About Beddell House
Here at Beddell House, we provide residential care for people in the heart of Durham, County Durham, and we take real pride in the community we have built here. Our home supports a wide range of individuals, including older people, those living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, those with visual or hearing impairments, younger adults, and people who need a shorter stay through respite care. We believe that whatever brings someone through our doors, they deserve to feel genuinely at home. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, and we work hard every day to maintain and build on that standard. For us, that rating reflects what we already know from the people who live here and the families who trust us with their loved ones: that Beddell House is a place where people are treated with dignity, respect and real warmth. Dementia care sits close to our hearts, and we put a great deal of thought into how we support people living with memory loss, making sure our approach is calm, consistent and person centred. Equally, we understand that a physical disability or sensory impairment can shape every part of someone's daily life, so we work closely with each individual to understand what support looks and feels right for them. For those who come to us for respite, we want that stay to be as comfortable and settling as possible, whether it is a few weeks of recovery or simply a break for a family carer who needs some time to rest. If you would like to know more about life at Beddell House or would like to come and have a look around, we would be very happy to welcome you. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team.
