Ashwood Park Care Home Peterlee, County Durham 

Ashwood Park Care Home has so many wonderful spaces for our residents to enjoy, including: 

• In our Willow Suite, for residents living with dementia, we have an old-fashioned quiet lounge. This bright and sunny room overlooks the beautiful gardens. With a vintage jukebox, residents can listen to their favourite songs. Family and friends can also get involved by bringing in their own playlists.  
• A sensory garden, where residents can enjoy a spot of gardening, which features a duck pond.   
• A hair salon with vintage electric hood dryers. A hairdresser visits every week for appointment with the residents.  
• Dining areas, where residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals prepared by our chef. 
• Cosy lounges to socialise in with loved ones. 

We are so proud of our commitment to enriching lives and enhancing quality of life for our residents through engaging experiences. There is so much to do at Ashwood Park Care Home, including: 

• Pampering sessions, with makeovers, manicures and hand massages. 
• Film nights - we get into our pyjamas and slippers, with popcorn and hot chocolate. 
• Live musical entertainment and karaoke. 
• Gentle exercise classes. 
• Pet therapy – we are often joined by well-behaved dogs and have our own ducks and budgies. Our residents also enjoy visits from everything from rabbits and guinea pigs to snakes! We even held our own dog show this summer.  
• Social events with fellow residents at our neighbouring Sanctuary Care home, Birchwood Court.  
•  Trips outside our care home in Peterlee County Durham to places like Hartlepool Marina, Beamish Museum, Easington Beach and garden centres. Some of our residents also enjoy regular outings to the local pub for lunch. 

We also offer short-term respite care stays, which can be pre-booked in advance. These are ideal for family carers looking after elderly relatives, who want the peace of mind of knowing their loved one is in safe hands.

It is usual for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their care. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.

Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed.
