Summary of report content

Healthwatch Calderdale and Healthwatch Kirklees undertook an enter and view visit to Aden Court Care Home on 18 November 2025.

Aden Court seemed like a happy and calm place to live. Residents seemed relaxed, and the staff interactions Healthwatch observed were kind and considerate. At times, there were delays in responding to residents’ needs when staff were occupied with other tasks, and some residents reflected that having more staff would help them receive support more quickly. 

 While staff were doing their best to offer some activities, it was clear that residents would benefit from more structured and consistent opportunities for meaningful occupation each day. 

Overall, Healthwatch found the visit to Aden Court positive. The manager was open to feedback and appeared well respected by staff, who told us they feel supported in their roles.
