About Glenholme Residential Care Home
Glenholme Residential Care Home provides residential, dementia, respite and short- or long-term care for older people. The home sits close to Sunderland’s coast, with landscaped gardens and views that give residents space to stroll, sit outdoors or enjoy the sea air.
Residents can take part in activities and outings, while the home offers on-site hairdressing every fortnight and a visiting chiropodist every six weeks. Families can also bring dogs when appropriate, although visits with pets may need to be rescheduled if they create a risk to residents’ wellbeing.

Questions families ask
Do they provide hairdressing and chiropody?
Yes. An on-site hairdresser visits every fortnight and provides cutting, blow-drying, sets and perms for ladies and gentlemen. Chiropody is arranged every six weeks, or residents can keep their private chiropodist.
Can they 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 prospective residents to experience life in the home.
Can residents bring their own furniture into the care home?
Yes. Glenholme House welcomes residents bringing their own furniture and pictures to make their rooms feel familiar and comfortable.
Can visitors bring dogs into the care home?
Yes. Family and friends can visit with their dogs, although visits may need to be rescheduled if a pet creates a risk to residents’ care or wellbeing.
How much does Glenholme Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Glenholme Residential Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sunderland council paid on average £931 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.
