A Warm Welcome to The Laurels Care Home in Hetton-le-Hole

We offer a person-centred approach that is delivered through quality care, recreation and activities, and food and dining.

Our Care team offers residential care for people who need help with daily tasks, residential dementia care where we support our residents to maintain their independence and individuality, encouraging social activity and building relationships within the home, and nursing care for those who have complex medical needs.

At The Laurels, we are always happy to help, so please get in touch with our friendly team. Our most recent inspection report stated: “People received personalised care that was responsive to their needs and preferences. It was clear from our conversations with staff they knew people’s needs well”.

At our care home in Houghton Le Spring, we provide a comprehensive range of services, including residential care, nursing care, specialised residential dementia support, respite care, and palliative care.

We provide care for those paying for their own care and in some cases where there might also be a contribution from the local authority or NHS Trust. For those paying for their own care we provide an indicative weekly fee.  For those fully or partly funded by public funds, we may require an additional top up contribution.  Before you move into our home, we will go through the fees with you and provide you with the Terms and Conditions of Residency and information about the fees for the care you require and the room you select.

It’s important to get professional advice on the best way to fund the cost of care and we suggest that you take advice from a care fees expert to make sure that you have explored all the options available to you.

In order to make life easier we have contacted a national care fees planning specialist, Symponia who are dedicated to the financial issues of later life, in particular the payment of care fees. Through Symponia’s network of carefully selected and qualified financial advisers they offer you and/or your family member empathic, bespoke advice on the best way to fund weekly care fees. This approach ensures that not only are all our residents and their families aware of the legislation and how it works but they are able to explore all the financial options available to them.

It should be noted that Four Seasons and Symponia operate completely independently with no commission or financial benefit to Four Seasons as a result of your conversation or contract.
