At Pavillion Residential and Nursing Home, our devoted staff, including qualified and experienced registered nurses, pride themselves on the wide range of care we provide including residential care, dementia care, nursing care and pre-bookable respite care. This means that as our residents’ care needs evolve, we can be here to support them with the highest standard of continuous care.
If you are an older person in Sunderland in need of a carers’ break, or caring for elderly parents at home, we offer short-term pre-bookable respite care as well as our long-term and permanent care options. This means you can take a well-earned rest with the peace of mind that your loved one is in safe hands and hopefully having a fun-filled break of their own too.

All of our team at Pavillion Care Home are dedicated to providing a genuinely homely atmosphere. At the helm is devoted manager Paula, who has over 20 years of nursing experience, working with healthcare professionals in Tyne & Wear and Sunderland.
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
Singing for the Brain sessions, which the Alzheimer’s Society runs. This music therapy is beneficial for our residents, particularly those living with late-stage dementia or progressive memory loss.
We also hold religious services in the home, for a range of denominations to suit our residents’ individual needs.

Pricing information
It is usual for residents in care homes to contribute to the cost of their own care. Some people have the resources to pay for this in full, whilst others make means-tested contributions.
Our weekly care 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. Our 2024 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1,048 and for nursing care £1,285, but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.
*If you require more specialist care such as 1-2-1 support, your weekly fee could be higher.
