Brief description

South Quay is a purpose built two-storey building of traditional brick built and tiled roof construction. It is situated on a large corner site on the outskirts of Blyth. The home is within walking distance of the shopping area of the town and the local amenities situated in that area.

It is on the main bus route. The surrounding area is mainly domestic housing with some commercial properties. The home has two distinct units, the new unit is the Spinal and neuro-disability Rehabilitation suite and the existing one, the Chipchase Unit one that is registered to provide places for older people.

Both areas provide nursing care to the people living in the home. All residents are accommodated in single rooms. The home provides information about the service through the service user guide.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
