Defoe Court

In a quiet, residential area close to the picturesque Newton Aycliffe in County Durham, Defoe Court is a friendly, purpose-built care home with 41 beds offering residential and nursing care.

The ever-popular hairdressing salon and the tea room at Defoe Court are two perfect spots for Residents to relax and socialise. There is a room designated for Residents wishing to pursue hobbies and interests. The pretty, enclosed garden, which is taken care of by some Residents, is a favourite location to enjoy a catch up with friends and family, especially on summer days. The stylish, comfortable bedrooms and living areas are all easily accessible by wheelchair.

The home’s caring team has created a family atmosphere, encouraging everyone to eat and celebrate special occasions together. Residents are invited to decorate their rooms with small items of their own furniture and treasured belongings so that it feels just like home. Daily life is thoughtfully designed to support mind, body and soul.

Defoe Court’s Home Manager makes sure that all Residents receive the kindest possible care. Our extensively trained team will deliver all the nursing and specialist care and support services that your loved one requires. Personalised care plans consider not only medical, personal and dietary needs, but also the individual’s likes and dislikes, religious preferences, and suggestions from family members that might make their stay with us that little bit more enjoyable.
