St William’s Residential Home

 

St William's is a small and welcoming home that is rated ‘excellent’ by the Care Quality Commission, the highest possible accolade to be awarded. The home is surrounded by mature landscaped grounds in a quiet residential area of Darlington.

 

The care we offer
St William’s provides residential care as well as convalescence, palliative care and respite. Our staff are highly trained in providing expert care. Each resident is looked after and supported with a focus on their individual needs and requirements.

Key features of St William's
The home was originally a convent and the local church is situated next door. St William's was converted and extended in 1986 to provide a warm, friendly and well equipped home, while maintaining much of its character. Bedrooms are beautifully decorated and complete the homely feel that residents enjoy here.

Home life
Residents can choose to relax in a choice of comfortable, well furnished lounges. One of these includes patio doors that lead onto the patio and cottage garden. These comfortable areas allow space to watch television, catch up with friends or simply spend some quiet time.

Types of care

  • Residential
    Residential homes provide accommodation, meals and personal care, such as help with bathing and dressing, for those who are finding it difficult to cope at home without help, or who need more help than their carers are able to provide. They do not generally provide nursing care for any medical conditions you may have. The minimum age for admission is normally 65, although you should check with individual homes as some homes will accept younger residents.
  • Respite
    Respite care can offer a welcome break for you and/or your carer and can be provided in most care homes, offering residents a temporary stay for perhaps a week or two. It can also help to cover periods of time when a carer is unavailable. Many Bupa care homes offer respite care if there is a room vacant.
  • Palliative
    This is active, compassionate care of the chronically and terminally ill, directed towards improving the quality of life. Palliative care particularly focuses on the control of pain and symptoms. These specialist approaches include the individual, the family, carers and friends, and extend to bereavement and grief.
  • Convalescence
    Homes that offer short term care for people recovering from illness or an operation.
