About Lawreth
Here at Lawreth, we are a care home based in Seaham, County Durham, offering a warm and genuinely homely environment for the people who live and stay with us. We specialise in residential care, supporting individuals with learning disabilities and autism, and providing respite care for those who need a short break or a planned period of support. Whether someone is joining us on a longer term basis or staying for a shorter spell, we aim to make sure they feel comfortable, respected and at ease from the moment they arrive. Seaham is a close knit coastal community, and we feel that spirit is very much reflected in the way we work. We take the time to get to know each person properly, understanding their routines, their preferences and what matters most to them day to day. Support is tailored around the individual rather than shaped around a fixed routine, and we work closely with families and carers to make sure everyone feels informed and involved. For those we support who have a learning disability or are autistic, we understand how important consistency and familiarity are. Our team works thoughtfully to create an environment where people feel safe and understood, and where communication is always adapted to suit the individual. Our respite offer is something we take seriously. We know that for families and carers, being able to trust a setting completely during those breaks is essential. We hope that everyone who spends time with us, however briefly, leaves feeling well looked after. We are pleased to hold a good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts in every day. If you would like to find out more about what we offer, we would be very happy to hear from you.
