About Byker Lodge
Older people living with dementia and younger adults fall within Byker Lodge’s registered care scope. The home offers residential support for people who need help with daily life, reassurance and structured care, including those staying after hospital treatment or during changing circumstances.
Family involvement can form part of the transition into care, while support is intended to develop as residents’ needs change. The clearest profile is a residential home for older people and younger adults needing regulated support, with dementia care included in its registered provision. The evidence does not establish a more detailed branch-specific service offer.

Questions families ask
How much does Byker Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Byker Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Newcastle upon Tyne council paid on average £911 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Byker Lodge whether it takes residents funded by Newcastle upon Tyne 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). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
