Our Building and Facilities

Walk through our main entrance to be greeted by the beautifully restored original staircase and stained-glass domed ceiling over our reception area, then take a walk down our reminiscence corridor which hosts the story of Terry’s as well as the history of Springfield Healthcare, setting the scene before you enter our thriving 450sqm atrium with its original glazed roof.

The glazed atrium brings the outside in with its stunning natural daylight, trees, shops, Albert’s Café, spa and hairdressing salon, it even has its own fully licensed pub – The Duke of York! And at night the ambience changes with mood lighting and fairy lights.  Overlooking the atrium is the mezzanine area featuring Andrea’s Bistro together with a variety of spaces to sit back, relax or observe.  Alternatively take part in any of the many activities on offer from our experienced and caring wellbeing and activities team.

With 82 individually designed care rooms for residential, nursing and dementia care alongside 8 larger care suites designed for those capable of living a little more independently, The Chocolate Works Village, York, really is something very special indeed.

Description

The care rooms at The Chocolates Works are individual in their layout and full of character as a result of the sympathetic and detailed restoration that has taken place. Varying in size, most of them larger than average, with tall ceilings, original windows streaming with light and en-suite wet rooms, our dedicated team of designers have thought of everything.

There are 9 variations in bedroom colour schemes and we hope you make it a special place by adding in your personal treasures.

The Chocolate Works Care Village was designed to deliver high quality person centred care, with large day spaces, small communities and all rooms being designed to include ‘en-suite’ facilities for residents. These are all important components for ensuring and maintaining personal space throughout the home.

Activities Are So Important

Every day brings a wealth of opportunities to enjoy life at The Chocolate Works Care Village. For us, it is a priority to provide an array of activities to guarantee that there is something for everyone to enjoy; from crafts, pub quizzes, fitness and music sessions, discussion groups, visits from Knavesmire primary school and trips with York Bike Belles.

Our dedicated wellbeing & activities team work around the clock to ensure that there is always something to keep our residents active and engaged. We offer a wealth of opportunities for our residents and to guarantee and encourage meaningful engagement, the team consider all aspects of an individual resident; nationality, religion or culture are likely to have a major influence on preferences for music, food, clothes and everyday routines to name a few things. We call this person-centred care .. it’s all about the individual.

Start the day with a toasted teacake and a cup of tea with a neighbour at Albert’s Café in the atrium, enjoy an art activity, a game of chess or do some gardening on our beautiful rooftop terrace before meeting a friend or relative for lunch at our very own pub, The Duke of York.  Watch a movie in the afternoon in our art deco styled cinema and share an evening meal with fellow residents.  We aim to provide a wide range of activities and therapies with something to suit everyone, not forgetting our on-site gym and hairdresser.

Whatever you enjoy doing in your free time, our dedicated staff are on hand to make sure that you live life as independently as possible at The Chocolate Works and with dignity and grace.
