Enriched in history, Longroyds and Pilling House Residential Care Home in Huddersfield is made up of two 100-year-old houses that retain many of their period features, making them a truly unique living experience. Set in large grounds and based on the fringe of Skelmanthorpe, the homes offer an extremely high level of care in beautiful nostalgic surroundings. Although our home lies within the countryside, Longroyds and Pilling House is situated within a residential location and is within walking distance of local amenities.
Both Longroyds and Pilling House have purpose-built extensions, with the added benefit of part of the buildings being converted into five independent flats. These flats allow us to offer the accommodation for those residents that require an independent way of life, while still having the security of 24-hours-a-day assistance if needed. We all want to maintain our independence as we get older; by choosing one of the flats, you will be able to live in your own beautifully appointed home, safe in the knowledge that care and support is close at hand should you ever need it.
Our fully trained team are on hand to provide care and support to our residents and their families, offering advice and assistance on individualised care plans that are set in place once a resident moves in with us. Although we are a dementia friendly care home, we offer residential care only and excel in this care discipline. As with all care this service is person-centred and designed to regularly review specific needs and requirements.
Longroyds and Pilling House has 52 tastefully decorated wheelchair accessible bedrooms with large windows, nurse call systems, internet access and TV aerial sockets meaning residents can always have the little things in life within their room. We also encourage them to decorate with personal belongings to help them feel more comfortable and at home and we welcome residents to bring their pets into the home, by arrangement. 13 of our bedrooms offer ensuite facilities and 1 is a double room for couples or residents who prefer to share rooms.
We have a car park to be used by our residents, visitors and staff and receive newspaper deliveries daily for our residents.
Family members and friends of our residents are always welcome to join their loved ones at meal times, whether it just be for a catch up or to celebrate a special occasion, which we can cater for. We cater for any dietary and cultural requirements our residents may have, refreshments, including snacks and fresh fruit, are on offer 24 hours a day as we believe it is important to ensure our residents always have some form of nourishment in between meals. At meal times, we like to make sure there is always something on the menu for everyone to enjoy, therefore, we have an option of 3 meals prepared by our 5* kitchen. However, our residents don’t always have to dine with everyone; we always give them the option to have their meals within their own room.
We have numerous living areas across both buildings here at Longroyds and Pilling House. In Longroyds Residential Care Home, we have 2 communal lounges which are ideal for our residents to socialise together, or to spend time with visiting members of their family or friends and 1 quiet lounge, meaning residents can have some peace. Pilling House has the choice of 3 communal lounges and 1 quiet lounge, again making sure that residents are never forced to socialise or watch TV if they would just appreciate some tranquillity. In both the houses, we have a TV room specifically for resident who would like to watch some TV outside their room and in the company of other residents. Both houses also include a lift, meaning residents with restricted mobility can still access all areas of the home.
Mature and established, our beautifully lawned, large garden oversees stunning views of the countryside. Wheelchair accessibility to our outdoor spaces means everyone can take advantage of the landscape garden area. Comfortable seating areas and our open patio means there are numerous ways to enjoy basking in the sun and take part in outdoor events
An array of entertaining and motivating activities means that no-one can be left bored without something fun and stimulating to take part in.
