About Us

St Clare's Court is a residential care home in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, supporting older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment.

Living together in one house works when difference is expected rather than tolerated. Our residents do not all want the same day. Some want company from breakfast onwards, others appear when they are ready. Some need a great deal of physical help, others need mainly a settled place and staff who know them. Running the house well means holding all of that at once without letting the loudest need crowd out the quietest person.

We plan support with each person and with the family or friends they want involved, and we adjust how we communicate to suit them, particularly where sight or hearing is affected.

Respite stays are available for short periods of care or to give a family carer a planned break.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please do come and see the place.
