About St Andrews Nursing Home

St Andrews Nursing Home is a nursing home in Stanley, County Durham. We provide nursing care for older people, and we support people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people affected by alcohol or drug misuse. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. With nurses on duty at every hour, medication, skin care, nutrition, pain and mobility are managed here, and a change in somebody's condition is noticed by people who know how they usually are. A good deal that would otherwise become a hospital admission is handled in the person's own room instead. Some of the people who come to us have had a difficult time before they arrive, and we do not treat that history as a verdict on somebody. What matters is how the person wants to live now and what support would make that possible. We are careful that the clinical side does not take over the day. People are helped to dress properly, to eat food they actually like and to see whoever they want. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit if you are considering nursing care locally.
