Clare Leonard, Care Home Manager

Welcome to Appleby Care Home in North Shields.

We provide care of the highest quality for the elderly on a permanent or respite basis, in lovely comfortable surroundings. Our team of experienced care professionals constantly undergo training to provide outstanding care and support to all of our residents.

There are two units within Appleby Care Home. The ground floor and part of the upper floor make up the mixed dementia unit. There is also a specialist male-only service on the upper floor for male service users who may have behaviours that are challenging.

We also offer care for convalescence, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, palliative care, and dementia.

Appleby offers a safe and secure environment promoting independence and well-being. There are a number of care packages available offering long and short-term care including nursing.

Each room has en-suite facilities and the home has a number of communal rooms. We have a large garden and patio for residents to sit outside in the warmer months and help with planting flowers and plants. We also have a pond and ducks often visit the home.

The focal point of the garden is a large summer house which is used as an Ice cream parlour in the summer and as Santa’s Grotto in the run-up to Christmas.

Our on-site activities co-ordinator develops a monthly programme with the needs and capabilities of the residents in mind, ensuring that there is always something exciting to do at Appleby. We also have a minibus to take our residents on outings in the local area.

Our philosophy is simple; we want everyone to enjoy life to the full. We never forget that all our residents are individuals and we treat them with dignity, privacy and respect while offering freedom of choice and as much independence as possible.

The team at Appleby are compassionate and caring and go beyond the call of duty with all residents.

I’d love to show you around the home. If you would like a tour or wish to discuss any aspect of elderly care with me, please telephone the home to make an appointment.

Tailored Care for the Gentlemen of North Shields

As well as delivering excellent residential, nursing and dementia care, Appleby is also home to a self-contained nursing environment specifically designed to support those who may benefit from living in a male-only setting. Meet our expert team and discover the difference Appleby has made to the lives of some of our gentlemen residents and their relatives.

Testimonials

Sharon B (Daughter of Resident)

I cannot praise the staff enough for the care my mam receives. My mam is always clean and tidy and is always happy in herself, this is down to the staff. If there is a problem I am kept informed.

Donna C (Relative of Resident)

My family member was in for 1 week and was well looked after, I had no problems with anything. The staff were great and so was the management. I could speak to them anytime day or night.

Andrew A (Son of Resident)

My father has been in the home for nearly a year now as we were struggling to manage at home. We cannot fault the home, they have done a wonderful job and our father is now smiling again and is happy. He loves the company and the food, he said it was the best hotel he has ever been in. I would like to give the staff, from the manager down to the cleaners, a big thank you for making us feel comfortable in the home when we visit and for putting the twinkle back in my father's eye. It's great to see him smiling again.
