About Lindisfarne Shotton

Lindisfarne Shotton provides nursing care near Durham for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people who have sight or hearing loss. We also take planned respite stays. Having qualified nurses here throughout the day and night changes what we can offer. Conditions can be watched and managed as they shift rather than handled as emergencies, medicines get proper review, and people who would otherwise move repeatedly between home and hospital can be looked after here by staff who know them well. For people approaching the end of life, it means comfort, dignity and familiar faces rather than an ambulance and an unfamiliar ward. Nursing alone would not make this a good place to live, so we put real effort into everything else. Residents decide when to get up, what to wear and how to spend the day. Meals are meant to be enjoyed rather than administered. Relatives are welcome whenever they want to come. For residents living with dementia we keep the day familiar and the pace gentle, and where somebody has a physical disability or sight and hearing loss we agree together how they want to be helped and approached. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break and support people who need nursing care for a while before returning home.
