Kings Court

Welcome to Kings Court

At Kings Court, in Barnard Castle, County Durham, our team provide specialist residential and respite care for older people. We take pride in delivering flexible, personalised and innovative care.

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.

There's a bedroom to suit every taste at Kings Court, and each is warm, bright and comfortable. Some rooms have en-suite facilities, and all include stylish furniture, phone, internet and television connections and a 24-hour nurse call system. We also have double rooms for couples and siblings who want to stay together, as well as two apartments.

They explain what they are going to do and ask her if it’s okay to do that particular thing.

Thank you all so much for taking care of Mum for almost 7 years. The work you do is invaluable and the care shown was much appreciated by all the family.

We could not have looked after Wynne as well as you all have. You are all lovely caring people and the care Wynne received was exceptional.
