Local knowledge across Huddersfield

Huddersfield is the largest town in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees, sitting where the Colne and Holme valleys meet in West Yorkshire. Care needs vary widely across its communities, from the terraced streets of Lockwood, Marsh and Paddock close to the town centre, to Lindley and Birkby to the north west, Fartown and Deighton to the north, and Almondbury and Moldgreen to the east. Out towards the Pennine hills the picture changes again in villages such as Golcar, Milnsbridge, Honley, Meltham and Holmfirth, where narrow lanes and rural distances shape the kind of support a family needs. We tailor care to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

The town is covered by the HD postcode area, running from HD1 in the centre out through HD2 to HD9 across the surrounding valleys and villages. Above the town centre stands Victoria Tower on Castle Hill, the Victorian monument that dominates the skyline and remains one of the best known landmarks in the district, a useful reminder of just how hilly Huddersfield can be for anyone helping a relative get out and about.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary on Acre Street in Lindley, which is run by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams to make the move from hospital to home as smooth as possible.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Kirklees Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
