My brother has been in Kirklees for 4 years now. He is treated with respect and dignity by all of the staff and they are very patient with him. It is as near to a family environment as possible and for this, we, his family are extremely grateful. I am kept updated on all aspects of his care and decisions which need to be made, are made together. The manager is excellent and I am always made to feel extremely welcome when visiting Kirklees to both see my brother or to discuss his care.

All the staff and managers are so helpful and friendly. They go above and beyond to help the needs of all the residents and their families they can never do enough so friendly. They are always doing something with the residents taking them out and having entertainment for them. They will be getting ready for Christmas now, they never stop, so so pleased with the care and attention they put in, thank you so much.

Was worried when my sister was moved from her long-term care home to Kirklees as she was settled at her old place. But I had no need to worry, as she has easily settled, and is very happy there. The staff are very caring, friendly, and understanding, and as visiting is difficult for her family, they supply transport for home visits, which is very kind and considerate. It's a weight off my mind that she is so well cared for, and my sister talks enthusiastically about her life, residents and the staff, and can only thank them for making the transition so easy for her.

Staff are always in uniform so service users can identify them. My daughter is always clean and looked after how I would look after her when she visits. They always try and make sure my daughter has something to eat as she is an awkward eater by going out of their way to cook her something different.

My brother-in-law has been a resident full time now for coming up to 2 years. Before that, he came for respite for the odd weekend. I've always found the staff very friendly and helpful. If toiletries are needed or pads they ring in advance. During COVID the staff have worked extremely hard and have always allowed me to see him through the window. The staff must be finding it difficult to wear PPE constantly but they are always smiling. They do try and involve my brother-in-law in activities although he's not always keen. The food and standard of hygiene is excellent. I have no concerns with my brother-in-law's care.

My sister has been a resident at Kirklees for a number of years and the care and consideration of the staff is second to none. They frequently have activities to interact with residents especially music nights when a local duo go in to sing which they all love. The food is also excellent. If any questions arise regarding care the manager will do her utmost to resolve. My sister is very happy living at Kirklees.

Happy with the care given to my sister by all the staff and management. They try really hard to get my sister engaged in activities which is quite difficult. My sister has required different types of special equipment to meet her needs that includes a special chair. This has made a huge difference to my sister and is also helping to prevent her legs and ankles from swelling. They provide good food and are quite happy to accommodate the type of meals that my sister will eat. Overall I have confidence that my sister is being well cared for.

As a personal friend of the service user for 80 years, I know that he is very happy with his accommodation and is settled in very nicely. He has lived here for 7 years and feels very confident that he is happy which is the only thing that matters and this makes me happy.
