DurhamGate is the best care home I have come across. My partner is safe, well cared for and any issues such as a new medical condition are promptly dealt with. The staff are caring and efficient. The atmosphere is lively - unlike any other care home I have visited. Food tasty and diets catered for. The social events organised are top rate. It does not smell. Laundry and cleaning all excellent. A real home from home.

Made to feel part of a welcoming and caring family. Dignity and empathy shown at all times to myself and other residents. Feeling of loneliness and worry of ongoing life massively reduced.

I have been very impressed with Durham Gate care home. The facilities are excellent but most impressive is how helpful and friendly the staff are.

I've been ill in hospital - my medical needs were met, it was the continuous noise and hustle and bustle of a very busy mainstream hospital that I couldn't take. I urgently needed some peace, quiet and respite care. I was most fortunate that my husband was able to have me discharged and taken to The DurhamGate. I just about crawled into The DurhamGate's pampering, secure, beautifully clean space - a warm and caring environment. I had my own room, a comfortable bed, a lock on my door and a lovely bathroom- all to myself. 6 days later I walked out, able to go home, where I needed to be - not totally better - I'd a long way to go to be fighting fit - but I was revived, equipped to continue the healing process at home, with the help of my family and my own doctor. I shall always be grateful to the kind staff for their loving and caring support. A big THANK YOU to you all.

Dad moved to Durhamgate for residential dementia care in September 2024 from another care home and I couldn't be more impressed with the care and comfort he receives. The staff are great, the atmosphere is so welcoming for residents and their friends and family... all Dad's friends have commented on how much they feel welcome when they visit. Dad settled here much quicker than his previous home and is clearly well cared for. The calendar of events is brilliant. One of the main reasons for choosing DurhamGate was the promise of a stimulating programme for residents and they do not disappoint.

My mum moved into The DurhamGate five weeks ago and the experience couldn't have been better for her as a new resident and family members when visiting. I would have no hesitation in recommend The DurhamGate.

My mother has been here for 7 months after initially coming in for respite, and is now a permanent resident. DurhamGate has met all of her needs and she is very happy there. Everything is excellent from the decor, comfort, care, food and facilities etc. Staff are very quick to attend and reply to buzzers within seconds. They have a fantastic attitude towards all residents and are very caring. She feels very cared for, very happy, and very safe here.

This has been my second stay for respite care. I can only say The DurhamGate Care Home is as good on this occasion as it was on my first stay and I will be happy to spend further visits for respite care. The care home fulfils the description in its advertising.

The DurhamGate is an outstanding facility that meets the individual needs of its clients. All staff showed professionalism, care and compassion of the highest standards. All care facilities should aim to meet DurhamGate standards. I would highly recommend this care home to prospective clients.

Since arriving at DurhamGate my experience has been extremely positive. The quality of care from everyone is exceptional and is consistently maintained. I am thoroughly enjoying the companionship, activities and events. My independence is promoted and respected. Always a helping hand if I need it.

What a wonderful care home, every member of staff cares about the residents, lovely food, modern but very comfortable, lots of activities for the residents. All aspects of care taken care of; hairdressers, dentists, eye exam, all done in what is home to the residents and familiar for those with dementia. Happily recommend DurhamGate.

This review is on behalf of our relative, he passed away March 20th after being a resident in this beautiful care home for 8 weeks. It was every staff member that fulfilled his dying wishes. He was given 3/4 weeks to live and lasted 8 weeks due to all these marvellous people. We would all like to say a huge thank you as his family and friends for allowing us all to bid him farewell in your beautiful home. The food was superb, as was everything else. He would of been so proud, he loved them all very much. Thank you so much.

On entering DurhamGate, you are presented with a very calm, well designed and professional service. The surroundings are carefully decorated and well maintained to a high standard. Apart from the superb setting, the care my mam received was second to none. She was treated with respect, dignity and love. Her respite went smoothly and I felt she was safe and being cared for well. All the staff are professional, caring and approachable. Buzzers were answered quickly and issues dealt with promptly. You have restored my faith in the care system.

Adore DurhamGate Care Home is an absolute game changer for older people who require quality care and support. I would like to provide some very positive feedback on behalf of my parents who reside at Adore Care Home, DurhamGate, Spennymoor. My parents have received exceptional care from all staff who work within this care facility. The management style from all staff, creates a positive caring culture, that clearly has an impact on the quality of care provided, giving residents a feeling of self-worth, dignity and respect, that can clearly be seen. My parents are experiencing, inclusion, socialisation, and have made many friends through meal times, activities and events that are offered each day. I would highly recommend this care facility and believe this should be the standard and benchmark for other care homes to learn and implement good practices in those that are failing so badly. My parents are thriving and regard DurhamGate as their forever home. Thank you all so much.

I came to the home following a knee operation to get physio and time to recover from an operation. The home itself is now well designed and beautifully decorated and clean and comfortable. The staff are pleasant and efficient and friendly and always willing to help. I enjoyed being with them. They were able to laugh at themselves and others. They kept to rules about drugs which on occasions were irksome but I suppose were necessary. All in all, a pleasant visit.

My nana is currently on Durham Gate for a four week respite. It is a wonderful home, the best I've ever been in. The staff are very caring and supportive and nothing's ever a problem. As soon as you walk in you feel the caring atmosphere that is present throughout. Thank you so much for showing so much compassion while looking after my nana.

My father has already been in The DurhamGate Care Home twice for respite since the opening in November 2023. We were even invited to enjoy Christmas Day lunch which was an absolute treat. The food is second to none and everyone is cared for in their individual way. It is a first-class facility with excellent management and staff who cared for my dad whilst I was away. I did not worry once about him as I knew he was in good hands. Without doubt, DurhamGate Care Home can only be highly recommended for a loved one.

Mum was in for 2 weeks respite and the staff at DurhamGate are so pleasant, helpful and respectful to all residents. It feels like a safe and welcoming environment from the minute you step through the door. The warmth and care from the home manager and front of house filter through from the top and are responsive of every need. The food is excellent with nutritional needs being met. Mum particularly enjoyed the homemade cake and biscuits. Every member of staff promotes dignity and respect to all individuals. It was an absolute pleasure to visit a 1st class home (more like a hotel). Would I recommend? 100%, can't thank you enough.

We have had a wonderful Mother's Day celebration this month, the attention to detail second to none. The food and service were fabulous and I can honestly say it's been one of the loveliest days I have spent with my mam for a while. A missive thank you to everyone involved.
