Church View

Welcome to Church View

Our care home in the village of Murton, near Seaham in County Durham, offers personalised residential, and respite care for up to 42 older people, including those with dementia. We also offer supportive and sensitive end of life care.

Residents are at the heart of everything we do, and we treat each person as an individual. When your loved one joins us, we will find out everything we can about their life so that we can personalise every aspect of their time with us to their precise needs, interests and wishes.

Each of the bedrooms at Church View is airy, bright and comfortable and has en-suite facilities, stylish furniture, a 24-hour nurse call system and telephone and TV sockets. We encourage every resident to personalise their room with small pieces of their own furniture and other treasured possessions to make them feel more at home.

We pride ourselves on the transparency of our care quality and fee information - ensuring you can trust us to care from that very first step.

The dedicated and experienced team at Church View will provide your loved one with care that is completely tailored to their individual needs and wishes.

As Home Manager, you need to be friendly and approachable, have good knowledge around care and be able to make decisions in what can be stressful situations. It’s my job to make sure residents are happy, comfortable and all their needs are met. Spending time with the residents, building relationships with them and seeing their smiles is still my favourite part of my role.

What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Church View care home.

A big thank you to all the staff at Church View for the care you gave to Dad. We appreciate everything you did for Dad.

Relative of a resident, July 2024

Thank you for all the support you have given to my mother and to our family for all the years.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

Communication from the home is good. I get regular phone calls asking if there is any more they can do... we check through the care plan together for my loved one to make sure everything is in order, and they keep me informed if there are any incidents or issues with her health, even if it’s a minor thing they will contact me.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

All the staff, including management, are very helpful and approachable… always happy to answer any questions I may have, and if any issues arise with my loved one, I'm informed immediately.. They make time for you when you visit and always make you feel welcome. There is always plenty going on to keep residents engaged and entertained, they celebrate special occasions and really do their best for the residents.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The care I have witnessed has been outstanding and the team have made us all feel extremely welcome.
