About Harlington House

Harlington House is a residential care home in the historic city of York, offering a calm and supportive environment for those who call it home. Families searching for the right place for their loved one will find a setting where genuine care and human connection sit at the heart of everything. York's rich community life and welcoming surroundings add to the sense that residents here are very much part of something bigger than just a care setting.

Harlington House provides personal care for up to 17 people with mental health needs or learning disability across two buildings on the same site: a three-storey converted property with individual flats, and a modern two-floor lodge. At inspection, 12 people were using the service.

Staff supported people to achieve their aspirations and goals, promoting independence and choice in daily life. People received support with medicines in ways that maximised their independence and health outcomes. Staff helped individuals plan for their futures and develop skills to support their long-term wellbeing and community involvement.
