Care Homes in County Durham

Welcome to County Durham, known for its past as a major centre for coal mining and the spectacular Durham Castle – built on the orders of William the Conqueror in 1072 and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We’re proud to have four care homes in County Durham - Ashwood Park and Birchwood Court in Easington Colliery near Peterlee, Cedar Court in Seaham and Rushyfields in Brandon.

The teams across our nursing homes in County Durham are dedicated to enriching the lives of our elderly residents, providing them with the support needed for comfortable living during their senior years. 

What kind of support is available at our County Durham care homes?

Our care homes in County Durham all offer person-centric residential care, supporting with day-to-day tasks like cleaning and dressing, while promoting independence. 

They also deliver dementia care to support those affected by progressive memory-related conditions, and respite care – a short-term support service designed to help caregivers take a break.

All our care homes in County Durham (excluding Birchwood Court) also provide 24-hour nursing care, for people requiring more intensive support, and palliative care.
