Our care

Four kinds of care, in one home

We take people other homes turn away, including nursing needs, advanced dementia and challenging behaviour.

A bright sitting room with a sofa, houseplants and a large window

Residential care

Every resident treated as an individual, in a safe, warm and friendly home.

Our teams support with daily tasks or provide round the clock assistance, depending on what the day needs. Nothing is on a schedule that suits us rather than the person.

Dementia care

Mental, emotional and physical stimulation in a secure, familiar environment.

Our staff wear brightly coloured uniforms so they are easy to recognise, and our gardens are secure so residents can use them freely. Dementia is hard on everybody, and our team is here for the family too.

Respite care

A short stay at your convenience, with every benefit of the home.

Bespoke respite on a short term basis, with none of the commitment. Plenty of families start here while they work out what happens next. Some of them stay.

End of life care

The highest level of care, twenty four hours a day, from our own staff.

Personal care delivered with support from the local GP and district nurse teams. Nobody who lives here has to move somewhere unfamiliar at the end, away from the people who know them.

Comfortable living

Everything is on one site, with a lift to every floor

A care home for 32 service users with nursing, advanced dementia and challenging behaviour, situated in Cudworth.

  • Reception area

  • Lawn garden and patio
  • Visitors toilets
  • Treatment room
  • Manager's office

The hoists and stand aids are the part worth reading twice. They mean somebody whose legs go does not have to move to a different home, away from the carers who know her.

Why families choose us

The team stays, so the residents stay

Most homes in this country run on agency staff. That is the difference, and it is the one thing a competitor cannot copy by the end of the week.

04 years

Our love of care can be matched, but our quality in care can’t. This isn’t care, this is a way of life.

Billy Dulay Director, Global Care Ltd
  • 50%+

    of our team have been with the company more than twelve years. A carer of twelve years knows what your mum is like on a normal day, which is the only way anyone notices the week she stops being it.

  • 18+

    years is how long some of our residents have lived here. The sector sees that in roughly one home in a hundred.

  • 25+

    years of service to this one home from Donna Brown, our registered manager, described on our site as the most established manager in Barnsley.

Every figure on this page is published on globalcareltd.com and is the home's own. Attach a source to the national average before this goes live, and confirm whether the twenty five years belongs to Donna Brown or to the director.

A day here

What a day actually looks like

Nobody publishes this, which is exactly why every family asks for it on the phone.

Sample timings

  • 7.30Carers start the day round. Anyone who wants a lie in gets one.
  • 8.30Breakfast in the dining room, or in your own room if you would rather.
  • 10.30Knitting and craft in the front lounge.
  • 12.30Lunch, cooked here in our own kitchen.

The activities are the home's real published list. The times and the night staffing are sample content and need confirming with Donna before this goes live.

What people say about us

In their families’ words

Sample quotes
