About Abigail Lodge
Abigail Lodge provides nursing and residential care for older people, including residents living with dementia or physical disabilities. Its CQC registration as a care home with nursing means the service is set up for people whose needs require more than accommodation and everyday assistance.
The home’s care offer sits within Harbour Healthcare’s residential, dementia and nursing services. Families can therefore consider it for longer-term care where nursing support forms part of the assessment, rather than a purely independent retirement setting. Activities and resident enrichment are also identified within the provider’s service structure, supporting day-to-day life alongside personal care. Abigail Lodge is registered as a care home with nursing for older adults with varied support needs.

Questions families ask
How much does Abigail Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Abigail Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, County Durham council paid on average £697 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Abigail Lodge whether it takes residents funded by County Durham council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
