Manager's notes:Grove House is an innovative Care concept, developed by the long standing Abbeyfield Ilkley Society, which is a departure from the traditional Abbeyfield facilities. Grove House offers a range of services aimed at the older frailer person, but also covering the full spectrum of care and supportive housing with Abbeyfield working in partnership with local Caring Agencies.

We also run an Internet café with Age Concern, to teach older people to use the Internet. In the acitvity room we have classes running for many interests of older people: painting, singing, keep-fit, cookery, table tennis, languages, for use of those who live at Grove House and those who live in the local community.
