Questions families ask
Do they provide hairdressing and chiropody on site?
Yes. A hairdresser visits every fortnight and provides cutting, blow-dry, sets and perms for women and men. A chiropodist visits every six weeks, or residents can keep their private chiropodist.
Can someone try a short stay before moving into the care home?
Yes. They can arrange a short stay based on room availability and the preferred length of stay. It is charged at the current care rate and allows someone to experience life in the home before deciding.
Are care home rooms priced individually?
Yes. Each room is individually priced according to its size, view and whether it has en-suite facilities.
Can residents bring their own furniture into the care home?
Yes. They welcome residents bringing furniture and pictures to make their rooms feel familiar and comfortable.
Can residents choose meals for their dietary needs?
Yes. Each resident has an individual care plan covering food choices and dietary needs, with several options available at each mealtime.
How much does Craghall Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Craghall Residential Home 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.
