About Wheldale Heights
Wheldale Heights provides nurse-led care for adults with complex needs in a community-based home. Its specialist offer includes dementia and neurological care, alongside support for physical disabilities and Huntington’s disease.
The service combines nursing support with a multidisciplinary approach, positive behaviour support, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Activities are personalised, and community involvement can include trips and shared experiences. This makes the home relevant to adults whose needs may be too complex for standard residential provision. The central distinction is nurse-led care for adults with complex needs.

Questions families ask
How much does Wheldale Heights cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Wheldale Heights for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wakefield council paid on average £1,105 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Wheldale Heights whether it takes residents funded by Wakefield council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
