About Fixby Lodge

Fixby Lodge is a residential care home in Huddersfield. We support older people needing help with daily living, adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults and people with a physical disability. We also support some younger adults. Support is agreed with each person rather than handed out. For some it is help with personal care, medication and daily routines. For others it is practical assistance with cooking, laundry, money and appointments. For others again it is mainly having reliable people nearby while they get on with their own interests, work or social life. Where somebody has a physical disability we take the time that moving and transfers properly require, using the right equipment and explaining as we go, because comfort and dignity depend on those details. For the autistic people we support, notice of change and attention to noise and busyness in shared areas make the greatest difference. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across Kirklees are welcome to visit. Please contact us to arrange a time.
