About Agbrigg and Sandal

Agbrigg and Sandal is a residential care home in Wakefield. We support older people, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults, and we offer both permanent places and respite stays. We support a broad range of needs, and that is deliberate. People do not arrive with a single label, and we would rather build support around an individual than turn somebody away because their needs sit across two categories. For an older resident that may mean unhurried help with personal care, safe support with moving about and medication given properly. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time and support to get out to a job or a course. Where physical disability or sensory loss is part of the picture, equipment, access and how we communicate all get real attention. Every plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly, and respite stays are planned in advance so that a short stay is a visit somewhere known. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit and see how the house runs.
