Life at our nursing home in Houghton le Spring
Our sunderland care homeboasts extensive gardens and an outdoor pod – which we will be transforming into a potting shed for our residents this summer. There is a conservatory leading out onto a separate courtyard area, and our residents love to participate in activities outside. The outside areas of our care home are wheelchair accessible – perfect for those who are a little frailer or with greater mobility needs.
Delicious home-cooked food
Our head chef Donna prepares delicious, home-cooked cuisine, sourcing her fruit and vegetables locally and her baking, particularly her fruit scones and cakes, are superb!
The recently refurbished dining room is light and airy. It’s also a beautiful space for our residents to gather to enjoy ‘foody’ activities.
Our inspiring activities
We have so many engaging and inspiring activities on offer each day, from music and arts and crafts to bingo and baking. We also have a hairdressing salon for those who enjoy a spot of pampering.
They are all tailored to our residents’ individual needs, whether they are receiving residential, nursing or dementia care.
We have our own mini-bus at Pavillion, which means that our residents can get out and about and enjoy all the local area has to offer. This includes taking part in

We also hold religious services in the home, for a range of denominations to suit our residents’ individual needs.
