About Us
Welcome to Barrington Lodge Care Home
Our home is only half a mile away from the town centre, with great transport links and access to the A688, making us easily accessible for visitors to pop-in for a chat. Barrington Lodge in Bishop Auckland has a high level of satisfaction among both residents and their loved ones. We offer a person-centred approach that is delivered through quality care, recreation and activities, and food and dining.
We have a vibrant programme of activities and events aimed at stimulating mind, body and soul and all based around our current resident interests. Our residents like to keep busy and the regular events and clubs they enjoy include:
- Weekly coffee and quiz morning
- Weekly craft club at a local pub
- Monthly visit from a pet therapy dog
- Seasonal parties
We are rated as Good in all areas by the CQC. In a recent report, inspectors praised our home for its “person-centred vision that treated people with dignity and respect.”
Our residents enjoy a vibrant schedule of stimulating activities both inside and outside the home, and our home minibus allows residents to be escorted and supported on days out, whether for lunch and shopping or visiting Auckland Castle.
For our residents with reduced mobility, we ensure they make the most of activities within the home, helping to host events such as coffee mornings to raise money for dementia charities and other conditions close to our hearts.
We have an extremely dedicated team at Barrington Lodge Care Home and they are passionate about what they do. Resident care plans reflect all that an individual would want and need for their care to be delivered in the way they choose, with independence and dignity as prime considerations. All care teams are dedicated to delivering the best of care to all residents and work closely with GP’s and other clinical professionals from the local area to ensure that residents are well cared for.
