Local knowledge across Halifax

Halifax is the largest town in Calderdale, a former wool and textile centre set in the steep Pennine valleys of West Yorkshire. Its communities are varied, from the hillside terraces of Boothtown, Ovenden and Illingworth to the grander Victorian villas around Savile Park and Skircoat, and out to Sowerby Bridge, Elland, Brighouse and Northowram. The town centre is anchored by the beautifully restored Piece Hall, the Georgian cloth hall that reopened as a landmark for the whole region. Care needs are just as varied as the streets they sit on, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

Postcodes across the area run through the HX district, from HX1 in the town centre out to HX2 around Illingworth and Luddenden, HX3 towards Hipperholme and Northowram, and beyond towards Elland, Sowerby Bridge and Hebden Bridge. Wherever a family is based, we can arrange a Care Professional who understands the local geography, including the reality that many homes here sit on hills and narrow lanes that ask a little more of a carer's day.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Calderdale Royal Hospital in Salterhebble, the main acute hospital run by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams to keep recovery on track.

Adult social care in the area is overseen by Calderdale Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can contact the council's Gateway to Care service to ask for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
