Heath Lodge and Greenfield Court
Heath Lodge was originally purchased as a Home for the Elderly in 1969 - situated on Pannal Ash Road, Harrogate, (Map); Greenfield Court on Wetherby Road was purchased in March 1976, and extended with ten bungalows for sheltered accomodation.
The Executive Committee runs both these not-for-profit homes with separate house and selection committees dealing with the day-to-day work.

Accomodation
Heath Lodge has space for 30 residents, Greenfield Court caters for those needing sheltered accomodation. With Social Services current policy in 2003 to keep folks in their own homes and subsidies being paid for those of an older age, waiting times at these Christian homes are becoming more acceptable.
Greenfield Court provides sheltered homes with your individual front door for those over 55 who are becoming unable to look after themselves in their own home; rooms are provided unfurnished and a chef offers two meals each day.

Facilities
Heath Lodge's own website lists these facilities: 24 hour personal care : a variety of spacious bedrooms : EMI unit - Alzheimers & Dementia : wide range of menu and dietary requirements : a programme of activities : attractive peaceful gardens : resident/relative meetings : a dedicated team of volunteers : regular services for residents : communal lounge and conservatory : support services of laundry, housekeeping and maintenance

History
The churches of Harrogate founded the Harrogate Neighbours Housing Association in 1967, putting their faith into practice by choosing to care for the elderly. Heath Lodge was bought for the purpose of looking after those unable to look after themselves in their own homes, with Greenfield Court joining the work in March 1976

Links with the local church
Services are conducted by leaders and members of many churches across Harrogate for the residents of Heath Lodge.
