Bankhouse has been a privately run purpose built care home since 1989.
The provider and the management team strives to provide a quality of life based on individual resident’s personality, lifestyle, needs and wishes into three different communities within the home.
Bankhouse Care Home can be found on the outskirts of Ebbw Vale in Beaufort village backing on to the scenic Moors looking towards the Brecon Beacons. It has good bus links with Ebbw Vale, easy road links to the new Heads of the Valleys Road and rail link to Ebbw Vale with a short taxi ride to the care home.
We care for residents across the area from Newport, Cardiff, Caerphilly, Torfaen, Monmouth and Brecon. Specific contracts are agreed with different authorities depending on the individual needs and wishes of the resident. Residents who wish to return home to their roots are very welcome and arrangements can be made in accordance with their local authority.
Bankhouse is registered by CIW to provide nursing and personal care to 54 people which includes people with dementia needs.
The care home accepts all genders, of 55 yrs old and over, without discrimination. We respect all cultures, backgrounds and the lifestyles of all our residents. We provide long and short term, palliative and respite care for residents living in the community.
