Aycliffe Care Home is situated in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, just a five minute walk away from the town centre.
It has received a lot of positive feedback about the warm and friendly greeting it gives to visitors . The setting is well known for its generous hospitality!
Staff engage in a very honest, natural way with the residents. They really care about them. They always make sure they look presentable – that the ladies have their make-up on and their clothing and accessories match, that the gents are shaved and their hair combed.
When members of staff pass the residents they’re always very positive and affectionate, at the same time treating them with respect and dignity.
Aycliffe has a full-time activities co-ordinator who keeps the residents active. There is a film club. The local church has a weekly listening service. There is also a resident committee which produces a newsletter.
There’s plenty going on outside the home as well. Residents often get a taxi to town to shop, go to a café, the library, the leisure centre or perhaps to the ice cream parlour. Residents have regular trips out for example to the petting zoos.

my mam has been a resident since June 26. On admission, we didn't think mam had much time left, she seemed to have given up on life. However, mam has slowly been brought back to life. The care she has received has been fantastic. The staff are caring & supportive, they interact & socialise with my...
The manager has been amazing, giving us full support and is always approachable & friendly. Thankyou for giving mam the will to live again.
Thank you for your lovely review and wonderful feedback, your kind words will be shared with all our Aycliffe team.

Fast-forwarding over five years, I am delighted to say that I am in the best place I could possibly be, both figuratively and literally. Staff from Head Office were absolute saints in looking after my interests during the tricky process of selling my house.
My free internet access has enabled me to continue so much of my life online. I have been able to research aspects of my very complex health needs, and share the latest academic research with knowledgeable and engaged staff, from the management down. The staff are genuinely outstanding in so many ways. I have already nominated one for an award, but so many could be worthy recipients.
My dietary preferences are well met, with imaginative, tempting meals. My visitors are always warmly welcomed. Kindness is the watchword for all members of staff.
Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review, your feedback is really inspiring and will be shared with all our Aycliffe team.

Mam is happy in care home, all staff from domestic to management treat her with dignity and respect. Mam is safe, comfortable and warm, that is the most important. Had a few teething problems at first but were resolved.

My Mam came to the home in July 2025 after suffering a stroke which has left her with very little movement on her left side and days of confusion with her short term memory. I was so worried and anxious about finding the right home for her to start her recovery journey but I can definitely say now that I couldn't have chosen a better home to look after her. From day one the staff were welcoming, approachable and so caring. You can tell immediately that they are passionate about their work and providing the best care. She has a lovely room, its always immaculate and clean. Her meals are always amazing, plenty of choice too. We can visit anytime we like and even take our dogs to visit her. My Mam couldn't be in better hands and she has built such strong bonds with the staff. I honestly couldn't be happier with the care being given to my Mam. It has been such a relief to not have to constantly worry about her welfare and wellbeing. I'm so grateful to all the staff, thank you!!
Thank you for such a lovely review, your feedback will be passed to all of our deserving Aycliffe team.
Since my family member has moved into the home, the experience for my whole family has been very positive, the staff such kindness and care to everyone, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the manager has been very supportive and put our minds at rest to this new move in a care home setting.

She is cared for with kindness and compassion and is very settled and content.

It is well managed, spotlessly clean, the Staff are efficient, friendly, caring, kind, and they have embraced my Mam and her needs. Mam is always well presented; she is happy and content with her new 'family'. I cannot praise Aycliffe Care Home enough. Aycliffe Care Home have gone above and beyond my expectations.
A Five Star Care Provider -Thank You.
Lovely care home with very caring staff. Regular use of agency staff does not seem to affect service delivery. Cleanliness is good, no awful smells (always a bonus). The only negative comment is around communication between management and me (as next of kin) but hopefully, this will improve when...
Lovely care home with very caring staff. Regular use of agency staff does not seem to affect service delivery. Cleanliness is good, no awful smells (always a bonus). The only negative comment is around communication between management and me (as next of kin) but hopefully, this will improve when the recently departed manager is replaced. Overall, very satisfied with my mother's care.

My dad went into the care home for end-of-life care in December and was there for a fortnight before he died. The staff were absolutely wonderful from start to finish and went the extra mile! I have nothing but praise for them. They implemented the Namaste plan we had developed to ensure my dad had familiar and comforting sensations and cared for us as a family with compassion. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely review, your kind words and praise at this sad time will be passed to all our team.

The only times that they are let down is when there is short staffing, possibly holidays or staff sickness issues. Then you can see the staff getting stretched and stressed.
I sometimes feel the meals could be a little better, they sometimes don't look the most appetising so we often bring fresh food in to supplement.
Such a friendly welcoming from all staff and the care is second to none.

Thank you for you kind words and support - we are very honoured to look after your family members.
Mum, me and the rest of the family describe the experience at Aycliffe Care Home as "superb". We could not ask for better care for Mum. Every member of staff is pleasant and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The whole of the atmosphere is happy and relaxed.
