Accommodation and Facilities

St John’s House Residential Care Home was originally built in 1910 and the attractive Tudor style building has been completely refurbished to provide modern, luxurious facilities within a classic setting.

Situated in the stunning village of Kirk Hammerton, on the outskirts of York, this tranquil setting is home to 34 residents.

All the rooms are en-suite and residents can also access several lounges, dining rooms and reception rooms, as well as our amazing two acres of beautiful country grounds.

Our unique, inclusive care packages, for private fee payers, offer everything from personal grooming and family dining events to therapeutic and holistic treatments.

We also have a Resident Loan Fund which enables residents to keep a small personal float in the home so they can make small purchases without the worry of carrying cash.

And as we understand how important it is to feel connected to family and friends, we have a family WhatsApp group and a monthly newsletter tailored specifically to each resident.

What our residents and families say about St John’s House...

A well-managed care home with wonderful caring staff. Very clean and tidy and kept that way by the fastidious cleaning staff and maintenance team. The activities organizer makes sure everyone is included and works hard to make sure there are activities every day. The outside space is very well kept and a lovely place to be in warmer weather.

Anita, daughter of resident

Mum has been a resident for four and a half years here, and I am glad that we chose St. Johns. The staff are caring and approachable and there is always some activity or trip out to keep residents occupied. Mum feels comfortable and well cared for, the house is extremely comfortable and clean with good food and companionship.

Brenda, daughter of resident

St John’s is well run and as a family, we are kept up to date on Mum which is very reassuring. Making this choice for my Mum was the best thing we did. We are so pleased with the care she receives and always with a smile.

Janet, daughter of resident

St John’s House is an impressive property set in beautifully maintained grounds with summer houses, patios and plentiful seating areas for warmer weather. The home itself is tastefully decorated with a comfortable lounge, various dining areas, and seating areas with views over the gardens. Everywhere is clean, light, and airy and staff go above and beyond to deliver excellent care to all residents in a kind, friendly, and professional manner.

Mandy, daughter of resident

St Johns is a wonderful home with wonderful staff. Standards at St John’s are extremely high and the care is second to none. The staff goes above and beyond to provide a safe, warm, welcoming and loving environment and nothing is too much trouble. There are always lots of activities and opportunities to socialise inside and outside the home and the catering team are excellent.

Liz, daughter of resident

Friendly and caring staff in a warm and welcoming home from home. The care that Mum receives is exemplary – not only from the front-of-house staff but from everyone on the team – housekeeping, catering, maintenance, etc. Nothing is too much trouble. We are delighted that we found such a safe and beautiful home.
