South Chowdene Nursing Home in Chowdene, Gateshead

Located in Low Fell, a quiet residential area in Gateshead, South Chowdene care home is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. It provides 24-hours nursing care, in addition to personal support to frail older people, people with long-term illnesses, people with disabilities or sensory deficits and people who need support generally.

Care and support at our nursing home is delivered through personalised care planning, a process that begins with assessment, carried out before admission where possible, and completed with the individual concerned, together with relatives. More information is built up on admission and over time as we get to know the person and their family. The care plan covers areas like needs, risks, likes and dislikes, so it provides a basis for areas as diverse as deciding about activities programmes, looking at any rehabilitative medical needs and discussions with our chef about diet (who will make sure meal choices reflect individual tastes). Regular reviews with the person we support, relatives, our team and any relevant health professional are an important element of the system.

We are always happy to see visitors or to help callers with advice.

Julie Baron

General Manager

Hi, my name is Julie and I am the General Manager here at South Chowdene. I look forward to welcoming you to our home!

Thank you for taking the time to look further into what we have to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the home and have worked in the care industry for almost 20-years.   I began my career in the sector as a carer, quickly progressing to Senior Carer, then Deputy Manager and then as a care home, Home Manager. I have been a Home Manager for 15-years and caring is my passion.

I believe that everyone should be treated with the utmost dignity and respect and that we should always be striving to provide only the best possible care that we can on a daily basis, after all this is only what the residents deserve. I believe that we should treat everyone as we would like to be treated ourselves or as we would like a loved one to be treated.

I hope that my drive and passion to deliver only the highest standards of care is passed on through our care team. I look forward to welcoming you to our home.
