St Margaret's Care Home
CQC-rated Good care home at Crossgate near the city centre, providing residential, nursing and residential dementia care.
About St Margaret's Care Home
St Margaret's Care Home sits at Crossgate, on the western side of the peninsula close to the historic centre of Durham, in one of the city's older and more characterful areas. Rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, it provides residential, nursing and residential dementia care, supporting older people with a range of needs in a central, community setting. Its position near the centre makes it convenient for family visits and keeps residents close to the life of the city.
As with all care homes, the right choice depends on an individual's specific needs, funding arrangements and the availability of the appropriate type of bed, so a visit and a conversation with the home are the best starting point. Fees, current vacancies and the exact care provided are best confirmed directly with the home and checked against its latest CQC inspection report.
