About Palmersdene
Here at Palmersdene, we are proud to be a care home rooted in the heart of Jarrow, South Tyneside, offering a warm and familiar place where older people can feel genuinely at home. We provide residential care, dementia care and respite care, meaning we are able to support people at different stages and in different circumstances. Whether someone is moving in with us permanently, or simply staying for a short while to allow a family member or carer some breathing space, we aim to make every person feel settled, respected and well looked after from the moment they arrive. Dementia care is something we take seriously. We understand how important it is to create an environment that feels calm, consistent and reassuring for people living with dementia, and we work hard to ensure that our approach is both thoughtful and person centred. Getting to know each resident as an individual, understanding their history, their preferences and what brings them comfort, is central to the way we work. Our team genuinely cares about the people who live here. We take the time to build real relationships with residents and their families, and we believe that open, honest communication makes a real difference. Families should feel confident and informed, and we welcome them as partners in the care we provide. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of good, which we feel reflects the effort and commitment of everyone who works here. Palmersdene is more than just a place to receive care. It is a community, and we are committed to making sure that life here is meaningful, comfortable and filled with moments that matter. If you would like to find out more or come and have a look around, we would love to hear from you.
