About Northbourne
Northbourne provides residential and dementia care for older people, with support for those who need a permanent home or a short break. It is registered as a care home without nursing and offers care for dementia and older people.
Families can make an enquiry, arrange an in-person or virtual tour, and discuss care needs through a pre-assessment before moving in. The home can also explain daily life, including menus and activities, while its team supports regular visits from family and friends. Respite care and short breaks are available alongside longer-term residential care.

Questions families ask
Can they provide a virtual care home viewing?
Yes. Anchor can provide a virtual show round when someone cannot visit the home in person.
Is a care assessment arranged before moving into Northbourne?
Yes. Anchor organises a pre-assessment after the visit to check whether the home can meet the person’s care needs.
How much does Northbourne cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Northbourne for its weekly fee. As a guide, Gateshead council paid on average £996 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.
