The Manor House Barnard Castle

The Manor House is a residential care home providing personal care to 60 people aged 65 and over, with capacity for up to 76 residents. The purpose-built home includes a ground floor area specialising in care for people living with dementia.

The service is well decorated, clean and comfortable throughout. However, the dementia care area does not align with best practice guidance for people living with this condition. Mealtime experiences and food management require attention, though no harm to residents was identified. The home has been recommended to review its food provision and the environment in the dementia care area to better support residents' needs.
