A beautiful home in the heart of Easington Colliery, it’s the team which makes Birchwood Court special. The home has a warm family feel, with many of the staff having been there for over 10 years.
They are devoted to enriching the lives of their residents and supporting them to do the things they love. There are so many trips organised, from riding on the beach buggies and enjoying fish and chips at Seaham Beach, to visits to the community over 60s club, and local garden and shopping centres.
There are welcoming lounges, where residents enjoy so many activities, from exercise sessions with 'Mr Motivator', live music and cocktails, to pamper sessions, with manicures and hand massages. There is also a cinema lounge for movie nights.
The home has its own pub, The Birchwood Arms, for themed nights, karaoke and games. The residents enjoy some healthy competition with table tennis, and there’s a beautiful hair salon, for regular appointments with the mobile hairdresser.
The community are embraced into life in the home, with regular community coffee mornings held there. School children often visit to enjoy activities, or to treat the residents to music and dance performances. Next door to Sanctuary Care’s Ashwood Park home, the residents often get together for trips and activities, creating lasting friendships.
With so many of the residents being animal lovers, the team organise plenty of animal visits, from pups and well-behaved dogs to more unusual creatures, like a pet therapy fox!
In the dining rooms they enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals prepared by the chef, from roast dinners with all the trimmings and fish and chip Fridays, to home-baking for afternoon tea. Birchwood Court also has a beautiful vintage tearoom, which a lovely place to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. And there is a private family and friends Facebook page, keeping everyone connected.

Lovely care home, at Easter there were lots of Easter eggs for the residents, colouring in, photo’s taken with big blown-up bunnies, and Easter cards made with the photos and sent to the families on an Easter card it was beautiful. The staff are lovely and welcoming and always there to talk to.

My sister has now been a resident at Birchwood Court for the last three years. My niece and I visit her at least twice a week and in that time, I have found Birchwood to be a really good care home and residents are treated with respect and dignity. Personally speaking, I cannot praise the staff and management enough for all their hard work, support and dedication. I know my sister appreciates their help and has a good rapport with them. I think the staff there are wonderful and are always prepared to listen to any concerns you may have.
Lovely place with caring staff, and nothing is too much of a bother for them. They're always happy to help. Mam is happy and well cared for and feels safe here.
