About Ashwood Park Residential and Nursing Home
We at Ashwood Park Residential and Nursing Home are proud to offer specialist nursing and residential care in the heart of Peterlee, County Durham. Our home provides a warm, welcoming environment where residents receive compassionate support tailored to their individual needs, whether they are joining us for long term care or a short respite stay. Set within the SR postcode area of Peterlee, our home benefits from the peaceful surroundings of this well established County Durham community. The town offers a friendly, familiar atmosphere that many of our residents and their families appreciate, whilst remaining well connected to the wider North East region. Our setting has been thoughtfully arranged to feel comfortable, safe, and truly homely, giving residents a place they can genuinely call home. Our team is experienced in providing a broad range of specialist care, including nursing care, older person care, dementia care, support for younger adults, and respite care. For families, this means the reassurance of knowing that clinical needs are managed by qualified nursing staff around the clock, whilst residents living with dementia receive person centred support that focuses on dignity, familiarity, and gentle routine. Our respite care offers a valuable option for those recovering from illness or a hospital stay, and provides much needed rest for family carers, knowing their loved one is in safe and capable hands. By welcoming younger adults alongside older residents, we ensure that care is shaped around the person rather than their age, with individual preferences, interests, and life histories informing every aspect of the support we provide. Day to day, this translates into calm mornings, meaningful activities, nourishing meals, and the simple pleasures of companionship and conversation. Families are warmly encouraged to visit, take part in celebrations, and remain closely involved in the lives of their loved ones. We understand how important open communication is during what can be an emotional time, and we work hard to build honest, trusting relationships with the families who place their confidence in us. We are pleased that our commitment to quality is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, dated September 2022, in which we received an overall rating of Good. Importantly, we were rated Good across all five key domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. For families researching care options, this consistent recognition offers meaningful assurance that the standards of safety, leadership, and compassion within our home have been independently verified. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the care, thought, and emotion involved. If you are considering nursing or residential care in Peterlee for yourself or someone you love, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch to arrange a visit, ask questions, or simply have a friendly conversation about how we might be able to help.
