About Breadalbane Residential Home
We are Breadalbane Residential Home in Castleford, in the Wakefield district. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we also take respite stays. Residential care means helping with what has become hard work and leaving everything else in the hands of the person. Washing and dressing, meals, medication, getting about safely, and the ordinary company that makes a day worth having. For health needs beyond our registration we work with district nurses and GPs rather than stretching to cover them. Dementia takes up much of our day, and what helps most is knowing the person. Someone who worked for decades to a particular rhythm often still carries it, and a routine built around that goes better than one imposed on top. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather set that out plainly than leave a family to find it elsewhere. We know what the inspection identified, work is in hand on it, and we are willing to go through the detail with anyone considering a place here.
