About Shaftsbury House
Shaftsbury House is a care home in Barnsley. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, and we support people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability and people managing a mental health condition. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Supporting that range of people under one roof works only if nobody is treated as a category. What a younger autistic adult wants from a week bears almost no relation to what an older person living with dementia needs from it, and planning that lumps them together fails both. So we sit down with each person, work out what their week should actually contain, and arrange staffing around that rather than the reverse. Residents decide how their own day runs, keep their own things around them and see visitors when it suits them. Where somebody has lived with a mental health condition for years, we start from what they tell us works. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit if you are considering care in Barnsley.
