Welcome to Church View Care Home
Church Lane, Murton, Seaham SR7 9PG
Welcome to our care home in Murton, County Durham. Conveniently situated in the Murton area, our home is easily accessible from the surrounding County Durham community. Now part of the award-winning care home group Strong Life Care. Church View offers a warm, homely environment for older people who require support and care, including those living with dementia, those needing short-term stays and end-of-life support.
Under the Strong Life Care banner, our aim is to provide personalised, respectful care in a community-minded setting.
Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens and seating areas offer a peaceful setting for fresh air, gentle walks, or visits with loved ones. Every part of the home has been arranged with dementia-friendly design in mind, featuring clear signage, safe walkways, and warm, homely décor that promotes comfort and confidence.
We believe that the right environment plays a vital role in supporting well-being, independence, and peace of mind for everyone who lives with us.
Feel At Home
Life at Church View is designed to feel safe, comfortable, and truly home-like. Residents can relax in cosy lounges, take part in group activities, or enjoy peaceful moments in our landscaped gardens. With an on-site hair and beauty salon, dedicated activity spaces, and dementia-friendly design throughout, every detail of the home supports comfort, confidence, and independence. It’s a welcoming environment where well-being and a sense of belonging come naturally. Each resident at Church View has their own private bedroom, which they are encouraged to personalise with photos, ornaments and keepsakes. This helps create a familiar, comfortable space that feels truly like home.
Bedrooms are thoughtfully designed to balance comfort, safety and dignity. Whether the resident enjoys spending time with visitors, reading quietly or watching television, the room supports those needs.
