About St Catherine's Care Home
A purpose-built home dedicated to dementia care, St Catherine's Care Home supports older people and younger adults living with dementia in York. The home focuses specifically on dementia support, with its environment designed around the needs associated with a dementia diagnosis.
St Catherine’s forms part of Wellburn Care’s dedicated dementia provision. The organisation distinguishes this home’s general dementia care from The Manor at St Catherine’s, which supports people with young onset dementia. Families comparing specialist settings can therefore consider St Catherine’s where a dedicated dementia environment is the central requirement.

How much does St Catherine's Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Catherine's Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Yorkshire council paid on average £1,274 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.
