Thomas Owen House

Thomas Owen House in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, is a specialist nursing care home providing high quality, continuing care for people who have long term mental health problems.

The home is a long term care facility which attempts to maximise the quality of life for very vulnerable adults who may suffer from a variety of problems. These include cognitive impairment, brain injury as a result of long term alcohol dependence, Korsakoff’s syndrome, trauma or other pathology, personality disorder, bi polar and bi polar affective disorder, schizophrenic type illness and depression. We normally work with people who have had failed placements elsewhere because their behaviour has been challenging.

The home is set within pleasant grounds. The original building has been significantly added to over the years creating a horseshoe building which surrounds our beautiful landscaped garden. The shape of the building offers not only plenty of space to walk around but also provides many different seating areas and places to relax.

Thomas Owen House can accommodate up to 35 people, the majority of rooms being large and offering double beds and en-suite facilities. We have a continual renovation programme to ensure space, dignity and privacy can be enjoyed by our people.

The central garden is understandably a focal point of the home and is much loved by our residents. Our large dining rooms and conservatories offer not only excellent access to the gardens but also provide significant edge space for our people’s enjoyment.

We have recreational facilities such as a pool table and beauty spa room as well as an exercise area and equipment.

We provide a safe, supportive and homely environment where people have a sense of belonging and where each individual is recognised and valued as a full member of society.
