About Comfort House
For people considering residential support, Comfort House covers care for dementia, older people, learning disabilities and younger adults. A home assessment gathers information about individual needs, allowing the manager to prepare a care plan before arrival.
Daily support includes help with washing, dressing, eating and mobility, while residents are encouraged to retain independence and make personal choices. The home forms part of Akari Care’s residential care group, with an approach that brings residents and families together in an extended community. A care plan before arrival helps establish the support required before a move takes place.

Questions families ask
How much does Comfort House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Comfort House 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 Comfort House 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.
