About
Crosshill Nursing Home is a purpose-built care home in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, with 30 registered beds. It opened in February 1992 as a nursing home and later began accepting people who need residential care, so residents whose needs change can often stay in the same room. Qualified nurses are on duty around the clock, and the home supports adults with residential, nursing and continuing healthcare needs, including physical disabilities.
Facilities include two lounges with flat-screen TVs and music. Activity staff run sessions on weekdays, from hair and nail treatments to card games and exercise classes. Free WiFi is available, and the home recycles more than half of its waste. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2019 report, with Good ratings for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
