About Princes Court
Princes Court provides residential and nursing care for people living with dementia, physical disabilities and other registered support needs in North Shields. The home is part of Akari Care, whose approach centres on personalised care, individual choice and a family-inclusive environment. A home manager assesses each prospective resident’s needs, including visits at home or in hospital when required, before preparing for admission.
The care model covers everyday assistance with washing, dressing, eating and mobility, while nursing provision supports residents with higher clinical needs. Families can work with the home to prepare a care plan before moving in, helping the team understand routines and requirements. The assessment and planning process begins before admission.

Questions families ask
How much does Princes Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Princes Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Tyneside council paid on average £934 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 Princes Court whether it takes residents funded by North Tyneside 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.
