About Woodhorn Park
At Woodhorn Park, we provide residential and dementia care for older people in the heart of Ashington, Northumberland. We also offer respite care for those who need a short term stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission or to give a family carer some well earned time to rest. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the work our team puts in every single day to make sure residents feel safe, comfortable and genuinely at home here. That rating matters to us, but what matters more is hearing from residents and their families that they feel listened to and well looked after. Life at Woodhorn Park is built around the individual. We take time to get to know each person, their history, their preferences and the small things that make their day feel right. For those living with dementia, we know how important it is to maintain familiar routines and a calm, reassuring environment, and our team is experienced in providing that kind of thoughtful, person centred support. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the biggest decisions a family can make, and we never take that trust lightly. From the moment you first get in touch with us, we want you to feel welcome and well informed. We encourage prospective residents and their loved ones to come and visit, ask questions and take as much time as they need. Our team genuinely cares about the people who live here, and that shows in the relationships they build over time. Woodhorn Park is a place where people are treated with dignity and respect, and where community and connection are very much part of everyday life. We would love to welcome you.
