About Jack Dormand Care Home

Jack Dormand Care Home in Peterlee is a nursing home, with qualified nurses on duty at all times alongside our care team. We care for older people and younger adults, including many people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. People usually come to us when health needs have grown beyond what support at home or a residential home can meet. Nursing here means consistent attention to the things that keep a person comfortable and well: medicines, mobility, nutrition and hydration, skin, continence and pain, reviewed properly and talked through with the person and their family rather than handled quietly in the background. We involve GPs, district nurses and specialists early rather than late. Around that, ordinary life carries on, and we work at it deliberately. People rise when they wake, sit where they choose, keep their own furniture and photographs about them, and eat food that suits their taste as well as any clinical need. With dementia we rely on knowing somebody well, so we gather a person's history with their family and keep adding to it, which is what lets us offer comfort when words become harder. When somebody is nearing the end of life we aim to be honest, present and unhurried. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall, which we read as a sign that the daily things are being done properly.
