Langley House Care Centre is a residential care home in County Durham, providing accommodation and support for older people, including those living with dementia. The findings below set out what CQC observed during its most recent inspection.

This residential care home accommodates up to 30 people, including those living with dementia, in a single-storey adapted building. At the time of inspection, 25 people were using the service. People and relatives felt the service was safe, with the home maintained to a good standard and regular safety checks carried out.

There were sufficient staff available to respond quickly to people's needs, and any incidents or accidents were addressed with learning shared across the team.

Staff received training and regular supervision to support them in meeting people's needs effectively. The home provided nutritional support to residents and had designed its environment to be supportive for people with dementia.
