About Needham Court

Needham Court in Jarrow is a residential care home supporting older people and younger adults. Our experience covers dementia, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss, and we also offer respite stays. A good deal of our work lies in details that are easy to overlook. A room arranged so that somebody can manage it independently. Lighting, contrast and signs that make sense to a person with poor vision or with dementia. A hearing aid that has been checked and is working, because a conversation somebody cannot follow is worse than no conversation at all. Equipment within reach, so that moving about does not mean waiting for help. None of it is dramatic and all of it decides whether a day goes well. Beyond that we try to keep life ordinary. People choose their own routines, keep their own things around them, eat food cooked here with real choice, and have company or privacy as they prefer. Help with washing, dressing and mobility is given at the person's pace and recorded carefully so it happens the same way whoever is on duty. With dementia we rely on knowing somebody well, so we gather a person's history with their family and keep adding to it. Families are welcome whenever suits them, and we would rather see you often and informally. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall.
