. They introduced themselves including their

I find the full-time staff wonderful and caring. The agency staff are useless. The food is not always acceptable. I haven't rated activities because my husband is bedbound and cannot use any of them.
As to value for money, I cannot answer. When I tell my friends how much, jaws drop.

Having to put your parent into care is never an easy decision to make, especially at 98 years of age. However, the management and staff at the Chocolate Works Care Village have done everything they can to make the transition for Dad as easy as possible. They are kind, helpful and respectful of Dad's
care.
Other than still being at home, my dad is definitely in good hands. I wouldn't want him anywhere else.

Mum was happy and content at the Chocolate Works Care Village where she lived for four years and, as a visitor, I was always made very welcome. The manager is always approachable and her staff are professional, patient, cheerful and kind - they treated Mum like a valued friend and looked after her so
well, especially as she neared the end of her life. Mum was cared for and cared about.
With facilities second to none, I would highly recommend the Chocolate Works to anyone looking for a care home for a loved one.

My father spent the last three years of his life on the Minster floor at the Chocolate Works Care Village. The care and consideration he received was fantastic. He was very nervous for the first few months at this new chapter in his life but the staff gently ensured he was happy and knew he belonged.
He loved the quizzes and learned new skills, like silk painting. It was his home and he was very happy.

My mum was a resident here from February 2022 in what had been an extremely stressful year for her. The minute we walked into the reception the staff were so kind and caring. Mum was suffering from chronic anxiety along with other medical problems and the nurses, health carers etc. were absolutely amazing
with Mum and slowly but surely Mum started to engage with them and trust them. Sadly at the beginning of April 2022 Mum needed end-of-life care, the way every member of staff dealt with Mum was so caring, kind and compassionate, nothing was too much trouble and not only was my mum treated in this way but myself and my three daughters were too, in what were exceptionally sad and difficult circumstances as Mum sadly passed away 8th May 2022. A care home with exceptional staff, treating people like they were their own family and going above and beyond.

My mother was admitted to an ‘end of life’ care bed at the beginning of June - amidst very difficult and challenging circumstances for staff and patients alike.
Mum passed away at the end of August so had spent almost 3 months in the company of the staff.
The care home management showed great concern
and diligence over safety measures to ensure the building was as Covid secure as possible. Regular testing of staff and patients took place.
The room was excellent and although Mum wasn’t eating much, the staff encouraged her continually. Mum was able to watch TV and her favourite DVD’s.
The carers were fantastic and treated my mother with dignity and almost like an ‘old friend’. Small things meant so much to her and the lady painting her nails was one such example.
The staff were lovely and helped the family communicate with her via iPhone FaceTime on a regular basis. It is a few months ago now but I remember the kindness of the nurses and carers involved with Mum’s care.

The care that my Mother received whilst living at this home was fantastic. All the staff from the Manager to the Housekeeping staff were caring and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The home is run very professionally from when my Mother first arrived to when she sadly died. My Mother enjoyed her
time here - even the food! As the building is listed the individual rooms and apartments are of a very good size, these were the largest I came across when looking for a care home for my Mother - I looked at around ten in the area. The rooms have high ceilings and lovely big sash windows, the lounge area is set out beautifully with comfy sofas and armchairs, in nice fabrics - not what you usually find. There is outside space, a cinema, restaurant and a roof-top terrace. The home is located very close to Rowntree Park and York Racecourse. My mother lived in a residential area. I cannot recommend The Chocolate Works Care Village highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.478)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.478) out of 10 for Chocolate Works is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.478 for Chocolate Works is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 278 Ratings = 4.478

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chocolate Works is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 102 registered maximum number of service users is 20.4, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

With over 36 years of experience in the healthcare sector, including 20 as a Registered Home Manager, I’m proud to lead the team at Chocolate Works care home. My background includes 27 years in administration, finance and business support, and I’ve been with Care UK for 14 years, most recently transferring internally from Ventress Hall.


I hold a QCF/SVQ Level 4 in Leadership and a Qualsafe Level 3 in Mental Health First Aid. I’m passionate about creating a safe, high-quality care environment, and I strive every day to support both residents and my team. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, most notably consolidating and enhancing care services, including expanding dementia care and delivering NHS-contracted intermediate care services.


I’m proud of the strong relationships I build with residents, families, staff and the wider community. I start every day greeting residents and staff, and I make time for regular walkabouts to stay present and involved. The heart of my role is ensuring safety, quality care and excellent leadership.


Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, especially my grandson, Chester. I enjoy travelling, making memories and raising funds for charity. In 2023, I completed a 15,000ft skydive, raising over £2,600 for St Teresa’s Hospice. Wing-walking is next!
