Kings Court care home provides specialist residential and respite care for older people. The team takes pride in delivering flexible, personalised and innovative care.
There's a bedroom to suit every taste at Kings Court, and each is warm, bright and comfortable. The lifestyle team organises activities, outings and events tailored to residents' needs and interests, and the home is also active in the close-knit community of Barnard Castle, taking part in local craft fairs as well as groups like the WI.
The historic building used to be the King’s Head hotel. Charles Dickens once stayed here and even mentioned it in ‘Nicholas Nickleby’. The hotel ballroom is now the residents’ lounge, and many bedrooms are generously sized too.
From the manager
“I’ve worked at Kings Court for almost 19 years, having started as a Care Assistant before progressing to Senior Carer, then Deputy Manager and now Home Manager. I joined Care UK because they really care about both residents and colleagues. They do an amazing job of helping team members in their homes to progress. As Home Manager, I run Kings Court and ensure everyone in the home is safe and happy. I believe the most important quality to have is to care. I care about residents and will do everything I can to ensure they have a fulfilling and happy life while living with us at Kings Court. I love my job. Becoming Home Manager at Kings Court has been the biggest highlight of my career to date. I’m excited to make positive changes in my role, as I love to see residents happy and loving life. I’m proud when I know that we as a team are making Kings Court an amazing place to live. A fun fact about me is that I come from a farming family, and I love cows! When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family.”
