Thomas Knight Care Home is a modern, rebuilt facility in a historic location in the heart of Blyth. Thomas Knight Care Home is a residential and nursing home in the area of Blyth, which can accommodate just under 55 residents.
Bedrooms are sizes and designs that exceed minimum standard requirements, and all are en-suite. There are multiple communal lounges, dining areas, bathrooms, showers, wet rooms, and toilet facilities across each of the three floors.
Nursing or personal care is delivered across three dedicated floors. The top floor which is called Auguste Community is mostly for persons living with a dementia or related syndrome. The ground floor Harmony Meadows is specialised general nursing provision.
The remainder of the service is on the middle floor. Trinity Retreat provides accommodation and care for a mixture of personal care needs for those with a dementia and those with no cognitive challenges but a degree of frailty.
The Registered Manager and his close management team oversee the entire service. All staff will have received the appropriate induction and ongoing training for the aspects of care they deliver. Each floor has a dedicated team with named leaders and a selection of champions (staff who receive extra training and have a degree of responsibility for certain care topics i.e. medicines, wound care, nutrition etc).
There are fully stocked, working kitchenettes on the first and 2nd floor and the service provides a snoezelen room on the middle floor and has recently added a ‘cafe’ to the top floor.
With an enclosed safe garden and local shops right on the door step this is the perfect setting for a modern, well presented care facility. It is fully staffed with nurses and carers and has a very high staff to resident ratio.
