About Chilton Care Centre
Chilton Care Centre supports older people and people living with dementia through permanent residential care, respite and day-care services. The home is registered without nursing and shapes support around changing needs.
Admissions begin with a conversation with the home manager, followed by an assessment of the care required and discussion of funding. Residents can join activities, outings and community events, while protected mealtimes support nutrition and an undisturbed dining routine. The home also caters for dietary, medical, religious and cultural needs, with menus offering choices from hot meals to lighter options.

Questions families ask
Can I visit the care home at weekends?
Yes. Visits can usually be arranged seven days a week, although they try to schedule them around mealtimes. Video viewings may be available when in-person appointments are restricted.
Can I choose the care home if I receive financial assistance?
Yes. People receiving financial assistance can still choose their care home. A small third-party top-up may sometimes apply, and the home manager can explain the funding process.
Can staff take residents to hospital appointments?
Yes. Staff can accompany residents to hospital appointments when their family cannot do so.
Do they cater for medical and religious special diets?
Yes. They offer a choice of home-cooked meals and can cater for medical and religious needs, including low-sugar, vegetarian and cultural preferences.
How much does Chilton Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Chilton Care Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, County Durham council paid on average £1,094 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
