About Beamish Residential Care Home
Beamish Residential Care Home is in Stanley, County Durham. We care for older adults and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We are a home rather than an institution, and we work at keeping it that way. People here have their own room and their own belongings, get up and go to bed at the hours that suit them, have a genuine say in the food, and choose how much of the day they want to spend in company. Help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting to appointments is there for whoever wants it, given quietly and stopping where it is no longer needed. What we are really trying to protect is somebody's sense of still running their own life. That means asking rather than assuming, explaining rather than announcing, and being honest with families about how a person is really doing, including in the weeks when the answer is not what anybody hoped for. Stanley is part of how we work. Visitors come when it suits them, people get out into the town, and the connections somebody arrives with are kept up rather than quietly allowed to lapse. Respite stays suit families needing a break, people recovering after hospital, and anybody wanting to try the home first. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see us.
