About Craigarran Care Home
Craigarran Care Home is in Trimdon Station, County Durham. We provide nursing care for adults who need clinical support as well as help with daily living, including older people, people living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Nursing cover around the clock is what allows us to support people whose needs are genuinely complex. It means medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition are managed properly, and that health is watched closely enough for changes to be picked up early rather than becoming emergencies. Where somebody is approaching the end of their life, it means comfort and familiar faces rather than a move somewhere strange. The clinical side is only half of it. A nursing home can drift into being a place where the day belongs to the staff rather than to the people living in it, and we work against that. Residents choose when they get up, what they eat, whether they join in and who comes to see them. For people living with dementia we keep the day in a familiar order and take time to learn about somebody's earlier life, because it explains a great deal about how they are now. Respite and short stays are available. Please ring us if you would like to look round Craigarran.
