About
Straven House Care Home is a listed building in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, dating from 1873. It was converted from a family house into a care home over 30 years ago and has kept its homely layout and atmosphere. The home stands on the edge of the Wharfe valley, at the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales, and has 24 registered beds.
It provides residential care and day care for older people, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. A choice of menu is offered at each mealtime, and individually prepared, nutritionally balanced texture-modified meals are available for residents who have difficulty swallowing. Visitors may join residents for a meal by arrangement. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2020 report.
