Enjoying Life at Our Sunderland Care Home

Being such a short distance from the beach, you’ll often find staff and residents heading there in our minibus for a bracing stroll.

Life within our residential care home in Sunderland is always stimulating and varied. Our energetic Activity Co-ordinators organise many events. So, whatever our resident’s interests, there’s always something to get involved in.

Besides being at the beach, you might find us:

Delicious Dining at Highcliffe Care Home

Fish and chips are an old favourite – especially when you’re by the seaside! Naturally, they might turn up on our menu on a Friday.  Our chef and his team make sure it tastes great – with fresh fish and homemade batter.

There’s an emphasis on freshly cooked, healthily balanced meals, made with locally sourced produce where possible. We’re good at catering for poor appetites and know how to make food look great.

Between meals, we’re spoiled too – with home-baked cakes and pastries and fresh fruit. Our residents’ guests are always welcome to dine with us at any time. We love to make mealtimes a sociable occasion. Come and join us!
