Rowan Court is a residential home for 15 adults who have PMLD, located near Holmfirth, and set over three floors.

Our adults enjoy a wide range of activities, such as accessing the community to visit café’s, shopping and football matches. During the summer months, our adults enjoy going sailing in Otley and during the winter months enjoy going rock climbing and bowling in our local area. Within Rowan Court, we also have a Sensory Room to support our adults with their sensory needs, as well as an interactive computer so that the adults can play games and communicate with their families via Skype.

At Hollybank, we have a team of Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists, who provide individual support not only to the adults, but to the staff team to allow them to build their skills and knowledge as part of their role. Our adults enjoy attending Therapy sessions, such as Hydrotherapy, Rebound Therapy and Communication Cafes with their assistive technology.
