Overall Experience
I would recommend this care to anyone who has a loved one who needs care.
The manager and staff make you feel so welcome as though they are family and they treat you as family . The care , the food , the dignity, and love they show to your loved ones , my mum was in there 8 months and got the best care you could wish for . If I was to go in a care home it would be this one . Can't thank all staff enough

Review from Carol K (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Dad was admitted to Blyth Country House Care Home in April 2025, after a hospital admission left him unable to care for himself. He loved his room, the care home, the staff, a special friend he made and last but not least the food. He enjoyed the activities and the continuous company. His health improved over a month and he was very happy. He put on weight; his mobility improved with physio enabling him to walk with the assistance of a rollator walking frame and a carer to the toilet and the dining room; he was well looked after by the care staff always clean with clean clothes on every day. If Dad was ill or had other problems he was promptly referred to the relevant professionals. Dad fell ill again and was admitted to hospital in May for two weeks, when he was discharged he was unable to mobilise even with physiotherapy. His health continued to deteriorate and the GP commenced end of life care. All the staff were very attentive, kind and caring to Dad and us until he passed away.

Review from G C (Friend of Resident) published on 18 December 2024 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Professional management team sets the tone so that all staff members are caring, considerate and conscientious. They all have a genuine interest in the well-being of the residents and often go "the extra mile" to ensure their comfort and happiness. The food is varied and tasty and there are frequent cups of tea/coffee and biscuits (for visitors too) - just like home.
All seasonal occasions are celebrated with family/friends invited to join in. Staff also bring their own children which the residents find uplifting. Many of the activities are connected to these occasions, e.g. Christmas decoration making. Well do every day.

Overall Experience
I can not fault this lovely care home. My mother was a resident here for five years, was treated with love and care throughout her time.
Unfortunately, my dad is now having to be cared for at Blyth Country House Care Home and I have been part of their family now!

Review from Jane E (Niece of Resident) published on 11 October 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Uncle was 12 week fast track. Management was invisible after the first visit. Basic room heating element hanging off the wall and the room was cold and a draft through the window, curtains are not thick enough. Bed sores on admittance, air mattress not provided and sores not attended to. The window opened to disguise the smell of urine. Not changed until the bedding also soaked. Dignity not shown. Request on admittance for downstairs empty room from upstairs out of way room was promised but not provided. Management did not put in an appearance even after his passing. Clinical lead was the only friendly helpful person we spoke to. Overall disgusting careless home.

Review from Anna S (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Lovely old house in a rural setting and close to major road network. My initial fears of lack of organisation and warmth and communication slowly were allayed as I witnessed the staff's routines and talked with them. This home does have a family feel to it and the carers are observant of each resident's needs. The rooms are warm and homely and the food looks plentiful and well-prepared. Residents are encouraged to be sociable but not forced.

Review from Christine B (Sister of Resident) published on 19 October 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My sister is in the home and has been a fair few months now.
I know she is looked after, cared for and treated like family!
She is happy and her health has improved since being admitted to Blyth.
Big shout out to the new charge nurse or clinical lead nurse; however you want to address her, she works very hard and makes the residents feel so comfortable.
The care staff work hard and are always smiling.

My mum is in Blyth and has been a little while now.
All staff go above and beyond for her.
There is an excellent lead nurse at the moment and she takes things in her stride as well as a lovely group of care staff.
The food is excellent and I know mum is looked after.

Overall Experience
My father was admitted here for end of life care in February. From the moment he arrived, he was given the best possible care. The staff are so warm and welcoming treating the residents like members of their own family. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone there truly goes the “extra mile”.
They made sure my father’s passing was dignified and comfortable and they were there for us every step of the way. I can’t speak too highly of this lovely home.
