About The Old Chapel Care Home
The Old Chapel Care Home is a residential care home in Barnsley. We support older adults, including many people living with dementia, people living with a physical disability, and people with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our aim is a home that is easy to live in. That means surroundings which are calm and simple to make sense of, a day with a reliable shape to it, and staff who know each person well enough to spot when something is not right before it is said out loud. Where somebody has difficulty seeing or hearing, we adapt how we communicate and we keep things where that person expects to find them, which prevents a great deal of avoidable frustration. Help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and appointments is there for anybody who needs it, given without fuss and without taking over. People keep their own belongings, decide how sociable they want to be, and have visitors when it suits them rather than when it suits us. We work closely with families, both because they want to know how their relative is and because what they can tell us about a person's life is what lets us care for them properly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to visit and see the home for yourself.
