About Aegis Residential Care

Aegis Residential Care is a care home in Pontefract providing a settled and comfortable place to live for older people and younger adults who need support close at hand. We run as a household rather than an institution, and the day belongs to the people living it. Supporting residents living with dementia is a substantial part of our work. We do that by learning who each person is, keeping routines familiar and the day unhurried, explaining changes before they happen, and looking for the cause when somebody is unsettled rather than treating it as behaviour to be contained. Our team helps with personal care, medication, mobility and meals, and just as much with the things that make a day worth having: conversation, company for those who want it, peace for those who do not, and fresh air whenever the weather allows. Rooms are personalised and relatives are welcome whenever they can come. Respite stays are available for people needing care for a short period, which some families use as a break and others as a first step. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are looking at care homes in this part of West Yorkshire, please come and see us on an ordinary day.
