About Stapleton House

Stapleton House is a nursing home in Jarrow, South Tyneside. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside everyday support, and we have registered nurses on duty so that clinical needs are met here rather than requiring a move elsewhere every time something changes. Nursing care covers a wide range of things: wound care and pressure area management, support with continence, careful attention to nutrition and hydration, managing long term conditions, and working closely with GPs, district nurses and specialists. What matters just as much is that none of it takes over somebody's day. A resident here is a person with a life behind them and preferences of their own, not a set of tasks. We also support residents living with dementia. Our approach is unhurried. We pay attention to what a person responds to, we keep surroundings familiar and calm, and we involve families in building a picture of who somebody has been, which tells us a great deal about how to care for them now. Respite stays are available too, for people needing nursing support for a short period, and for families who need a planned break knowing their relative is properly looked after. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are always glad to show people around, and you are welcome to visit at a time that suits you and ask us anything you like.
