About St Mary's Convent
St Mary’s Convent is a residential care home where the care team and Sisters provide support for older residents. The home is registered to accommodate elderly people, and staff are trained in dementia care, giving families a clear setting for residential support where dementia-related needs may be part of the care plan.
The home forms part of a convent belonging to the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Good and Perpetual Succour. Its grounds have views over the Derwent Valley on the edge of Ebchester, with onsite car parking and a regular public bus service stopping in the village. All religions, cultures and genders are welcomed.

How much does St Mary's Convent cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Mary's Convent 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.
