    • Care Home

    Larchfield is a residential care home in Leeds. We support older people, including those living with dementia and those living with mental ill health, as well as some younger adults, and we offer respite stays. The home runs around the people in it. Residents decide when to get up, what they want to eat and how to spend the day, and we would rather somebody sat with the paper all morning than joined in something to be polite. Rooms are personalised from the start with people's own furniture and pictures. Supporting people who live with both dementia and long standing mental ill health is a good part of our work, and it is an area where people are sometimes passed from place to place. We try to be a home where that stops. Routines stay steady, staffing is kept as consistent as we can manage, and when someone is distressed we look for what has caused it rather than simply calming the moment. Younger adults living here have different needs and different expectations, and we are careful not to let their days default into a pattern built around much older residents. Respite is available for planned breaks and at shorter notice after illness or hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The only reliable way to judge a care home is to walk into it, so please come and visit Larchfield, talk to residents and ask us whatever you want to know.

    • Nursing Home
    • Care Home

    Wykebeck Court in Leeds offers both residential and nursing care, with qualified nurses on duty at all times. We care for older people and younger adults, including many people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Having both kinds of care under one roof matters more than it may sound. When somebody's health changes, they do not necessarily have to move again and start over with strangers, and that continuity is worth a great deal to people and to their families. Nursing here means steady attention to the things that keep a person comfortable and well: medicines, mobility, nutrition and hydration, skin, continence and pain, reviewed properly and discussed with the person and their family rather than handled quietly in the background. We involve GPs, district nurses and specialists early rather than late. Around that, ordinary life carries on. People rise when they wake, keep their own furniture and photographs about them, choose where to spend the day and eat food that suits their taste as well as any clinical need. With dementia we rely on knowing somebody well, so we gather a person's history with their family and keep adding to it. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.

    • Care Home

    Hillcrest Residential Home is in Leeds. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia, and some younger adults. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. We will deal with the rating first, because you will find it anyway and burying it would be insulting. The Care Quality Commission last rated us requires improvement overall. We are not going to dispute it or dress it up. An inspection records what was there on the day, and the work of putting it right is ours and nobody else's. There is an action plan, the people who commission care from us know exactly where we have reached with it, and we would much rather take a family through the detail in person than hand over a sentence written to reassure. The daily work of the home carries on. Washing and dressing, medicines on time, meals that are hot and worth eating, and help to move about safely. For residents with dementia we keep routines steady and the surroundings familiar, and nothing is moved without a reason. If you are considering us for a relative, come and look. Ask the hard questions, ask where we have reached with the plan, and speak to families who are already here.

    • Care Home

    The Manor House Roundhay is a residential care home in Leeds. We support older people, including many living with dementia, and we also welcome people for respite stays when a family carer needs a break or someone needs a period of recovery after a stay in hospital. We are a house rather than a facility, and we try to run it that way. People get up when they wake, eat what they actually like, keep their own furniture and photographs in their rooms, and decide for themselves how to spend the day. Some want company and activity from breakfast onwards. Others want a newspaper, a window seat and to be left in peace. Both are entirely reasonable and we plan around the person in front of us. For those living with dementia, consistency is the thing that helps most, so we keep routines steady and our staff familiar, and we take the time to understand what someone is telling us even when the words have become difficult. Families are part of this. We encourage visiting, we are honest when something has changed and we would rather call early than wait. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. That reflects steady everyday practice rather than anything showy, which is how we prefer it. If you are looking at care homes in Leeds for a relative, you are welcome to come and see us, meet the team and have a proper look around.

Arranging and funding a dementia care home place in Leeds

The administrative side of a move into a dementia care home tends to run slower than the illness does, which is the strongest argument for beginning it early. Nothing about an assessment commits a family to anything, and it gives you information you would otherwise be guessing at.

Requesting a care needs assessment

Any adult who appears to need care and support is entitled to a free assessment, whatever their savings, including someone whose dementia was diagnosed only recently. Arrange one through Leeds City Council Adult Social Care, the authority responsible for assessments and funded support in this area. A practitioner will consider memory and orientation, personal care, mobility, medication, eating and drinking and risks such as walking out at night or leaving the gas on, then record the support identified in writing. A partner or adult child providing that care daily should ask for a carer's assessment of their own at the same time.

