Ventress Hall

Welcome to Ventress Hall

Ventress Hall is all about enjoying quality care and fulfilling days in a lovely setting. The team at our Darlington, County Durham care home provides nursing, residential and dementia care, as well as sensitive end of life care. We also offer short term (respite) care.

Every bedroom at Ventress Hall care home is different - some feature high ceilings, while others open directly onto our courtyards. Each room has a 24-hour nurse call system as well as phone and television connections. Most rooms have en-suite facilities and we also have a few shared or double rooms that are ideal for couples.

Throughout the care home there are ample spaces to relax, socialise or to do activities. There are several lounges and dining rooms, a library, hair salon and a warm and sunny conservatory. Outside, our two courtyard gardens are a lovely spot for enjoying a cup of tea in the sun. The home and gardens are fully wheelchair accessible.

I love seeing the residents happy, and I enjoy seeing the positive impact of the work we do. We often have residents join us for short term respite care as they convalesce after an illness or operation. It’s wonderful to see them recover and return home.

CQC Rating: Requires Improvement

We are working very hard to ensure that the service we provide is of the highest quality. We are aware that CQC have highlighted we need to make improvements to our service, we have a comprehensive service improvement plan in place to ensure we are acting to make changes that will be sustained and embedded. Much progress has already been made and it was reassuring to read that the inspectors found that the team has a caring attitude. We have appointed a new manager who is already completing the CQC Registered Manager process. Please ask the home manager if you wish to discuss the contents of our service improvement plan.

What others have to say

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

Ventress Hall is a truly special place and the care is amazing. Nowhere else could have cared for Mum better. 

Just when we thought the staff couldn't be more kind and thoughtful, another act of kindness would come through the door.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Daughter of a resident, November 2021

Thank you to all of you for making me feel so welcome, and to all your staff who were so caring and treated me like royalty.

A.H, Resident, February 2020

Darlington Borough Council were informed of the wonderful care you are providing for our brother and the warm family environment you are all providing. My brother has improved so much since being with you for which we thank you and are most grateful.

M.P (Sister of Resident), September 2019

They keep me fully informed of any issues he may be having, for example with his medication.

Mrs S.B, Relative of a resident, July 2019

It’s always nice working with you Judy. Your support has been appreciated.
