About Us

The Aelred Wing at St Hilda's Priory is a residential care home near Whitby in North Yorkshire. We support older people who need help with daily living, including those living with dementia, those with physical disabilities and those living with sight or hearing loss. Younger adults are supported here too, and respite stays are available.

What we aim for is an ordinary life with help attached rather than a routine everybody has to fit into. Residents decide when to get up, where to sit, whether they want company or quiet, and what they would like to eat. We help with personal care, dressing, medication and mobility, doing only as much as somebody actually needs, because taking over is easy and rarely helpful.

Dementia care is a large part of our work, and the practical side of it is unglamorous. Keeping the daily rhythm and surroundings consistent. Giving somebody time to find their words instead of finishing their sentence. Knowing enough about a person's earlier life to understand what a worry is really about. Families hold most of that knowledge and we ask for it early.

For residents with physical disabilities our attention goes to equipment that fits and safe transfers. For those living with sight or hearing loss, unhurried communication makes most of the difference.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and see us on an ordinary afternoon and ask us anything you like.
