|As the evenings draw in and there's a definite chill in the air, thoughts naturally turn to cosy jumpers and comfy loungewear. Finding the perfect winter wardrobe can be a bit of a mission, but a local care home in Dewsbury is turning it into a fun, social occasion.
Ashworth Grange Care Home is throwing open its doors to the whole community for a special "Wrap Yourself in Winter Style" fashion event on Monday, 20th October at 2 pm. It's a chance for residents, their families, and neighbours to get together, have a chat, and browse some brilliant winter clothing.

A spot of retail therapy in Dewsbury
This isn't just any shopping trip. The fashion event promises an afternoon packed with fun, friendship, and of course, fashion. Forget trekking around the high street; this event brings a fantastic selection of seasonal winter wear right into the heart of the community. It's all about creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where people can find some stylish and practical pieces for the colder months.
There will be a huge range of clothing for both men and women. Think of it as a one-stop shop for all your winter needs. You can expect to find things like:
- Dresses and tops
- Trousers, skirts, and comfy lounge pants
- Snuggly cardigans and jumpers
- Pyjama sets and nighties
- Warm socks and slippers
- Essential underwear
Whether someone is looking to give their wardrobe a complete refresh or just pick up a few key pieces, there will be plenty to choose from. It's also a perfect opportunity to get a head start on the festive gift shopping. Imagine finding the perfect cosy jumper for a loved one, all while enjoying a lovely afternoon out. And don't worry about dashing to a cash machine - both cash and card payments will be accepted on the day, making it super easy for everyone to join in.
More than just a care home
Events like this are a brilliant example of what makes Ashworth Grange Care Home special. As part of the HC-One family, the home is deeply committed to building strong community ties. It's not just a place where residents live; it's a hub of activity and connection. The "Wrap Yourself in Winter Style" event is all about fostering that community spirit, bringing people together for an afternoon of comfort, style, and good company. The aim is to create an environment filled with warmth and kindness.
The team at the home is really excited to welcome everyone. Deborah White, the Home Manager at HC-One's Ashworth Grange Care Home, shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming event.
"We're really looking forward to welcoming everyone to our 'Wrap Yourself in Winter Style' event. It's a lovely opportunity for residents, families, and members of the community to come together, enjoy some shopping, and get ready for the colder months ahead. Events like this bring a great sense of warmth and connection to our home."
Her words perfectly capture the feeling behind the day. It's about more than just clothes; it's about connection, shared experiences, and strengthening the bonds within the local West Yorkshire community.
What's life like at Ashworth Grange?
It's clear that Ashworth Grange is a place that values social interaction and a vibrant atmosphere. The home itself is designed to be warm and welcoming. Picture cosy fireplaces, lovely decor, and beautiful, secure gardens that residents can enjoy whenever they fancy. This focus on comfort and quality of life extends to the private living spaces, too. All 64 bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms, which helps deliver person-centred care while promoting as much independence as possible.
The rooms come with everything a resident might need, including fitted furniture, a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, and a telephone point. But it's the little touches that make it a real home. Residents are encouraged to bring their own furniture to make their space feel truly their own. The inspirational day spaces are another key feature. These aren't just generic lounges; they are areas tailored to the interests of the people who live there. There's a cafe for a catch-up over a cuppa, a hair salon for a bit of pampering, and a dedicated room for all sorts of activities.
A focus on kindness and care
This commitment to creating a positive environment is rooted in the philosophy of its parent company, HC-One. Founded in 2011, HC-One is the largest provider of adult social care in Great Britain, operating over 280 care homes. Their entire approach is built on a simple but powerful idea: caring through kindness. For them, kindness isn't just a buzzword; it's about understanding what truly matters to each individual and providing the support they need to live their best life.
This ethos is carried out by some of the largest health and care workforces outside of the NHS. Whether it's providing residential, nursing, or specialist dementia care, every action is guided by a desire to support residents. HC-One works closely with health and social care professionals to lead the way in areas like dementia care, developing innovative services that help people make the most of every single day. The focus is always on delivering the kindest possible care.
A special welcome this autumn
For those considering a move into a care home, Ashworth Grange is extending a special welcome this autumn. New residents who join the home before 30th November 2025 can take advantage of an offer that gives them four weeks of care for the price of three. It's a chance for people to experience the warmth and supportive community for themselves.
This offer, combined with events like the winter style fashion event, shows a real commitment to not only providing excellent care but also creating a lively, engaging, and kind home. It's a place where residents receive dedicated support, and where the wider Dewsbury community is always welcome.
