Common Questions from Gateshead Families
How quickly can live-in care start?
Most families start within 7 days. In urgent cases (hospital discharge from Queen Elizabeth Hospital Gateshead and the Royal Victoria Infirmary), we’ve started care within 48 hours.
What happens when my carer needs a break?
Live-in carers work in rotations — typically 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.
How does the pricing work?
Weekly price covers carer time, training, supervision, monthly coordinator visits. Family provides accommodation and food. No agency fees.
Do you do trial periods?
Yes. Most families start with a 4-week placement. If it isn’t the right fit, we’ll match a different carer at no penalty.
Can we get help paying?
Possibly. Gateshead Council Direct Payments, NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance (£300–£480/month), and Section 117 funding can all contribute.
