Barley Brook Care Home
Providing dementia care
A tastefully converted Victorian house, in a highly sought after location on Wigan Lane. Barley Brook provides high quality, sensitive dementia care that is tailored to each individual's particular needs.
There are spacious lounges, in which residents can relax, interact, watch television or find peace and quiet. The home has 20 single rooms with the majority having en-suite facilities.
Our highly motivated staff are headed by a registered manager, who has many years of experience in caring for the elderly and who provides hands-on supervision to maintain our tradition of excellence. All staff are CRB checked and undertake NVQ qualifications. Training is sponsored by the company as part of an on-going commitment to retaining high quality staff. In addition the company has its own 10 part training programme, which all staff complete.
As in all our establishments, there is full disabled access, lifts to all floors and specialised equipment is available, e.g. for assisted bathing. Physiotherapy, Chiropody, Dentists and Opticians are all available on request and local clergy of all denominations are encouraged to visit on a regular basis.
Our qualified chefs prepare a wide range of home cooked food using fresh local produce. The choice is based on traditional recipes and daily alternatives are provided at every meal time. Special diets are also catered for.
A full programme of activities is available to our residents, tailored to their needs and abilities. The company also has a mini bus service that is used to take residents on day trips and visits.
Although there is a no smoking policy within the home, special smoking areas are designated for people who wish to smoke.
The home is visited by hairdressers and a range of complimentary therapies can be arranged on request at your own cost. Accommodation is fully inclusive of laundry.
The home welcomes guests funded by Social Services and those who are privately paying clients. We are happy to accommodate both, private or supported clients - everyone receives the same high class service.
This home is inspected and accredited by CSCI, in accordance with statutory government regulation. Barley Brook also currently holds a five star RDB rating, which is an independent quality assurance mark.
All the Century homes are accredited with the Investors In People (IIP) quality mark which shows the level of investment we put into our staff and our homes - all of which means simply that we provide the very best of care for the client.
