About Chester Court

We are a nursing home in Bedlington, caring for people who need qualified nursing support alongside help with ordinary daily life. Nurses are on hand at any hour, which means changes in someone's condition are picked up and dealt with early rather than allowed to build into something serious. Most of the people who live here are older, and we also care for younger adults whose health needs mean nursing care is necessary. We support people living with dementia, and we build the day around the person: familiar routines kept going, time allowed for things to happen at the right pace, and staff who know someone well enough to read a mood before it becomes distress. We offer respite stays too, which might be a planned break for a family carer who has been managing at home for a long time, or a period of recovery after illness or a spell in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are glad of it, though what matters more to us is what residents and their families tell us week by week, and whether we do something about it. If you are looking at nursing care in this part of Northumberland, do come and visit. Seeing the place and meeting the staff will tell you more than any written description.
