About Valley Park Care Home
Valley Park Care Home is a residential care home in Barnsley. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with mental health needs, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our approach is simple enough to state and takes real effort to keep. The home belongs to the people who live in it. They decide when to get up, where to sit, who to spend time with and how much to join in. Personal care is given unhurriedly and privately. Nobody is moved along to suit a rota. For people living with dementia, familiarity is the most useful thing we can offer. Consistent staff who know a person's history, a steady rhythm to the day and time taken to explain what is happening prevent far more distress than any response afterwards. We ask families to tell us about the person they knew before, because that knowledge helps us understand what we see now. Relatives are welcome whenever it suits them, and we would much rather hear a worry early. We will tell you honestly what we are doing about it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are thinking about residential care in Barnsley for yourself or someone close to you, please arrange to visit, meet the people who live here and see whether it feels right.
