Welcome to Elmswell and Oakwell
We built Elmswell and Oakwell in partnership with the local authority and local commissioning groups to provide purpose-built homes that support the Transforming Care Agenda, a project that aims to prevent and reduce hospital placements and support higher-risk people to live in the community.
Here, we support 10 people across the two homes with borderline personality disorders, emotionally unstable personality disorder, complex autism, and attachment disorders.
Inside each building, there are five self-contained apartments, each with its own front door, hallway, bedroom, bathroom, storage, living, and dining room. There’s also access to a shared living room, kitchen, dining room, and sensory garden to help develop social integration.
These homes are part of a larger community, being located next to our Mellieha residential home, which altogether provide support for 15 adults.
Elmswell and Oakwell are located at the top of South Elmsall Hill, which makes it part of a thriving local community. There’s a large daily market, numerous shops, cafes, bars, and local amenities.
The accommodation is within proximity of mainline train stations giving direct access to Wakefield, Leeds, and Sheffield, as well as a large local bus station with routes covering Hemsworth, Barnsley, and other larger neighbouring towns.
