About the Home

We are currently recruiting on behalf of an exceptional, luxury care residence set within four acres of beautifully maintained landscaped gardens, overlooking the stunning Tyne Valley. Designed to feel more like an elegant country house hotel than a traditional care setting, the home offers residents a refined, comfortable and enriching environment where independence, dignity and wellbeing are always at the heart of daily life.

Perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from Hexham, under 5 minutes from Corbridge, and less than 20 minutes from Ponteland, the residence is both peaceful and highly accessible. Excellent transport links are available locally, along with additional support for staff and visitors where required.

Originally established in 1981, the service has a long-standing reputation as a pioneer in high-quality elderly care, becoming the first in Northumberland to provide both nursing and residential care. Over the years, it has evolved into a premium care environment, also offering specialist dementia support within thoughtfully designed, homely yet luxurious surroundings.

The philosophy of the service is simple: to provide an outstanding living experience for older people who deserve the very best. Every detail has been carefully considered, from beautifully presented interiors and welcoming communal lounges to peaceful garden spaces designed for relaxation and enjoyment.

Residents benefit from a vibrant yet relaxed lifestyle, with meaningful daily activities, personalised care, and a truly exceptional dining experience. Meals are freshly prepared on-site by skilled chefs using quality ingredients, offering restaurant-standard menus that reflect the standard of living the home is proud to provide.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly regarded, luxury-style care environment where the focus is on warmth, quality, and delivering an exceptional standard of life for every resident.
