24 December 2025
Mum was a resident from October 2024. From day 1 she was made welcome and treated with dignity & respect. Nothing was too much for the carers, if Mum wanted something they would go above & beyond to accomodate her needs.
All Mums visitors were welcomed, made to feel at home and addressed by their
first names.
We as a family had no worries about leaving her in the care of Spen Court.

I was a resident of 'Spen Court Care Home' for 3 weeks.
I found the management and staff to be very helpfull & friendly. My room was well equipped and nice and warm.
Food was adequate and I received my medication correctly.
I would recommend this care home to others.

I can only give thanks for the staff - facilities; and care given
27 November 2025
Mum has poor mobility and depends on carers to take her to the toilet. She asked two carers the other day in the lounge to take her to the toilet. Both ignored her so she consequently wet herself.
Same on nights.. carers do not answer the call bell when mum needs the toilet.. so she ends up
wetting the bed.
Staff can't be bothered dressing her properly. Found her today in a thin jumper. No underwear underneath.
Pay £1,320 a week for this treatment.

The staff very helpful and friendly

Find my entire visits to the home to be very pleasant. Staff have always been professional and polite to me at all times - also very happy and fun. When the situation arises - (eases & relaxes)
Everytime I visit I help myself to a coffee and cake - no complaints about either.

I went into Spen Court Care Home in Heckmondwike for respite care as my family went on holiday. I really enjoyed my stay the staff & food were lovely & made me feel very welcome. I would definitely stay there again for respite if the need arises.

My mother and all my family, think Spen Court, and all the staff are first class. We can all see a big improvement in our mother.

In the many years my mum has lived here she has always been treated with dignity & respect from all members of staff whatever their position. This has continued as her condition has deteriated. I have nothing but admiration for the staff at Spen Court & see on a regular basis how they continually go
above & beyond often in challenging circumstances. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Spen Court to family & friends.

My husband came in for respite whilst renovations were done on our house and he is so happy and says it's like staying in a hotel! This gives me so much relief knowing I can leave him happy.

My mum has been a resident of Spen Court for 12 months. She is now happy and settled. The staff have been fantastic and have looked after her every need from day to day requirements to medical situations. They all treat mum with respect and give her what she wants. The rooms, facilities and food are
all top notch. What more could she need? Thanks to all at Spen Court for letting oking after mum.

The staff are always helpful, courteous and compassionate. This fills me with confidence as I am unable to visit my mother often as I do not live in England. When I am able to visit the care home my mum is treated well, is attended to well and is happy.

I can't thank everyone enough for looking after my dad for 2 weeks respite. He loved staying there and he will definitely be returning. We knew he was safe and cared for whilst mum was having a break from caring for dad. The home and the people caring for him are fantastic and it really felt like a
home from home for dad. Would very highly recomemend.

My mum came for a weeks respite, will I went on holiday. Although she has severe dementia, she could recall the home, which indicates that she felt happy and secure.
From my point of view I found the staff very friendly and helpful, which was reassuring as it was the first time putting my mum in
respite. I can't praise everyone enough.
14 May 2025
My mother in law moved into Barchester's Spen Court Care Home about 3 weeks ago. In that time we've seen a real improvement in her. She's been diagnosed with dementia but has had to move into care permanently now. All the staff have been so kind and helpful and the level of care is amazing. Thanks
to the care staff she's settled in very quickly and it's been a weight off our mind to know she's in such a great place. The facilities and staff are all brilliant.

Mum was really going down hill fast and needed extra care which we couldn't provide at home , after five weeks at Spen Court she is blooming
Up & dressed eating regular beautifully cooked meals she has a new interest in life & what is going on around her
The staff are marvellous & can't do enough
for her
As a family we would recommend Spen Court to anyone with an elderly relative who needs extra care
05 March 2025
Mum had become uninterested and lost her appetite and was visibly going down hill. No energy and generally couldn't be bothered. Within the first week she had perked up and was eating again, not much at a time, but always made from fresh ingredients. She was also given her tablet at the right
time and encouraged to take them
