About Tynedale House
Tynedale House is a residential care home in Blyth. We care for older people who need support with daily living, including those living with dementia, adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults and people whose physical disability means they need help to move about safely. What we provide is help with the everyday: assistance to wash and dress, medication managed properly, meals cooked on the premises, support to get about safely and staff available through the night. Around that, residents arrange their own days, and we try not to organise anybody's life on their behalf. Dementia care here rests on familiarity. Keeping staff, routines and surroundings consistent removes a good deal of the anxiety that comes with memory loss, so we plan rotas with that in mind and ask families for the history that helps us make sense of somebody. For the autistic people we support, notice of change and attention to noise and busyness matter most. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether to give a family carer a planned break or to support somebody after illness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. Families across Northumberland are welcome to visit.
