About The Old Chapel Care Home
The Old Chapel Care Home offers long-term residential care, respite care and convalescence following illness. It supports older people, younger adults and people with dementia or physical disabilities, with care plans reviewed as needs change.
The former chapel and community centre now provides a small residential setting for fifteen residents. Each person has a bright room with an en-suite wet room and toilet, and meals are freshly prepared three times a day with snacks and drinks available. Residents can continue hobbies and join games, musical entertainment, pet therapy visits and other activities. Convalescence following illness makes the home relevant for people needing support while recovering before deciding on longer-term arrangements.

How much does The Old Chapel Care Home cost?

As a guide, Wakefield council paid on average £805 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.
