Chocolate Works Care Village

Chocolate Works Care Village Our dedicated team provides high-quality residential, dementia, nursing and short-term respite care. When we say this is a village, we mean it.

The Chocolate Works Care Village, York is a unique care community set in a lovingly restored, iconic building (the former headquarters of Terry's of York chocolate factory). offering a place you can call home while receiving the care that you need. Within the complex we’ve carefully chosen a vast array of amenities. The result is everything you could need to relax, socialise, stay active and even spoil yourself – all on your doorstep. An internal market square features a shop, a café, a restaurant and a bistro. And depending what mood you, your family and your visitors are in, there’s a hairdressing salon, a gym, a cinema room, a nail bar, a hydrotherapy suite and a sweet shop to enjoy. We even have our own on-site pub, The Duke of York.

Fresh Air, Natures Medicine💙

Even when it’s a bit chilly outside, here at The Chocolate Works we still like to get outside as much as possible!

We are so lucky to have the beautiful Peace Gardens on our doorstep! We love watching the squirrels running around, and seeing all of the flowers starting to bloom 🌸🌻

Valentines Party 🥳❤️

At The Chocolate Works we know how to celebrate in style! So of course we had to throw a Valentines Party to celebrate all things love❤️

We were joined by the amazing Richard & Honey who played a mixture of love songs and some biggest hits of the 50s and 60s, then we were treated to Honey’s signature tricks at the end! 🐾

We topped off the afternoon with love potion cocktails and a buffet provided by our amazing kitchen team. A fantastic afternoon had by all😊❤️

We’ve loved hosting the Parkinson’s UK York group at Chocolate Works Care Village today for a wonderful music therapy session 🎶

It was a fantastic morning filled with music, movement and plenty of smiles, and we were delighted to welcome everyone into the home. We also made sure there were refreshments available so everyone could relax, chat and enjoy some time together after the session.

A big thank you to Parkinson’s UK York for joining us — we’re always proud to open our doors and support groups in the local community 💛
