Deangate is a purpose-built home in the heart of a bustling community. Your Local Care Home – Caring for your community for many years.
This lovely home is purpose-built with the added benefit of pleasant grounds. Deangate is situated within short walking distance to the centre of Mapplewell village, just on the outskirts of Barnsley. The location provides easy access (with a local bus service) to many amenities including a wide variety of shops, a village hall and library.
The home concentrates on offering excellent care which will support both residents and their families, with all their care needs. This home from home provides residential and dementia care. All bedrooms are en-suite and the home has a large spacious dining room where a sumptuous menu is served. There’s also a choice of living rooms, enabling you to spend time chatting or being involved in more strenuous activity if you want to!
Poppy Lane, is a separate specialist dementia suite which offers 24-hour residential dementia care. Owners are proud of their fully trained team and the fact that the majority of them have been with the home for many many years.
Care is tailored to meet every resident’s needs and wishes. Carers ask each resident and their relative or representative to help formulate an individual care plan, based on who the person is and how they came to be where they are today. This ensures professionals cater for all their needs and can provide specialist & dedicated care.

The care home is just what my mother needed. They are very caring and thoughtful of the residents' needs. The place always smells nice and the food/kitchen always gives off a good aroma. All the staff are lovely and kind.

I am extremely happy with the care my auntie is receiving at Deangate. The staff are very attentive to my auntie's increasing needs and always go that extra mile to ensure she is comfortable and well cared for.

All the staff seem genuinely concerned and want to do their best to cater for my aunt's needs. The home always looks clean and tidy and from what I've heard, the meals are home-cooked and delicious. I have no concerns regarding the care my aunt is receiving.

It's my mum's first residential home, we weren't looking forward to Mum living away from us, but Deangate and all the staff have made Mum feel welcome and at home. They can't do enough for the residents - hospital appointments etc.

Couldn't run a party in a brewery comes to mind. If I could name and shame I would but obviously, that's why you don't let reviews do this. You should take good and bad. It's been the worst seven and a half months of my life. Things surely can only get better. I would love to name the few people...
Couldn't run a party in a brewery comes to mind. If I could name and shame I would but obviously, that's why you don't let reviews do this. You should take good and bad. It's been the worst seven and a half months of my life. Things surely can only get better. I would love to name the few people that have helped me with my progress, you know who you are, and all the kitchen staff are amazing and feed you. Amazing with what they have to work with. If you are reading this and you have family in this facility, I would say to keep your eyes open as lies and complaints have led to me being removed from this home because it's my leg I lost not my eyes and ears. I feel for the residents and the few carers that do really care as they get treated like a dogsbody. Sorry if you don't like this review but as I've always said I only tell truth and if the truth hurts then that's it. I hope the staff all get swapped around and let them run the place. I bet things would run more smoothly.

This really does mean a lot, thank you.
I cannot speak too highly of the staff, they do an excellent job in a difficult type of work. While understanding the companies situation, I see overworked ladies meeting the statutory requirements, including completing records, not well paid and working continual shifts. They are all nearly...
Activities are almost impossible to provide with the wide range of residents problems. My background enables me to make valued judgement.
My father went into the care of the team at Deangate in July 2019 and from that moment on he was looked after as if he was family. My Mum was also welcomed and made to feel part of it which was very important as it was a difficult decision for her to have to place Dad in someone else's...
Sadly, Dad passed away recently but I can honestly say that every single one of the team could not have done more to look after and care for him. One member of staff particularly went above and beyond to ensure he had the best care from all the external providers (local GP etc). The manager and the whole team are true professionals who have the dignity and well being of the residents and their family at the forefront of what they do.
I cannot recommend Deangate highly enough and want to thank the whole team for their love and support during this difficult time.
My wife has only been in for a short time but, up to now, I am pleased with the service of care. The carers are good and the meals are good. Pleased with it all.

My husband came for end of life care. He was looked after very lovingly and carefully. He was always extra clean. Thank you all for looking after him at the end, for me. I loved him to bits.

My dad initially went into Deangate for a week's respite, he felt at home there with the friendly staff, they made my dad feel very welcome. My mum got to the point where she could no longer look after my dad at home, so we made the decision to put Dad into full-time care, because we had had such a good experience at Deangate before we chose it to be his permanent home. I never worry about Dad's safety, I know he is well taken care of. The staff always tell us of any issues we need to know about promptly. I feel the staff at Deangate know my dad as an individual because they take time to talk with him and get to know him. I would recommend Deangate to anyone wanting a home that cares for their relatives. The staff are always friendly to my mum and me too, which certainly helps when you are going through the hard decision of placing a loved one in to care.
My mum was a total nervous wreck when I removed her from this place. Jewellery had gone missing. She was afraid of being locked in her bedroom. A comment from a staff member when the jewellery went missing was well it's just one of those things. That comment was made in front of a social worker....
I just hope that the people who rate this home as good, get the chance to see another home like the one my mum is in now. They would then realise how bad Deangate is.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following your experience of Deangate Care Home which took place in May 2016. As a Home, we endorse a culture of welcoming all feedback in order to use as a reward for hard work when these comments are positive and a measure of areas of improvement that need to be made when the feedback is not positive. In the Nine months since this experience, the home has undergone extensive staffing, training and cultural changes which are reflected in the recent CQC inspection rating of GOOD. In respect of the missing jewellery, we were alarmed to see that issue raised here as briefly as it was. It was felt the subsequent Police involvement instigated by Deangate Care Home once this had been raised with the Home Manager, unfortunately, this resulted in the Police being unable to deal with this as a criminal matter. Therefore a financial recompense was issued by Hillcare Ltd. We are delighted to hear that your relative has found a home where she feels settled and happy. We operate an open door policy at Deangate Care Home so would welcome people to call in anytime to discuss any concerns they have or have had or to see the positive changes that the home are very proud of.
My dad has been a resident at Deangate for 3 years. In my opinion, this care home has had a lot of bad publicity. Yes, it's had a lot of work and the staff here have been and always are, very good. Also very good at all the aspects of their communication with residents and visitors.

So pleased to write that there has been a big improvement in all areas listed. We can relax better knowing our sister is being well cared for. Also, all staff are friendly and treat patients with the respect they deserve, well done Hillcare.

The care home is where my mum has been a resident for over the past 2 years. The care home has improved in that time, the staff from the manager down are all hard working, friendly and will do all they can to help. The care home has residents with various care needs from very little to very complex and difficult. The only concern I would have is at times the carers are over-stretched with regards to the resident to carer ratio.
Staff are very caring and helpful. Dad is well looked after.
