What We Offer
Our Care Services in Gateshead
We provide a full range of home care services tailored to individual needs. Every care plan is built around you — your routines, your preferences, and your goals.
Home Care
Our domiciliary care service provides practical, friendly help with daily routines including personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts, and household tasks. Whether you need a morning visit or multiple daily calls, our Gateshead carers keep you safe and comfortable in your own home.
Live-In Care
For those who need continuous support, our live-in care service provides a dedicated carer who lives with you 24 hours a day. This is an ideal alternative to residential care, allowing you to stay in your own home in Gateshead while receiving round-the-clock assistance.
Dementia Care
Our specialist dementia care team in Gateshead is trained in person-centred approaches to support those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We focus on maintaining dignity, encouraging independence where possible, and creating a calm, familiar environment.
Complex Care
For clients with advanced health conditions — including neurological disorders, spinal injuries, ventilator dependency, or PEG feeding — our complex care team delivers clinical-grade support at home. All complex care staff hold specialist qualifications and work in partnership with your GP, district nurses, and consultants at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Respite Care
Family carers need breaks too. Our respite care service provides reliable short-term cover — from a single afternoon to several weeks — so you can rest, travel, or simply recharge, knowing your loved one is in safe hands.
Companionship Care
Loneliness affects thousands of older adults across North East. Our companionship service pairs clients with friendly, engaging carers for social visits, accompanied outings, hobby support, and meaningful conversation.
Supported Living
We support adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs to live independently in their own homes across Gateshead. Our supported living service focuses on building skills, confidence, and community connections.
