Questions families ask
Can they offer a trial stay before committing to the care home?
Yes. The first six weeks of residency can be used as a paid trial period, with no further obligation for either side.
Can family and friends be involved in the care plan?
Yes. With the resident’s permission, family members, relatives and friends can participate in the care planning process.
Can residents manage their own medicines?
Yes, when it is safe. Briardene can provide lockable facilities and support, or trained staff can store and administer medicines according to the prescription.
How much does Briardene Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Briardene Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Newcastle upon Tyne council paid on average £967 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.
