Brief description

Pretoria Court Complex is a large, partly purpose built establishment, located in a rural setting with spectacular views from many rooms overlooking the Derwent Valley. It is provided by the Four Seasons Health Care group. The care home complex provides accommodation for people with nursing or personal care needs.

It is staffed with registered nurses and care staff, who are supported by a team of ancillary staff, including cooks, domestics and handyman. The home is divided into separate units to enable people with different care requirements to be catered for. Edmundbyers House (37 beds) is registered for older persons.

Stanhope Suite (24 beds) is for younger adults with physical disabilities (18-65 years). The current registration for Blanchland House (30 beds) is for older persons, but it has been unoccupied for some time. All bedrooms are single rooms and there is a good range of sitting and dining areas for communal use.

Most bedrooms are supplied with en suite toilet and wash hand basin. There are pleasant garden and patio areas around the home and ample parking space for visitors. The Registered Manager for the whole complex is Mrs Christine Munro Marr.

A deputy site manager supports her in her duties.
