About Grangewood Care Centre
Grangewood Care Centre provides residential, dementia, respite and end-of-life care for older people. The home also offers a day club, giving people access to care, activities and social contact without moving into full-time residence.
Facilities include a garden, hair and beauty salon, reminiscence room and church services, while daily activities and outings support varied routines. Grangewood is designed for both ongoing care and shorter stays, with support shaped around mobility, personal care, dietary requirements and changing needs. Families considering a move can arrange a viewing and discuss care needs with the home’s support team.

How much does Grangewood Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Grangewood Care Centre 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.
