Nestled within Ryton, our home benefits from the calm, residential character of this Gateshead village setting. The surrounding area offers a peaceful backdrop for daily life, with the familiar rhythms of local community life close by. Inside, we aim to create a warm, homely environment where residents can relax in comfortable communal spaces, enjoy quiet moments in their own rooms, or spend time with visiting family in welcoming shared areas. Our care is shaped around the individual needs of every person who lives with us. As a nursing home, we support older people with a wide range of health needs, delivering skilled clinical care alongside the everyday warmth that makes somewhere feel like home. For families whose loved ones are living with dementia, our team offers compassionate, person centred support that focuses on preserving dignity, encouraging familiar routines, and creating moments of connection each day. We also welcome residents with mental health needs, providing patient, understanding care that respects each person's story and supports their emotional wellbeing. For those living with a physical disability, we work closely with residents and their families to promote independence wherever possible, adapting our approach so that daily life feels manageable, comfortable, and meaningful. We also offer respite care, giving family carers the chance to take a well earned break, safe in the knowledge that their loved one is being looked after with the same attention and warmth we give to every permanent resident. Respite stays can also be a gentle way to experience life at Addison Court before considering longer term arrangements. What this means in practice is that families can expect open communication, thoughtful planning, and a team that takes time to understand not just medical needs but preferences, hobbies, life histories, and the small details that bring comfort. From the way a morning cup of tea is made to the music playing in the lounge, we believe that personalised touches make all the difference.
