About Crofton Court
Crofton Court centres its care around older people and those living with dementia, with support shaped around each resident’s needs. The registered scope also includes younger adults, while the care information covers help with eating, washing, dressing and getting around.
Before a move, the Home Manager can visit someone at home or in hospital to understand their needs and prepare a care plan. Residents can take part in activities, and families are welcomed to visit. A home or hospital assessment before admission gives relatives an opportunity to discuss support requirements and the suitability of the home.

Questions families ask
How much does Crofton Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Crofton Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Northumberland council paid on average £890 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 Crofton Court whether it takes residents funded by Northumberland 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.
