I'm so grateful for the incredible care given to my aunt, who's been at Mount Vale for the past few months. Nothing beats being in your own home and we were unsure how she'd do with the change but she feels settled and at home there and has been made to feel welcome by everyone. Care staff are warm and attentive with her and she says they listen to her. Whenever there's been a concern or a request from our family, there's always been someone to talk to and deal with most things quickly. There were some changes recently that we felt a bit uncertain about, but Sue and the other new staff have done so much to enhance the home and care for residents and support to families. Thank you to everyone there for giving my aunt a safe and pleasant pleasant place to live!
My wife sadly is unlikely to return home but I can relax in the knowledge she is looked after like family

My wife arrived at Mount Vale to convalesce after a period in hospital as a result of a bad experience in another care home. It was not practical to provide the nursing she required at home. As a result I was very apprehensive about further care but from the moment I went into Mount Vale I was reassured that they could demonstrate they had the experience to provide the care required. I was also immediately struck by the welcoming and 'homely' atmosphere of the lovely building and grounds.
The care my wife received in her time there was wonderful, the team were just brilliant, very attentive to her needs and the specific care she required. I would also like to thank them all for the support they provided to me at a difficult time - I was made so welcome by everyone
My friend has been a resident at Mount Vale in Northallerton since Dec 2025..She had isolated herself at home since COVID began. She had become agoraphobic and very confused. She was unable to look after herself and had been neglectful of her safety, her hygiene and her animals. I brought her to...
The care staff are amazing. They know every residents needs and quirks. Always polite, smiling and engaging with residents and visitors.
I can rest knowing my friend is in good hands and I feel part of a large extended loving family .

They work with his 1:1 carers reporting rare sub-par care so we can address it. They encourage Mum eating their lovely food with Dad. They facilitate his regular haircuts and podiatry and ensure he regularly sees the nurse from his GP practice and community dentist.
They ring to let me know about his falls and have referred him to the falls team even though Dad won't comply with any advice they give! They try to get him to stay still by feeding him and have moved his room so he is closer to the heart of the unit for closer monitoring.
As a family we are so thankful to Trudi and every single one of her team for their care and compassion to Dad, his family and friends. Not fair to single anyone out as all wonderful!

I can not thank Mount Vale enough for their excellent care of our father on Memory Lane. Every member of staff has a wonderful way of relating/caring with every resident - from a smile, to a handshake, or a cheerful smile/hello, a gentle way of getting him to sit him down or lie down on the bed. Belind, kind lovely lady, shabhu, Justin, Monata, Susie, Shaun (maintenance - who coaxed a resident back into Memory Lane).The wonderful housekeeper, and all the carers and nurses who gently smile encouragement or kindly smile as you walk by, or kindly empathise with you and gently take over the intimate/personal care in a professional way so that their daughter/family don't have to. The grounds person/gardener who make the gardens so cheerful/relaxed. Sarah - for always organising lots of lovely activities. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful team. Thank you to you all your kind care, support & making it a very happy/safe place for all residents.

My mother-in-law is a resident at Mount Vale in Northallerton. It is a very welcoming and caring home. The staff are very attentive and approachable. She is very well cared for which gives the family peace of mind. The rooms, common areas, dining room and sitting areas are very well maintained and attractive. The meals are wonderful.

Very good experience. Always smiling helpful people around. The food was right for me but always a choice if needed. The activities kept me busy and happy mixing with other residents. The marking of options doesnt give justice to the care and attention in every way.

Hi, I’m Sue.
I began my career in care in the early 1990s, starting as a Care Assistant. Over the years, I have progressed through various roles, including a Regional Support role, and have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience within the care sector. I have had the privilege of managing multiple homes, including working as a turnaround manager.
I am passionate about building strong teams and creating a positive environment where residents can live their best lives. Ensuring that residents receive the highest standard of care and have the best possible experience is something I truly care about.
Outside of work, I am a proud mum and have two dogs who bring lots of joy to my life. I enjoy crocheting and can never resist buying more wool! I also love going to the pictures every week and enjoy listening to music.
I feel incredibly proud of my career in care and remain passionate about making a difference to the lives of residents, their families and the teams I work with.

Hi, I’m Camille, Deputy Manager and Registered Nurse at Mount Vale Care Home.
I used to work in a different care home as a nurse, supporting residents with a variety of nursing and complex care needs. My experience in care has taught me that good nursing isn’t just about medications, observations and care plans; it’s about knowing the person behind them. Everyone has a story, and I’ve always enjoyed getting to know it.
One of my favourite parts of my role is leading and supporting our clinical team. I love coaching people, sharing knowledge and seeing someone grow in confidence. I try to be the person I wish I’d had around when I was learning: someone approachable who will help rather than make you afraid to ask questions.
I also genuinely enjoy spending time with our residents and learning about who they were before they came to live with us. They’ve had careers, families, adventures, romances, mischief and entire lives before we ever met them. Sometimes their stories are much more interesting than anything I could find on Netflix!
Outside of work, I’m a committed documentary binge-watcher, particularly anything involving true crime, investigations, war, soldiers or medicine. I also love House and Grey’s Anatomy. Apparently, working in healthcare all day and then coming home to watch fictional healthcare is my idea of switching off! On a good day, you may also find me in Wetherspoons.
I don’t have pets of my own, but I’ve managed to acquire several honorary ones! I’m friends with Ruby, a Spaniel–Black Labrador cross, and I’m the proud god-fur-parent to two cats, Whiskey and Kobe.
I take my work and responsibilities seriously, but I don’t think that means we have to be serious all the time. Care can be challenging, and sometimes a little kindness, a good conversation, and the right joke at the right time can completely change someone’s day.
At heart, I’m a people person. Whether I’m supporting a resident, coaching a colleague, solving a problem or simply making someone smile

