Hospital of God

Choosing care is life changing. It should be a change for the better, another stage in life to be embraced. Which is why we offer a different kind of care experience, one that focuses on person-centred care.

Situated just 4 miles outside of the town of Hartlepool, Stichell House is set in the small, picturesque village of Greatham. The village has local amenities including pubs and a shop, as well as bus links to Hartlepool. Many of the properties in the village are owned by the Hospital of God, including the farm and woodlands which adjoin the estate.

Our philosophy of care is based on putting the people we care for at the heart of everything we do. We believe that real care cannot be delivered until we completely understand you, the person being cared for. We focus on your history and strengths, your hopes, and ambitions. We respect your past, support your present, and help you plan for your future. Our approach is to ensure that your preferences, needs and values guide our decisions, and we will provide care to you that is respectful and responsive.

Moving into Stichell House does not mean that you need to give up your independence. We will work with you to define the level of care and help you need to take positive action to carry on your days as you wish. We will always focus on the things that really matter to you.

Everyone in Stichell House is part of a community where friendships and memories are made.
