About Sun Woodhouse Care Home

Sun Woodhouse Care Home is a residential care home in Kirklees, providing care for older people. Further details on the service can be found in the CQC findings below.

Sun Woodhouse accommodates up to 24 older people, with 17 residents at the time of inspection, most living with dementia. The service's lift had not been adequately maintained and lacked required safety checks, posing a risk to residents. This issue was remedied following the July 2023 inspection.

The home conducts regular audits, with the regional operations manager visiting to produce reports. Staff reported that the home's culture had improved since the current manager joined, indicating positive developments in the working environment and approach to care.