Hi, I’m Sandeep. I previously worked as a delivery driver and project engineer, which gave me a varied range of experience and helped me develop a wide range of skills.
I really enjoy spending time with our residents and getting to know them as individuals. Building relationships, listening to their stories and learning about their lives is something I find very rewarding.
Outside of work, I enjoy walking, going to the gym, spending time with cars and, most importantly, spending quality time with my family.

Hi, I’m Shaki, a Healthcare Assistant at Mount Vale Care Home.
Before joining Mount Vale, I worked as an agency support worker and, before that, as an administrative officer in my home country. These roles gave me valuable experience supporting others, which I have been able to bring into my role at Mount Vale.
I really enjoy getting to know our residents and spending time with them. Building positive relationships and being there to support people is something I find very rewarding, and I believe that kindness can make a real difference, especially when someone is going through a difficult time.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. I also love reading and jogging, which helps me stay active and fit.
I don’t have a particular pet, but I do enjoy watching squirrels from afar! I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys helping people who may be struggling or in need of support, and I believe that everyone deserves kindness and understanding.

Hello, my name is Carol.
I have worked at Mount Vale since 2009. I have always worked in the housekeeping team - before my career started at Mount Vale, I worked at another care home as well as a hospital. I love my job because I get to chat with each resident every day and hear all about their life stories.
Outside of work, I like to go for walks and visit my local pub with my friends and colleagues to socialise.

Hi, I’m Lynne.
I have had a varied career and have enjoyed many different roles over the years. I worked as an office junior at Boots for 20 years, ran a pub for a couple of years, and have experience in home care and as a Healthcare Assistant with the NHS. I also worked in retail before retiring. After retirement, I joined Mount Vale Care Home, where I now work as a receptionist and cleaner.
I really enjoy spending time with our residents, learning about them and helping to make a positive difference to their day. I’m a real people person and enjoy getting to know everyone.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy doing jigsaws, reading, watching sport and completing crosswords. I also love walking my greyhound and spending time with my four-legged friend.

Jack and Pals Therapy Dogs visit Mount Vale Care Home each month and have been visiting for over three years with their owner, Wendy. The team consists of Alf and his grandson Billy, who are both Border Collies. Jack, the founding canine pal of the organisation, visited for many years until he passed this year. Their visits aim to provide companionship, friendship and spread happiness to all they visit each month. Many of the residents have been dog owners themselves and enjoy chatting to the team about their own dogs. Billy and Alf are Wendy’s own dogs, who have been temperament assessed and then insured and registered with Jack and Pals Therapy Dogs as being suitable dogs to carry the title of therapy dog. They also compete in agility and obedience, but most of all enjoy a good cuddle with their family and friends.Jack and Pal’s mission is to bring the exceptional benefits of therapy dogs to the residents of Mount Vale, and they do this free of charge, relying on donations from fundraising events, regular or one-off donations. The organisation has visiting canine pals throughout the county who visit care and nursing homes, prisons, educational settings, businesses and day care centre on a weekly and monthly basis too.

I first joined the military in 1978, chasing my boyhood dream of becoming a Royal Marine; unfortunately, I left the following year due to ill health and injuries sustained during training.I rejoined the Military in 1984 as a Telecommunications Operator in the Royal Air Force and passed out that year as a TCO(M), the M being for a Morse Operator.
I was posted to RAF Kinloss Communications Centre in Scotland for 3 years, and then to Joint Operations Centre Maastricht in the Netherlands for four years. Following that, I went to 81 Signals Unit at Bampton Castle and then on to Tactical Communications Wing (TCW) as a Corporal at RAF Brize Norton.
These postings sent me all over the world, including Jamaica, Gibraltar, the Persian Gulf, Former Yugoslavia, Africa (many locations), Germany, Cyprus, Brunei, Italy and many places in between.
I also served at RAF Leeming in the Operations Centre, MOD Harrogate and RAF Fylingdales as Senior Non-Commissioned Officer in charge of the Communications Centre.
My military career took its toll on me, and I was medically discharged through injuries received after just short of 20 years' service, and yes, I would sign up again in a heartbeat.I am a fourth-generation veteran, having my great-grandfather, Sapper Edward E Balme, who served in 2nd/1ST Northumberland Field Company Royal Engineers and is buried in Salonika Lembet Cemetery (Greece), died at Gallipoli on 11 June 1916. My grandfather, Absalom Withington, was an Engineer in the Army, and my father was a Gunner in the 17/21st Hussar Lancers, 1945/1948, serving in Palestine.
My son is a fifth-generation veteran who served for 12 Years in the RAF and is serving on TCW like myself. I do wonder if any of my many grandchildren will become the sixth generation to serve
