About Us

Stella House Residential Care Home is in Pontefract, in the Wakefield area. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia or with mental ill health and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays.

We run the home the way a household runs. People get up when they wake, sit where they choose, eat what they enjoy and keep the habits of a lifetime. Help with washing, dressing, medication and getting about is given when it is needed, quietly and without anybody feeling they have been taken over.

Supporting a mixed group of residents works when everybody is treated as an individual. Some people want quiet and routine, others want company and something going on, and both are entirely reasonable ways to live. For residents living with dementia, our team relies on knowing the person, their history and the things that reassure them.

Families are part of the home here. Relatives visit when it suits them, and we keep in touch about health and mood rather than only ringing when something has gone wrong.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.

If you are looking at residential care in Pontefract or nearby, please arrange to come in, meet the team and see the home on an ordinary afternoon.
