Kings Court Care Home in Barnard Castle, County Durham

Our home is in the centre of Barnard Castle, so we like to get out and about for outings, a walk, for tea or lunch in a café or pub, or to look around the collections in the local museum. We’re here to help your loved one to live as independently as possible. They can help around the home, take part in activities, and we always have time for them one-to-one as well.

Our enhanced Safety and cleanliness procedures and clear visiting protocols help keep everyone safe and feeling connected.
