Our mother lived at Chester Court from 1st January 2026 until she died on 9th March 2026. We knew that her long life was coming to its end and she died comfortably and peacefully. We were most impressed with all the care she received at Chester Court and feel lucky and grateful that we were able to choose Chester Court to look after her. The home is well staffed with all the people she needed and every member of staff was kind and caring. Thank you all for looking after her so well.

My Dad has lived at Chester Court for 5 years now. He has a great relationship with his carers and staff members, he views them as "family" in his words. My Dad is always well presented, clean and happy. If we have had any minor worries in the past, these have been dealt with accordingly to provide the best outcome. My Dad particularly enjoys going out on trips with the Activities team.

My mam had a fairly short stay at Barchester Chester Court Care Home, Bedlington. My mam had a cancer in a very personal area, she passed away there on the 16th January 2025. The care and kindness given to my mam was amazing. The team there were outstanding. I could not thank them enough. Mam was treated in a very professional way whilst staff still made sure Mam kept her dignity. They absolutely covered her with love. Also, through her final days, the care they gave to us, as a family, was amazing. The home was lovely and friendly and did not smell like a care home. All I can say is a massive thank you. You all are an amazing group of people.

Some of the carers and nurses were very professional and it was very comforting to see the way they looked after and interacted with her when she was unwell.
We found your organisation to be very good with some exceptional staff and you should be very proud of the service you provide.

Having spent several months in Barchester Chester Court Care Home, my husband became one of the amazing family who live and work here. He felt at home with extremely caring and cheerful staff and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent food, some activities and visits to the garden to see how tomatoes were progressing in the greenhouse. Best wishes and thanks to everyone here for the future and continuing five star service.

Hi, my name is Laura, and I am the General Manager.
Thank you for taking the time to look further into what we have to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life.
I am a qualified nurse and have over 20 years of experience in the care sector, starting as a care assistant.
I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the home. I am very passionate about enhancing resident experiences and ensuring that our residents are at the centre of everything we do.
I work with a long-standing supportive team who aim to achieve the best for the home. I look forward to welcoming you to our home.

Hi, my name is Memory Gatsi, and I am the Deputy Manager at Chester Court Care Home. I qualified as a Nurse in 2006, and I started with Barchester in 2021 as a Nurse. I was then promoted to Deputy Manager in August 2023. I enjoy working as a nurse, and I enjoy spending time with residents and ensuring that their needs are met in a safe and timely manner. I work hard to provide high-standard care and to support residents to maintain their independence as much as possible for as long as they can.

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Chester Court. I joined the team in December 2020 and bring a wealth of enthusiasm to the role. I graduated from university in July 2020 and have previously completed work experience at another Barchester home. During this work experience, I discovered how meaningful and important activities are for residents and how they can help enhance residents’ lives. Therefore, I decided to become an activities coordinator myself as I feel this is such a rewarding role.
I love working with our Residents here at the home and getting to know them and their families so that I can deliver and support in meaningful activities, keeping them socially stimulated and active as part of our extensive life enrichment calendar. The lifestyle and continued community links are also important.

I am the Head Chef at Chester Court Care Home and have worked at the home since 2000. I lead the home's hospitality team, and we work together in creating and developing seasonal home-cooked menus that are nutritious and varied. I ensure that we know each resident and their preferences, keeping them satisfied with a diverse and delicious range of meals. All of our food is home-cooked with fresh ingredients. I love my job.

I have worked at Chester Court since 2011 and have loved every minute. I spent 15 years in the building trade before coming to Chester Court Care Home, so I have a wide range of skills that are always being used.
My job is to keep the home and grounds looking their best, making sure each room is as individual as the residents themselves.

My name is Susan Dunn, and I am the Head Housekeeper here at Chester Court. I have been in this role since August 2023. Before moving to Chester Court, I worked as a housekeeper in care homes since 2017.
I have always worked in cleaning, but I enjoy working in care homes more than previous jobs. I love chatting to the residents and also keeping their homes clean and tidy. My main priority is making sure the resident's home is as clean as I like my home.