What dementia care costs

A financial assessment then measures income, savings and capital against thresholds set nationally to establish whether the authority contributes towards fees. Dementia care often carries a higher weekly rate than general residential care, because it calls for closer supervision and more staff time. Ask each home for its fees in writing, be clear about which extras sit outside the weekly figure, and ask directly what happens to the fee as needs increase, since with dementia they generally do.

Choosing between dementia care homes in Leeds

Forty nine homes is far more than anyone can visit, so the list has to be cut down on paper first. Dementia registration, distance from family and the inspection record do that job better than photographs of the garden. Distance deserves more weight than families usually give it, because a home that is easy to reach on an ordinary weekday is the one that gets visited often, and frequent visitors remain the best safeguard any resident has.

Registration and the inspection picture

Confirm first that a home is registered with the Care Quality Commission for dementia care, then turn to what inspectors said. One home here holds an Outstanding rating and thirty one are rated Good, while twelve are rated Requires Improvement and five have not been rated. For dementia, read what the report says about whether the service is caring and responsive, since that is where the texture of daily life appears. Check the date of the visit and ask any home that has been marked down what has changed since.

What to watch for when you visit

Go in the afternoon, when tiredness and agitation are often at their worst, and stay long enough to see a difficult moment handled. Watch whether people are approached calmly and by name, whether residents can walk about safely, and whether the layout makes it easy to find the lavatory or a way outside. Ask what dementia training staff receive, how many carers are on duty overnight, how stable the team has been and how a new resident is supported through the first fortnight.

Frequently asked questions about dementia care homes in Leeds

How many dementia care homes are there in Leeds?

Leeds has 54 CQC registered care homes that are registered for dementia care, out of 92 CQC registered care homes in Leeds: 1 Outstanding, 34 Good, 14 Requires improvement, 5 not yet rated. Counts come from the CQC register and are kept up to date as ratings change.

Which dementia care homes in Leeds were inspected most recently?

Alexandra Court Residential Home (18 September 2026), Carr Croft Care Home (11 September 2026) and Rievaulx House Care Centre (24 August 2026) have the most recent CQC reports.

Can Leeds City Council fund a dementia care home placement?

It can where a needs assessment shows residential dementia care is appropriate and a financial assessment supports it. Income, savings and capital are compared with nationally set thresholds to work out who pays and how much. Where funding is agreed, the authority may arrange the placement itself or contribute towards fees at a home the family has chosen. If that home costs more than the agreed rate, a third party may be asked to meet the difference.

How is a care needs assessment arranged in Leeds?

Contact Leeds City Council and ask for an adult social care needs assessment, by telephone or through its website. The assessment is free and open to anyone who appears to need care and support, whatever their financial position. A practitioner will discuss memory, daily living, mobility, medication and safety at home, usually during a visit. Their written record sets out the support identified and forms the basis for any funding decision.

How early should a family start looking at dementia care homes?

Months rather than weeks ahead, because dementia often changes gradually and then very suddenly. Assessments take time to organise, and homes with a good reputation for dementia care frequently have waiting lists. Looking early also lets your relative share in the decision while they are still able to, which many families find matters greatly afterwards. Two or three unhurried visits made now will make a later move calmer for everyone.

Which dementia care homes in Leeds are listed on this page?

54 residential care homes appear here, each registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide accommodation with personal care for people living with dementia. One is rated Outstanding and thirty one are rated Good, while twelve are rated Requires Improvement and five have not yet been inspected. Every entry links to a profile carrying the rating, registration categories and inspection history. Checking dementia registration is the first filter to apply before anything else.

What should I ask when visiting a dementia care home in Leeds?

Ask what dementia specific training staff receive and how often it is repeated. Ask how the home responds when someone becomes distressed, and what is tried before medication is considered. Find out how many carers are on duty overnight, how long the team has been together and how a new resident is helped through the first weeks. Request the weekly fee in writing along with everything charged separately, and ask what happens to it as needs grow.

What is the difference between a dementia care home and a dementia nursing home?

A dementia care home provides accommodation and personal care from staff trained to support people living with dementia. A dementia nursing home offers the same and additionally keeps registered nurses on site at all hours for clinical needs. The homes listed on this page are registered for residential rather than nursing care. Where dementia is advanced and accompanied by medical needs such as complex medication or difficulty swallowing, look for a nursing registration.
