Stanley Park is a bright, welcoming home, where the skilled and caring team delivers personalised care with dignity and compassion. This includes short-term and permanent residential, nursing and care for people who are living with dementia.
Each bedroom within the County Durham home has en-suite facilities and is well furnished. Many of the bedrooms also benefit from views of the lovely garden, which ground flor rooms have direct access to. The 24-hour nurse call systems offers ultimate peace of mind.
Group and one-to-one activities are tailored to residents’ hobbies and interests, and the lifestyle team also organises visits from entertainers and regular trips out. At Stanley Park, residents tell the team the sort of home they want, and the team makes it happen.

Pleased with the care and support mum receives. It's reassuring and gives peace of mind to know she's safe and looked after.

I have no problems with Stanley Park. If there are any issues, they deal with it straight away. It's a lovely home and I'm pleased my mam is a resident here.

My wife lived here first then I followed. Everyone is very nice to us and look after us well. We have everything we want and don't have to worry anymore.

The home is very clean, welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. There is a constant stream of tea/coffee and refreshments and my mum has not been this happy for years.

I can't praise the staff enough for what they do the attention they give is astonishing. The home is very clean and well looked after. The home is friendly with a happy atmosphere and nothing is any trouble. We love going to the pub on the ground floor. The management always has a friendly word and smile. The staff deserve a medal for the hard work and devotion they give.
There was an entertainer on at the home. All the residents and relatives that attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves, it brought my dad back to me for a day as he sang along to all the songs. It was a very precious moment for me. The staff excel in their care and consideration towards all the...
There was an entertainer on at the home. All the residents and relatives that attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves, it brought my dad back to me for a day as he sang along to all the songs. It was a very precious moment for me. The staff excel in their care and consideration towards all the residents. I hope that if I need to go into a home, the staff are as friendly and helpful as they are at Stanley Park.

Overall we feel the staff are very good and caring but find residents are left alone to sit around and seem so lonely because the staff are very much understaffed and don't have the time to talk to them which in our minds feels would help to stimulate their minds especially the residents who can converse. The televisions are switched on but not much thought put into what's on, a film would be much easier for some residents to relate to e.g musical or cowboy film.

We are grateful for your constructive feedback and are pleased that you are happy with the care we provide. I understand that the home manager has now met with you to explain that our staffing levels are based on a dependency tool which is updated and checked on a weekly basis, and conforms to national staffing requirements. This is then used to plan staff deployment accordingly to ensure care is safe and appropriate for all residents at Stanley Park. With regard to the televisions, there is a structured activities plan in place which is displayed throughout the home to show what activities and films are on each day. We have various themed film days, such as Golden Oldies afternoons/Saturday Matinees which include the classic musicals. The needs of our residents on the Nursing unit are very complex and activities/stimulation is very important to our team and we are continuously striving to introduce new ideas and concepts. We do take your concerns and feedback seriously and would like to thank you for taking the time to share your views.

I served in the Scots Guards for 25 years before moving into adult social care. My military background gave me strong leadership skills and a calm, adaptable approach, which I now use every day to support residents and colleagues at Stanley Park.
Before joining Care UK, I worked as a Home Manager and was drawn here because of the organisation’s strong values and reputation for delivering person-centred care. I believe the most important part of my role is being supportive and understanding, ensuring good communication and teamwork throughout the home.
I would describe myself as flexible and patient. It’s important to me to make time to connect with both residents and colleagues. My favourite part of the day is sharing a laugh or a fun moment with the people around me. Seeing residents happy and enjoying themselves makes me incredibly proud.
One of the highlights of my earlier career was taking part in the Queen’s Birthday Parade and seeing different parts of the world through my military service.
Outside of work, I enjoy fishing and camping.
