About Us

Yews Hill and North Rise are small residential care homes in Huddersfield supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. Both houses are deliberately small, which means everybody who lives in them is known individually and staff notice quickly when somebody is not themselves.

These are homes rather than placements. People keep their own belongings, choose how their room looks, decide what they eat and how they spend a weekend, and get on with life in the way anybody would. Support is arranged around the individual, which for some means practical help with personal care, medication and appointments, and for others means structure, confidence and having somebody reliable nearby while they do things for themselves.

We put a great deal of effort into communication, because most distress begins with not being understood. Some people here use speech, others use signs, symbols or their own established ways of making themselves clear, and learning those is our responsibility. Routines stay predictable, change is flagged well in advance, and we act on early signs that a day is heading the wrong way.

Being part of the local area matters too, so people use nearby shops, clubs and groups and see family as often as they choose.

We also offer respite stays for people living at home whose families would benefit from a break.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Anyone considering a placement is welcome to arrange a visit and see the houses properly.
