About care homes in Castleford

Care quality in Castleford is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which inspects every care home and publishes a rating. Across the rated homes here, about 75% are rated Good or Outstanding (12 rated Good, 4 that Requires improvement). We show each home's current CQC rating and link to its full inspection report, so you can read the regulator's findings before you enquire.

The type of care a home is registered to provide matters as much as its rating. In Castleford, 7 are registered for dementia care, 5 for nursing care, 7 for learning disability and autism support, 4 for mental health needs. Many homes are registered for more than one type of care, so a dementia care home in Castleford may also offer residential or nursing care.

Care home fees in Castleford depend on the type of care and how the place is funded. As a guide, self-funded residential care in Yorkshire and the Humber typically runs to several hundred pounds a week, with nursing and specialist dementia care costing more. If the person needing care has limited savings, the local authority in West Yorkshire may contribute, and the NHS funds the healthcare element of nursing care through NHS-funded nursing care or, for the highest needs, NHS Continuing Healthcare. Fees are not held in the CQC record, so confirm the current weekly fee directly with each Castleford home.
