Questions families ask
Do I need to book before viewing the care home?
Yes. Visitors are strongly advised to book ahead so staff can provide a tour and the information needed to assess the home.
Can residents bring their own furniture to the care home?
Yes. Small items such as a favourite armchair and personal belongings are welcome. Electrical items are PAT tested and furniture undergoes a fire risk assessment.
Does every resident receive an individual care plan?
Yes. Each new resident is assessed before staff create a personalised care plan. Plans are typically reviewed monthly and updated when needs change.
Can residents stay if their care needs change?
Yes. Care pathways can combine residential, nursing and dementia care, allowing residents to remain at the home when their needs change.
How much does Saxondale Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Saxondale Nursing Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Barnsley council paid on average £930 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
