About Kingsfield Residential Care Home
Kingsfield Residential Care Home is a care home in Barrow in Furness. We provide residential care for older people and younger adults, and we support people living with dementia, 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. A younger adult with a physical disability who wants to get out and do things has very little in common with somebody in the later stages of dementia, 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. When to get up, where to spend it, how much company they want and whether to join whatever is going on. Rooms belong to the people in them, and visitors come without appointment. 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 locally.
