About Briarwood
Briarwood offers flexible respite care packages for people living with dementia, giving the person who normally provides care time to rest while their loved one remains supported. The service is part of Everyturn’s wider nursing, dementia and mental health provision.
Its respite focus is practical and specific, helping families manage the demands of 24-hour dementia care without presenting the stay as a permanent move. Everyturn also provides supported housing, community wellbeing support and specialist nursing elsewhere in its service network. Flexible packages of respite care are the clearest reason to consider Briarwood when a carer needs a temporary break.

Questions families ask
Does Briarwood offer respite care for people with complex dementia needs?
Yes. Briarwood provides respite care for people whose dementia means they have complex needs, with support available for regular weekly periods or longer stays.
Can Briarwood provide dementia respite care while family carers take a holiday?
Yes. Briarwood can provide longer respite stays when families need a break, including holidays lasting a week or two.
How much does Briarwood cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Briarwood for its weekly fee. As a guide, Gateshead council paid on average £1,060 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.
