Carehome.co.uk Awards 2023

Willowdene top 20 award

We are pleased to announce that Willowdene Care Home has been named one of the top 20 Care Homes in the North East of England at the Carehome.co.uk awards! This is a phenomenal achievement, and we are so proud of their hard work and dedication. ✨

Bev Jewitt, Regional Director said:



"Willowdene is a lovely home, and the team are completely dedicated to ensuring that everyone who lives there gets the best possible care. This award is a true reflection of their commitment and the positive feedback Willowdene receives from the people who live with us and their family and friends. I am delighted that they are receiving recognition of their hard work."

The 48-bedded, purpose-built care home, which specialises in offering a number of care types including dementia, palliative, respite and residential care, was highly commended for their excellent service and the warm experience offered to those living with them. 

The Carehome.co.uk award winners were selected based on reviews given by family members of those living in the home, and Willowdene Care Home has been named as one of the Top 20 Care Homes in North East England. Comments from those with loved ones in the home have said that the care they’ve witnessed is “professional” and “supportive”. 

Ruth Sunter, Care Home Registered Manager, said: 

“We are so excited to be recognised in these regional prestigious awards. We pride ourselves on the care we offer here at Willowdene, and so these reviews, filled with so many compliments for our teams and the environment we provide, truly warm our hearts. A special thank you is in order for our amazing teams who continue to ensure that everyone feels relaxed and comfortable at our home whilst staying with us. To know that we have received such high praise from those who matter most to us - those living here and their loved ones - is the biggest compliment of all.” 

The Sedgefield-based care home also received the top score of 10/10 for their care offering, with each of their reviews commending the home for their staff’s professionalism and “friendly, caring attitudes.” Another relative commented saying “Mum will be returning to Willowdene, and I feel confident in her being there as I know they will meet her needs in every way possible.”

The Carehome.co.uk award winners are selected by calculating all the current review scores of each home listed on their site. These reviews provide insight into all aspects of life and care provided by the home, including the activities and menu options available. 

Congratulations Willowdene!
