Questions families ask
How can Garden Lodge care be paid for?
Depending on individual circumstances, residents may be entitled to funded care. The Home Manager can also discuss fees with people who fund their own care.
Can residents keep their own GP at Garden Lodge?
Yes, if the resident’s doctor is willing to visit the home, Garden Lodge will arrange this.
Can Garden Lodge provide special diets?

Does Garden Lodge offer respite care?
Yes. Respite care is available at Garden Lodge and across the group’s homes.
Is an assessment needed before moving into Garden Lodge?
Yes. Anyone considering a move into the home needs an assessment so the care team can confirm that individual needs can be met.
How much does Garden Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Garden 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.
