About Holly Lodge Care Home
Holly Lodge Care Home offers residential and dementia care for older people in a purpose-built 41-bed facility in Shildon. The home also supports people who need respite care or emergency admissions, with different care types matched to individual needs.
Its approach centres on getting to know each resident’s routines, preferences and interests, while providing activities and support with daily living. Families can ask about a six-week paid trial period, allowing a prospective resident time to settle without further obligation by either side during that period. Rooms can be personalised with furniture and personal items, and staff can support practical matters such as letters, forms and shopping plans. Holly Lodge is a purpose-built 41-bed facility for residential and dementia care.

Questions families ask
Can someone trial living in the care home?

How much does Holly Lodge Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Holly Lodge Care Home 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.
