Opening of Park View Care Home

Lee Mount's newly developed Park View Care Home proudly celebrated its grand reopening with a special event on 13 May, 2025.

After two years of extensive redevelopment, the home has been transformed into a unique, open-plan, activity-based care environment, designed to meet the needs of older adults while creating a vibrant, welcoming space for residents and their families.

Park View Care Home, the sister home to Lee Mount Care Home, represents a significant investment in the local community and is set to provide residential, respite, and dementia care services in a modern and compassionate setting.

The care home has now welcomed its first residents and care team, setting a new standard in specialist dementia and elderly care.

The home features a purpose-built, open-plan layout informed by leading dementia research—encouraging independence, reducing confusion, and fostering meaningful engagement. A skilled and compassionate team delivers 24/7 personalised care, ensuring each resident feels safe, supported, and truly valued.

Among the standout facilities are a 10-seater cinema with a 140-inch screen, a vibrant creative studio, an interactive therapy kitchen, and a dedicated sensory relaxation area. Residents can also enjoy the Halifax Legends Sports Bar, a self-serve café, a traditional sweet shop, a library, an indoor exercise area, and a beautifully landscaped sensory garden.

A memorable reopening celebration welcomed guests including the Mayor of Calderdale, Danielle Durrans; Howard Priestley of Phoenix FM 96.7; community leaders; and local residents. Attendees enjoyed a warm and lively atmosphere, with speeches, tours of the new facilities, and plenty of opportunities to share in the excitement of this new chapter.

The Mayor of Calderdale, Danielle Durrans, shared moving words at the ceremony:

“It is a real honour to join you today for the official opening of Park View, a new and much-needed care home here in Ovenden, and the proud sister home to Lee Mount Care Home.

This is a moment that holds personal meaning for me. In 2016, my own mother spent a couple of months at Lee Mount. During that time, our family saw first-hand what compassionate, personalised care truly looks like. The staff did not just provide support — they provided warmth, dignity, and genuine kindness. They made my mother feel at home, and for that I remain deeply grateful.

That same spirit now lives on here at Park View. This new home is not just a building; it is a promise — a promise to care for our older residents with the respect they deserve, to create a safe and welcoming space where they can thrive, and to support families during times of change.

The design, the attention to comfort, and most importantly, the people who will work here reflect a true commitment to excellence and heart. It is clear that Park View is not just about delivering care, but about building a real sense of home and community.

So to everyone who helped bring Park View to life — thank you. You are not only changing the care landscape here in Calderdale — you are making a difference in people’s lives every single day.

Congratulations, and welcome to Park View.”

Councillor Ann Kingston, who also attended, praised the home’s development in her post:

“I was invited to the opening of the new Park View Care Home, under the same ownership as Lee Mount Care Home. The facilities are wonderful — including a cinema, library, music room, café kitchen, creative centre, Players Bar, and a tuck shop.

The care they provide for their residents is something we are exceptionally proud of locally, and we recognise the impact this has for both residents and their families.”

Not all care homes are created equal — this Halifax-based dementia and elderly care home has been carefully designed to offer more: more comfort, more connection, more value, and more joy.

We’d love for you to book a visit to look around and see first-hand the warm, welcoming environment we’ve created.
