About Hylton Grange
Hylton Grange will provide a supportive environment. People will get the specialist nursing care they need, and be able to stay closer to their loved ones.
Hylton Grange will have 30 large bedrooms, each with an en-suite, across three units. With this small group living, we’ve found we’re able to provide a homely and supportive environment that’s more responsive to people’s needs.
The home will also have communal dining and living spaces, an activities hub, a sensory room and a large accessible garden.

Complex care at Hylton Grange
As a specialist care home, Hylton Grange will have the expertise to support adults whose placements have previously failed.
Across Exemplar Health Care, our high staffing levels allow us to build trust and work at the pace of the individual, which leads to improved person-centred and longer-term outcomes.
Many of the people we support are deemed to display behaviours that are ‘too complex’ for mainstream nursing and care providers.
Hylton Grange’s Nurse-led team will have the skills to support people who display extreme behaviours of concern, including aggressive and sexualized behaviours.
For many of our service users, we’re successful in achieving a significant reduction in behaviours of concern and use of observations within 12 weeks of stay.
“We're proud to bring this one-of-a-kind facility to Sunderland, to enable local people who are living with complex needs, to live close to home, regain their independence and everyday living skills, and move back into their homes in the community."
Charlotte Lloyd, Commissioning Director, Exemplar Health Care
