About Willowdene Care Home
Willowdene Care Home is a nursing home in Stockton on Tees. We care for older people whose health needs mean qualified nurses should be close at hand, including many people living with dementia, and we also support people with physical disabilities and younger adults with nursing needs. Having nurses on site means somebody does not have to move again when their health changes, which spares a frail person a great deal of upheaval and their family a great deal of worry. It also lets relatives hand over the exhausting business of coordinating appointments and treatments and go back to being family. Around the nursing, we keep life as ordinary as we can. People choose when to get up, what they eat and how they spend their days, and for people living with dementia we hold routines steady and allow plenty of time, because hurrying someone who is confused achieves nothing. Respite stays are available too, for carers needing a break or for someone recovering after a hospital admission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. We treat it as a floor rather than a ceiling and keep our own checks running in between. If you are considering nursing care for someone close to you, please come and visit on an ordinary day and meet the people who would be looking after them.
