Compare Care Homes In Wakefield

Wakefield is known for its close-knit community feel. Care homes here reflect this, with many organising trips to popular destinations such as Thornes Park or Pugneys Country Park - ideal for accessible walks or meeting loved ones for a cup of tea on a sunny bench. Others have strong connections with local healthcare facilities, with Pinderfields Hospital being the main hub for hospital-based care.

In Wakefield, staying in a care home typically costs around £1,000 to £1,100 per week. Nursing care is usually more expensive, with 24/7 care and monitoring provided by registered nurses, while residential care focuses on daily support for those who are still fairly independent, but would benefit from help with tasks like using the bathroom and getting dressed.

Manor Park provides all of these on a permanent or temporary basis and is managed by the Maria Mallaband Care Group, one of the country’s most reliable operators. Cost is also determined by facilities, and these often include sensory gardens, bright lounges for socialising, and hobby spaces used for daily activities such as painting workshops, baking clubs, film afternoons, or gentle movement classes.

Several homes are also well-suited to couples, offering spacious suites and adjoining rooms. And for families, Wakefield homes have flexible visiting and family lounges, while some also arrange regular events that bring relatives and residents together - from garden barbecues to film afternoons.

Whatever you’re specifically looking for, you can feel confident in the options listed above, with each regulated by Care Quality Commission (CQC) and reviewed by our in-house Care Experts - people with real experience in adult social care. We remove the stress from this often difficult period - with honest advice and experienced support every step of the way.
