Dementia Care in Newcastle upon Tyne
Tier-3 dementia training across the Gateshead team
Dementia changes how someone experiences their home, their family, time itself. Our Newcastle upon Tyne dementia carers are trained in person-centred dementia care — gentle redirection, validation therapy, sundowning support, and creating the calm routines that ease symptoms.

Common questions from Newcastle upon Tyne families
Can you handle the wandering?
Yes. Our risk assessment covers door alarms, GPS trackers if appropriate, and gentle redirection techniques. We do not use restraint.
My parent forgets the carer is coming — will they let them in?
We agree a routine entry process at the start. Some families use a key safe; others have the carer phone first. The dementia-trained team is good at the gentle approach to first introductions.
Will it be the same carer each visit?
Wherever possible, yes. Continuity is critical with dementia. We rotate two trained carers as primary so there is always familiarity, even when one is on holiday.
What if behaviour gets worse and we need night support?
We add waking-night care without changing day carer. Many of our Newcastle upon Tyne dementia clients start with day support and add nights as the condition progresses.
