About Divine Care Centre
Divine Care Centre combines nursing and residential care for older people and adults with physical disabilities, sensory impairment or other support needs. The 43-bed home assigns each resident a qualified registered nurse or key worker to help shape care around dignity, privacy, independence and daily life.
Rooms can be tailored to individual preferences, with en-suite or wet-room options and nurse call systems available. The centre also provides wheelchair and lift access, gardens, a café and an activities room, alongside dementia and nursing care. Before admission, families can visit, have refreshments and meet the staff, making a pre-admission visit a practical way to understand the setting and its facilities.

What equipment is available for residents with mobility problems?

How much does Divine Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Divine Care Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, County Durham council paid on average £697 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
