Providing innovative care and respite care in Scarborough
Do you have experience of working in the care sector? We will further train and develop the right person.
Why Join us?
Orchard House Care Home is a family-owned care home located in Scarborough, North Yorkshire that specialises respite care and long-term care.
As the day care hub flourished and we got to know our visitors' families and carers, one thing became abundantly clear: there was a lack of good quality respite care available locally, and the people we were supporting, and their families needed more than just a few hours' respite per week. Subsequently in 2019, we proudly opened our six-bed residential home. Now at Orchard House, we can truly support people through a care journey that meets their needs for respite care and long-term care.
At Orchard House, we pride ourselves on our person-centred approach to care.
We are registered with the Care Quality Commission as a residential care home for younger adults, people aged over 65, and for dementia care.
