About Grimston Court
Grimston Court provides residential, dementia and respite care for older people in a Grade II Jacobean-style country home. Its care is tailored to individual needs, with round-the-clock support and regular reviews involving families, health professionals and the resident when circumstances change.
Inside, oak-panelled rooms and ornate ceilings create a traditional setting, while the grounds offer lawned gardens and space to spend time outdoors. Residents can bring furniture and pictures to personalise their rooms, and families can visit or join activities. Private grounds provide a quiet setting for a home that combines historic character with specialist care.

How much does Grimston Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Grimston Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, York council paid on average £1,018 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
