Kerrie, Leeds Customer Care Team, who are we?
How we’re keeping our residents safe from coronavirus (COVID-19)
As ever, the care and safety of our residents and our people continues to be our highest priority during these unprecedented times. That’s why we’re doing everything we can to look after our residents and their loved ones.
We’re following strict infection control measures in all our homes
Be assured we’re taking extra measures to prevent the spread of infection in each of our homes, including frequent deep cleaning and rolling out testing for our staff and residents.
We have all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
All our homes have been supplied with the necessary supplies of PPE, and our in-house procurement team is ready to source further supplies if needed.
We’re keeping residents and their loved ones connected
We’re doing everything we can to keep our residents connected to their loved ones and the wider community, from video calls to letters and our new Bupa Buddy service.
For the latest updates, support and guidance on coronavirus (COVID-19) please visit our information hub.
Take a video tour of our care home
Discover everything you need to know about our home with our latest video tour. It’ll give you an overview of our home, from the care we provide to the facilities on offer, with photography of the bedrooms and living areas too.
Nursing and recovery in a distinctive setting
Nestled in a 1900’s manor house, residents can make ample use of the space provided to socialise with a drink or unwind with a good book. We encourage residents to bring their own possessions to make it that bit more personal.
Great places to socialise, enjoy an activity or have quiet time
We have multiple cosy spaces that residents can participate in a variety of activities. We encourage them to do what they want to do, so if that is spending some quiet time then we have spaces to accommodate this.
Enjoy conversation and drinks in our open conservatory
We have a comfy selection of chairs in our open conservatory that provides plenty of natural light.
Walk amongst our stunning garden
During the summer, residents can sit outside with a refreshing drink while chatting to their loved ones, or they can spend some time feeding the birds.
There’s no typical day at Kilfillan House, but we arrange plenty to do, both here at the home as well as out and about.
Visit the local village and sights such as Ashridge forest
There is plenty to see in the local village and we go on a variety of trips to the surrounding area.
Participate in seasonal and monthly themed events
We put on a variety of seasonal monthly events that our residents and the local community can get involved with.
Connect with the local community while learning new dances
We run a dance group with the local community that helps our residents learn something new and get involved with the community.
“Staff respected people's dignity and ensured they remained as independent as possible. People's privacy was maintained, for example staff were mindful of our presence while they supported and or communicated with people. People were encouraged to retain their independence and control as far as possible. We observed staff supported people in a patient and respectful manner, enabling them to complete tasks for themselves wherever possible.”
"I have recently been able to visit my mum in person again, and I'm very happy and impressed with the way my mum is being looked after. The staff are very kind, caring and seem to make my mum feels secure, less vulnerable and calmer. I think that the new manager is being very proactive by doing everything she can think of to ensure that my mum is as comfortable and content as possible. I am very relieved and grateful for this. I feel that the people in Kilfillan really care about Mum and want to improve her quality of life as much as possible."

"Very happy with Kilfillan and more importantly Dad is happy and settled there. He has improved health wise since he has been there and he is being really well looked after."
Daughter of Resident, 05 August 2021, carehome.co.uk
"Mum has been in Kilfillan House for 3 years. The care has always been good, but recently a new staff member has enhanced mum's care by his genuine and caring approach and I am delighted that he has joined this team. He is pleasant, calm, kind and always has time to update me on mum's progress."
