We took some of our residents to support Sara Cox on her day 3 of running 135miles for children in need. Sara stopped and gave 2 of our residents a big hug and thanked us for the support. She was greeted by a guard of honour of tractors . Well done Sara we will be making a donation to a fabulous cause.

This morning we remembered those who gave their tomorrow's. We had entertainment from but before that we paid our respects by doing the 2 minute silence. It was so heartwarming seeing residents standing with their hand on their heart during the 2 minute silence.
Afterwards we sang and danced along to wartime songs.

This morning everyone was offered a poppy and in the lounge we watched the rememberance service together. Tuesday we will remember them once again.
We remembered all our dear residents who we have lost in the last year.
Thank you to all that have served us and we wear our poppies with pride.
Lest we forget.

Kings Court

Kings Court care home is in the centre of the attractive town of Barnard Castle in County Durham.

We provide specialist residential and respite care for older people, as well as a day club and a home meal delivery service. We take pride in delivering flexible, personalised and innovative care.

Residents are at the heart of everything we do. The activities we organise are tailored to their needs and interests, and we organise activities, outings and events that will appeal to them. We’re also active in the close-knit community of Barnard Castle and take part in local craft fairs as well as groups like the WI. We love the exclusive performance that the Barnard Castle Players - a local theatrical group – give us twice a year before their show opens at the theatre.

Our historic building used to be the King’s Head hotel. Charles Dickens once stayed here and even mentioned it in ‘Nicholas Nickleby’. The hotel ballroom is now our residents’ lounge and many of our bedrooms are generously sized too.
