Bridge House

Bridge House is registered for nine people with mental health needs. The home comprises of three domestic properties, two on Bridge Street and one on Bridge Gardens. The houses are close to each other and all in a residential area within walking distance of the town centre of Barnsley. Each property has one shared and one single bedroom and can accommodate three people.

Janet Barlow Care has been providing accommodation and support for people with a mental health diagnosis since 1992 and since then has built a reputation for delivering quality, individually assessed residential care.

Convinced that people with mental health issues were being let down by the quality of services available at the time, and with a belief that she could offer care and support in new innovative ways, Janet opened her first small home in Barnsley with just three residents. Nurse trained and with 29 years experience in care she was joined in 2006 by her son Andrew (RMN), a mental health professional. The company has expanded over those years with the purchase of further homes, but Janet’s original focus on individuals needs and providing a home environment is still what underpins our approach to the care and support every resident receives.
