We offer a range of quality care in a lovely care home full of style and character.

Here at Ventress Hall care home, our dedicated and highly experienced team provides nursing care, residential care, respite care and day care for older people, including those with physical disabilities. We also provide sensitive and compassionate end of life care (we're working towards certification under the respected Gold Standards Framework).


We have the flexibility to provide short term, respite care for people who may have had a stay in hospital and need a little extra help and support while they recover. Older people who still live in their own home, or are looked after by family carers, and who like having some extra support or social interaction during the day, are also welcome to join us as often as they like.


A lovely setting: we're located on Trinity Road, a leafy, sought-after residential area close to the centre of Darlington. Inside, the care home is full of character - blending modern and period features - while providing the comfortable accommodation and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
