About Tenlands Care Home
Tenlands is a residential care home in Ferryhill, County Durham. We support older people, including those living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. Younger adults whose needs are best met in a residential setting are welcome too, and we offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We say that plainly and then move on, because a rating describes the daily work of a team rather than replacing it, and the work has to be done again tomorrow. What that work looks like is fairly ordinary. Getting up at a time that suits the person rather than the rota. Food that somebody looks forward to. Knowing which chair is whose, which programme matters, who likes company and who does not. Noticing quickly when a person is not themselves. For people living with dementia, keeping faces and routines steady and following their pace rather than ours. For people with a physical disability or with sight or hearing loss, getting the practical detail right so that nobody is left waiting for the world to be explained. Respite stays give a family carer a proper break. Please come and visit us on a normal day and see how the home actually runs.
