It’s your care, your way, every day. That’s the Bronte way.

Bronte House is a lifestyle choice. We know that older people and people living with dementia want to live in the comfort and familiarity of their own home for as long as possible. Our commitment is to support you to achieve this and to continue to live your life to the full.

Passionate about making a difference to the lives of older people, people living with dementia and those that support them, Bronte House provides compassionate, dignified and innovative care, and specialist dementia care in York and the surrounding areas. Our care is tailored around the unique needs, preferences and choices of each individual. We’re a small, local and independent home care service in York with an uncompromising commitment to delivering the highest quality care.

We co-produced Bronte House to ensure it was designed around what you want, need and expect. We took time to learn about your experiences, what is important to you, and what is needed to improve dementia care. We are incredibly grateful for this invaluable feedback which has shaped the development and direction of Bronte House. To learn more about our research, please visit the ‘Feedback’ page.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss how Bronte House could support you, please do get in touch. I would love to hear from you.
