Highfield Care Centre

Nestled in the quaint village of Allerton Bywater, at the crossroads of Wakefield, Castleford, and Leeds, Highfield Care Centre emerges as a modern residential care home for those seeking good, home-from-home care amidst the beauty of semi-rural West Yorkshire. This purpose-built facility shines as a beacon of care and support for older individuals, combining the serenity of village life with easy access to the wider region’s amenities and transport links.

Our 88 ensuite bedrooms are sanctuaries of peace and comfort, each furnished to a good standard to ensure your utmost tranquillity. At Highfield Care Centre, your independence and personal expression are valued above all. We encourage each resident to furnish their space with personal touches—making each room not just a place to stay, but a place to call home.

Highfield Care Centre is more than a care home; it’s a vibrant community where the golden years of life are enriched with care, laughter, and activity. Our person-centred approach places every resident’s health and well-being at the core of our ethos, ensuring a life lived fully and joyfully in a supportive environment.

Our home is alive with opportunities for engagement, personal growth, and joy. From the pampering sessions in our beauty salon to the serene enjoyment of our gardens and terraces, every aspect of Highfield Care Centre is designed to support independence and well-being. The Garden Room Café offers a perfect spot for relaxing with friends over a cup of tea, while our active schedule of activities—ranging from arts and crafts to exercise classes and musical performances—ensures that every resident finds something to inspire and engage them.

At Highfield Care Centre, meal times are a comforting routine. Our in-house chefs prepare simple, nourishing dishes using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. The menus offer a variety of home-style classics and a selection of international dishes, ensuring each meal is both familiar and enjoyable. It’s a casual dining experience that brings everyone together in a warm, friendly atmosphere, where the care team are always available to support.

Situated within the historical and picturesque setting of Allerton Bywater, with its legacy of community and resilience, Highfield Care Centre invites new residents from Wakefield, Castleford, Leeds, and beyond to experience a care home that truly feels like family. Here, amidst the legacy of the Allerton Bywater Colliery and the gentle flow of the River Aire, we offer a place not just to live, but to thrive.
