The Home and Its Staff:
Ings Grove House is a modern, 40 bed Care facility located in the village of Mirfield. The home works in partnership with Locala Health Care to support the residents of Kirklees who have been discharged from hospital and require short term rehabilitation care.
Ings Grove House has 4 suites where residents stay (Bluebell, Willow, Blossom and Lavender), all decorated to feel like a home from home, including items such as framed paintings that one of our talented past residents painted specially for us. With fantastic spotless facilities such as lounge areas and dining rooms, a rehab kitchen, a gym, and an onsite GP, our residents feedback tell us that they feel safe, secure, and supported as individuals.
Our staff are skilled and compassionate when supporting residents with their journey back to independence. Our person-centred care plans and rehabilitation program promotes dignity and choice, to optimise their life skills prior to their planned discharge. In the meantime, our team work hard to ensure the residents remain at the centre of all that we do, often going the extra mile to make our residents stay with us as comfortable as possible, providing person centred activities and celebrating special occasions and birthdays.
