Questions families ask
How much does Orchard Mews cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Orchard Mews for its weekly fee. As a guide, Newcastle upon Tyne council paid on average £967 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 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 Orchard Mews whether it takes residents funded by Newcastle upon Tyne 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). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
