About Sycamore Care Centre - Boldon
Sycamore Care Centre in Boldon Colliery is a nursing home in South Tyneside. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays. Having registered nurses on the team means we can care for people whose health needs are complex, and we can usually go on caring for somebody as those needs increase rather than asking them to move again. Families often come to us at the point where residential care is no longer enough, and what they want most is for the moving to stop. We keep the home unhurried. People wake in their own time, eat what they enjoy and spend the day in company or quietly as they choose. Rooms belong to the residents and we treat them as private. For people living with dementia, we work from knowledge of the person, keeping the surroundings calm and familiar and giving time rather than instruction. We stay in close contact with GPs and community teams so that problems are picked up early and hospital admissions happen only when genuinely needed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at nursing care in this part of the North East, please come and visit, meet the team and ask us anything you need to know.
