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.

The Big Day! 🎁🎄

After over a month of festive build up, it was finally the big day and we all enjoyed a very Merry Christmas here at the Chocolate Works!

We started the day off with a special visit from Mrs Claus who delivered us all presents, then of course we tucked into our delicious Christmas Dinner complete with all the trimmings😋🍽️

A really lovely day which ended in full hearts and full tummys🤗💜

The perfect way to spend Christmas Eve💜🎄

This afternoon we had the pleasure of welcoming a local family from our community to share their love for music and Christmas as they performed some Carols for us!

We even got a taste of an Argentinian Christmas as they shared some traditional festive songs from their home country🇦🇷🎶

We are so thankful they visited and can’t wait for them to return in the New Year☺️

Giving back to our Community💜🎁

Over the past month, we have been collecting gift donations for the Children at York District Hospital who wont be able to get home for Christmas.

We always love giving back to others, especially around Christmas time we try to spread love and joy to all🎄

A huge thank you to anyone who donated a gift or some money, it was hugely appreciated by both ourselves and the staff and children at York Hospital💜

Christmas Jumper Day 2025☺️🎄

Today residents and staff all wore their best Christmas Jumpers, dresses and T-shirts to really get us in the festive spirit!

Some of them lit up, others were vintage and some were very ‘punny’🤭😅

We had a prize for best dressed, which was a landslide decision to award to our lovely Senior Care Assistant Chelsea! 🎄

We had the most heart-warming visit from the children and staff of Little Green Rascals Bishopthorpe. Their festive energy lit up our home, and our residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. 🎄💖✨ xx
