It was a lovely visit. I had not been before and I was shown by a lovely assistant to where to go. It is a lovely home and all the staff are lovely, friendly and helpful.

I have always found the staff friendly and helpful when visiting.
My friends room seems very cosy and homelike.
From what I hear and sometimes see there are some good activities available for the residents.

After a hard decision we decided to put Dad in a care home for his own safety. We picked Spen Court and in the six weeks he was there until passing he was looked after with great care, compassion and patience. We were also looked after by the staff who went above and beyond. Nothing was too much
trouble for any of them.

From the moment we walked in the door, we knew this was the best place for our Dad. It is more like a hotel. The rooms are individually well decorated light and clean. The food is outstanding!
But most important the staff are like family members. They were ALL there for us every step of the way.
The care and compassion showed to our family will never be forgotten - I would 100% recommend Spen Court to anyone.

I do believe the TV in the lounge should be on during the day I have visited my mother from time to time when no TV or radio are not on for redents. All residents just seem to sleep which I dont think it is good for them nothing to stimulate there minds there is activities but not long enough to
keep them stimulated, my mother does like to meet other residents also likes to watch TV during the day so she dosnt like to sit in her room during the day

Visited yesterday afternoon with a friend to visit a mutual friend we have known for over 80 years. I have much experience of care homes & was immediately impressed by the welcome at Spen Court Heckmondwike.
Everything appeared to be run with care & consistent.
Keep it up.

A beautiful home with lovely staff. My dad is treated with dignity and respect. The food is brilliant.
So glad we chose Spen Court.

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
05 November 2025
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.
03 November 2025
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.
03 November 2025
I find the home well managed.
Always clean and tidy
Pleasant staff.
Plenty things to occupy residents.

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.
25 September 2025
Greeted at reception with a smile, all staff were very pleasant.
Overall appearance of rooms were clean & bright. Help provided when needed.
08 August 2025
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.
