About Alexandra House
Residential care at Alexandra House supports older people and adults with dementia, learning disabilities, mental health needs or physical disabilities. The home provides personalised support with everyday activities such as washing, dressing, eating and mobility, while encouraging individual choice and independence.
Before admission, a Home Manager can visit someone at home or in hospital to understand their needs and prepare a care plan. The assessment helps the team organise support around the individual and check that the home can meet the person’s requirements. Residents can then continue activities they enjoy with care shaped around their circumstances.

Questions families ask
How does Akari assess whether it can care for someone?
The Home Manager can visit at home or in hospital to understand the person’s care needs, prepare the new home and begin the care plan before arrival.
Which healthcare professionals support residents?
Their extended team includes trusted GPs, dentists, chiropodists and dietitians who work to improve residents’ quality of life.
How much does Alexandra House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Alexandra House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Gateshead council paid on average £996 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
