The house also provides a secluded paved garden area with attractive pots and comfortable chairs to sit outside in warmer weather.
The staff at Abbeyfield House, Barnard Castle are all experienced, extremely dedicated and caring and we have a very low turnover of staff. Our fantastic staff treat residents like family members due to the fact we only have 10 flats/rooms and this helps to create a warm and family atmosphere and the ability to know our residents and their families particularly well. Staff visit each resident every morning and again in the afternoon to check to see if they need anything or want to chat. Every resident also has their laundry washed and ironed regularly by us and resident's rooms are deep cleaned by our housekeeping assistants.
