Grassington House is a friendly place. We provide home cooked food and a variety of activities to stimulate minds and keep bodies active. Every week we visit town for whatever it is our residents would like to do; whether it be shopping, perusing the local market, going for a coffee or even a swift half!
We want out residents to truly feel part of the local community. We work with our residents to plan appropriate care packages to maintain the highest level of independence, choice and control. Our person-centred approach encourages confidence, positive self-esteem, respect and dignity. Find out more about how we care smarter.

Our small and friendly team of care staff are more like our extended family at Grassington House. We and the residents here really get to know the staff. Our staff are trained regularly to ensure they have the knowledge, skills and information to work with residents and visitors alike.
All staff are trained not just to the Regulatory standards but also actively take part in regular training on a variety of other subjects to meet the current specific care needs of the residents we care for.We also work closely with our carers to identify specific areas of care they have a passion for and help them train, develop and become champions in these areas.

Hi, I'm Megan Read; Proprietor, Managing Director and Registered Manager of Grassington House. Our staff are now able to record care records on the go, in the company of the residents. The quality of the records are now outstanding meaning more effective care can be communicated and given. Nourish is the system we use to record all of our care notes, assessments and care plans.

Grassington House is a wonderful example of how a care-home can provide a well organised and professional service within a family atmosphere. The staff really care about the health and comfort of their residents and work very hard to ensure a stimulating programme. Continually engaging with people in their twilight years is a very challenging and exhausting process but the staff at Grassington House manage to do it with tremendous good humour. A variety of trips as well as fund-raising activities for a host of good causes is well illustrated in the gallery of photographs on display in the care
