St Margaret's Care Home

St Margaret's Care Home, situated in Crossgate and overlooking the famous Durham Cathedral and Castle, supports elderly individuals requiring residential care, including residential dementia and nursing assistance. We serve those who need convalescent, post-operative, long-term, or short-term care. Our caring team specialises in supporting residents with issues like strokes, diabetes, frailty, incontinence, heart disease, and hearing and vision impairments.

Our specially designed care home contains 59 elegantly decorated bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities, furniture, a call bell, and a TV point. Many rooms provide lovely views of the gardens and the surrounding area. We encourage residents to personalise their bedrooms, making them feel at home in St Margaret's.

We are thrilled to share that a refurbishment program is currently underway. This program aims to revitalise our living spaces and better address the unique needs of our residents. This renovation will foster an even more inviting environment for all.

St Margaret's features numerous welcoming communal spaces that offer great opportunities for social interaction, relaxation, and various activities. Residents can enjoy four comfortable sitting rooms and four pleasant dining areas. They can treat themselves at our hair salon or nail bar, participate in activities in our hobby room, or relax in our serene quiet room. Outside, there is a meticulously maintained courtyard garden, lovingly tended by some of our gardening enthusiasts. Our facility has been carefully designed with accessibility in mind, accommodating those who use wheelchairs or face mobility challenges.

St Margaret's also has a dedicated Wellbeing Coordinator who organises enjoyable activities and events for our residents. We conduct regular social committee meetings to gather input on what our residents wish to see on the weekly activities calendar. We focus on ensuring something fun for everyone, ranging from gardening to baking, and arts and crafts. Additionally, we have a minibus that takes residents on local day trips to garden centres, parks, and cafes.
