Today we celebrated chinese new year a little earlier! We had an amazing Chinese lunch, using a recipe from one of our sadly missed residents who one year cooked it for the rest of the care home.
Some residents gave the chops sticks a try.

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.
