About Abbeygate Care Centre
Abbeygate Care Centre is a residential care home in Brierley Hill. We support older people, including those living with dementia, people living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities and people whose sight or hearing is impaired. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. We aim for a home that runs around the people in it. Rooms are personal, the day is not dictated by a timetable, and visitors are welcome at sensible hours without an appointment. People choose when to get up, what to eat and how much company they want, and our staff are there to help rather than to organise everybody into the same pattern. Support covers washing, dressing, medication, meals and moving about, along with the practical adjustments that make daily life workable when sight or hearing has changed. For people living with dementia we keep things familiar and take our time, and we ask families to tell us about a person's life because that history is usually the key to understanding what somebody needs. Where mental ill health is part of the picture we work alongside community teams and GPs rather than around them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round, meet the team and speak to relatives of people who already live here before deciding anything.
