Dad entered Headingley Hall in February 2023, having previously lived in Barnsley. We moved him up to Leeds as both his sons & family live here, myself living 10 minutes walk away. Dad had dementia & severe hearing loss & mobility issues.
In his first 12 months at Headingley Hall he was able to
enjoy the lovely outdoor spaces & he had his own patio area, as he always enjoyed the sunlight. He was popular with residents & staff, who all really loved him.
As his dementia progressed he spent more time in his room, but was still enjoying the activities in the lounge on his better days. The care team did a great job managing his increased needs & worked well with Adult Social Care & his GP to make sure he was getting the best care possible.
Sadly Dad passed away in January 2026 of dementia, in hospital. I can only thank all the team at Headingley Hall for everything they did for my Dad in the twilight of his life. He is hugely missed not just by us, but by the dedicated staff.

I have found all the staff to be welcoming, caring, patient and efficient. I feel my mother was well loved and all her needs were catered for.
The home also embraced the whole family and we always felt part of a large, loving family, always warmly welcomed.
There were always knowledgeable staff
available to reassure us if we had concerns or questions and we were always treated with great respect.

My mum moved into Headingley Hall December 2022, just as the dementia unit now called Shire Oak was opening. We chose HH due to the very friendly warm atmosphere that made us feel our mum would be very happy there. She was. She moved out in November 2025 due to financial reasons only
The staff
were all very caring and took time to get to know my mum, her likes and dislikes, what she liked to do. Nothing ever seemed too much for the staff to do.
I found the manager and deputy manager very approachable and would listen to any ideas I had as well as answer any concerns I had about my mum. The reception staff were welcoming.
I have always spoken very highly about staff and everything at Headingley Hall, always recommending that it is a home that should be looked at when considering a care home.

My sister and I are delighted with the care, comfort, welcome and services provided for residents and visitors alike. The common areas and gardens are beautiful and well-maintained and the staff always stop to greet residents there, as well as checking on them frequently if they are in their rooms.
Communication with family is efficient and quick and the admin/managment team is clearly very effective, while the are staff are patient and kind. There is a wide range of activities and trips as well as birthday celebrations. I am looking forward to visiting my mother there over Christmas.

My husband spent 5 days in respite just before Xmas. It was a very difficult decision for myself to let him go but during a visit I was reassured by how friendly, welcoming and understanding the staff were. First impressions were very good. Headingley Hall is spotlessly clean, with a warm, inviting
atmosphere. The staff couldn't have been any nicer and after visiting several care homes, this was by far the nicest. If my husband needs respite in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to let him stay there again.

My brother who has Parkinson's and a learning disability was exceptionally well cared for during his five months stay at Headingley Hall.
The staff were exceptionally caring and certainly went the extra mile to accommodate his needs.
When he left the home his health had improved considerably,
because of all the staffs care and expertise.

My mother went into Headingley Hall just over 4 years ago. She loved it there as she knew she was safe and was looked after 24 hours a day. The staff were amazing and my mum loved them all and the staff loved my mum.
They all went above and beyond for her care and I am so gratefull to all the
staff.

My mum aged 91 never wanted to go into a care home and until August 2025 we managed to keep her living independently.After a number of falls mum went into Headingley Hall for 6 weeks respite care and the care she received was second to none it resulted in us deciding she would become a permanent
resident.When we first visited the thing I noticed was the warm welcome from reception staff and also the fact it smelt clean and fresh,not of urine (something I have noticed in other homes).The staff are all very professional and treated the residents with respect helping them to maintain dignity at all times.
The meals are cooked on the premises with a choice of menu,there is a daily entertainment programme and three lounge areas where residents and family can sit overlooking the lovely gardens with outdoor seating for warmer weather.
Mum had a lovely ground floor room,kept spotless by the housekeeping team.
I can recommend Headingley Hall to any family needing a care home for a loved one

I had to make the difficult decision to find a care home for my dad six months ago, and was really worried about how he'd settle in and how well he'd be looked after. Six months in, it's like a huge weight has been lifted and I can be a daughter again, rather than a carer. I know my dad is safe and
well looked after - he's always clean and smartly dressed. The staff are lovely - I chose Headingley Hall partly because so many of the staff have worked there for a long time and they really do seem to care about the wellbeing of their residents. There are daily activities - dad really enjoys the singing and cinema trips. Communication with the home is excellent - I enjoy getting the weekly updates, and if the staff have any concerns they contact me straight away. They've taken the time to get to know dad as a person and accommodate his interests. The food is fantastic and served in a lovely communal dining room. Whenever I go to visit I always feel welcome - it was the right move for us.

