About Cranlea
Cranlea provides residential and dementia care for older people, with respite and short-break options for those needing temporary support. The home helps residents settle through visits, pre-assessments and planned moving-in conversations, while families can remain involved throughout the process.
Residents can take part in activities, enjoy shared meals and maintain links with family and the local area. Anchor also offers virtual show rounds for people unable to visit in person, followed by an assessment of care needs before admission. Cranlea’s private weekly fee starts from £1,200, while funding depends on the resident’s financial circumstances and assessment. Virtual show rounds are available when an in-person visit is difficult.

Questions families ask
Can I view Cranlea care home virtually?
Yes. Cranlea can provide a virtual show round for people who cannot visit in person, as well as arranging an in-person visit for permanent stays or short breaks.
Is there a care assessment before moving into Cranlea?
Yes. A pre-assessment is arranged after the visit to establish whether the home can meet the person’s care needs. An existing local-authority assessment and care plan can help guide the discussion.
How much does Cranlea cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Cranlea 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.
