Welcome to Willowdene.
Located between Sedgefield and Fishburn in County Durham on Lizard Lane, just off Salter’s Lane, Willowdene Care Home is nestled in charming rural countryside.
The home is a two-storey, purpose-built building which specialises in general nursing, residential and EMI residential care. The Maples houses EMI residential residents and has a secure garden at the front of the home for residents to enjoy. Sycamore houses residential clients who have access to garden’s in the back of the home and the Elms is the nursing unit located on the second floor.
The home has a dining room and lounge in each unit along with a cosy coffee shop supplying complimentary refreshments for residents and guests and a conservatory. All bedrooms are provided fully furnished with communal shower rooms and bath amenities.
They have a full-time activities coordinator who provides a stimulating programme of creative and fun activities, entertainment, events and outings for residents to choose from, which also includes one-to-one sessions, weekly choir and chair exercises to name but a few.
They have a 4-star award in Food Hygiene awarded in February 2020 and believe food is a huge aspect of care and residents enjoy a cooked breakfast, choice of lunch and dinner meals, supper and hospitality trolley with drinks and cakes throughout the day.
The home has a small car park located at the front of the building for visitors and the nearest bus station is in Sedgefield Town.
The home's manager was awarded a prestigious 'dementia champion award' in 2017 for her work in promoting best practice and developing innovative services for people living with dementia at the home. This included introducing regular 'dementia friends' talks, increasing staff training on dementia awareness, and adding and adapting features to make the home environment more dementia-friendly.

The manager and all the staff at Willowdene are friendly and approachable at all times in what has been a difficult situation with Covid-19. I have not been able to visit my mum in the normal way because of Covid rules but the home has helped as much as possible with Skype calling and other visiting opportunities when rules have been relaxed. My mum has advanced dementia but I know she is well cared for because she is happy.
I have been greatly impressed with the care and friendliness of all staff, nothing is a trouble to them. Having been involved in nursing all my working life, it is a pleasure and relief that my brother is so well cared for in lovely surroundings.