After arriving from hospital on the 2nd Nov, I didn't know what to expect, never having had respite care in the past. I needn't have worried since I was treated with the utmost respect and compassion by all of the staff, residents and those like myself receiving treatment. Headingley Hall is a
beautiful building, and I knew it generally receives an outstanding rating, and rightly so; I would have no qualms of returning at some late date.
11 November 2025
The care and compassion shown to my wife by every member of the Headingley Hall care family has been second to none. The friendliness and acceptance of all the residents is a real joy to behold. I visit almost daily and I can see that every resident is regarded as an individual. They are spoken
to, listened to and cared for in a way that would be difficult to match within any other care organisation. I chose this care home through reputation which has always been second to none.

Care of my aunt seems very good and she was recently, successfully, shepherded through a Covid infection. The staff seem kind and alert and my aunt enjoys going on trips out which seem sell organized and quite frequent. Communications with the family and visitors is excellent. We are very pleased
to have found Headingley Hall Care Home.
27 August 2025
The dementia team took over seamlessly when I was no longer able to care of my wife at home. Their dedication and care in a challenging environment goes beyond a star rating. What is pleasing is the extra provision of activities and stimulation which extends the boundaries beyond the confines of the
dementia suite.

Our mother was resident in Headingly Hall for 4 yrs. She went for 2 weeks respite care but settled in so well and was so happy, we made her a permanent resident. Prior to Mum's stay we spoke to other relatives, who told us how good the care was and how happy their relative was living there. Mum
embraced life to the full in Headingly Hall, she participated in all the events and activities, she particularly enjoyed the music, crafts, bingo, dancing events, and trips to the theatre. She was loved and cared for by all the staff, including catering and admin staff and along with care staff, they became like a second family to her. When we visited her we were welcomed warmly by staff, who cared about us as well as Mum. In Mum's last days she was cared for at Headingly Hall and we were supported wonderfully as we stayed at her side. Staff brought us drinks, meals and kind words, supporting us as well as Mum. We cannot thank the manager and the team enough for everything they did for Mum and for us

Mum stayed a Headingley Hall for the first time for a brief respite stay. We found Headingley Hall an excellent all round residential care facility with a fabulous Team of conscientious hard working staff who couldn't do enough for Mum. The daily activities are a stand out feature and whilst Mum was
only there a few days she enjoyed them. Mum is booked for a longer stay of respite later in the year (4 weeks) and we look forward to seeing Mum participating in what we are sure will be a wonderful month of events. These are important as they stimulate all residents who take part, engage and encourage interaction which, for the residents, is wonderful to see. Well done to the whole Team and we thank you for your hard work, dedication and care to all residents as well as our Mum.

I have found Headingley Hall care home to be excellent in many ways. There is ample parking and the grounds are attractive and well kept. It is secure with a good signing in and out procedure and I always receive a warm welcome from the reception desk. The carers are committed and I see their
presence in both the lounge and dining area. They are constantly ensuring that the residents are comfortable and give feedback to visitors. The senior staff communicate well with me and there are follow up calls to ensure that I am aware of any issues.
The meals are varied and of a good quality. They will provide small meals and snacks at a moments notice when asked. The rooms are light and airy and the facilities are clean and hygienic. I have recommended the care home to friends and colleagues.

The team at Headingley Hall are so flexible and helpful when I want to speak to my mum from a time zone 8 hours away.
They are accommodating and friendly and always make it happen.
Thank you team, it helps to keep us connected over the miles.

My mother has been a resident since May 2023 in the dementia unit at Headingley Hall. This small friendly unit became her home and we became her family again instead of her full-time carers. The staff are professional, supportive and friendly with no restriction on visiting times. The entertainment
and stimulation are excellent for people living with dementia.
My mother returned to Headingley Hall in March 2024 after a 2-week stay in the hospital. The staff have gone above and beyond to settle her back into the Home with her increased care needs.
I have and will continue to recommend Headingley Hall to other families considering care homes.
21 March 2024
The staff at Headingley Hall were all lovely and kind. This includes the care staff but also the kitchen staff and especially the reception staff, who were so kind and reassuring. They went out of their way to ensure that Dad was safe and happy. Very important to Dad’s family, enabling us to sleep
at night.
