About Sovereign Lodge Care Home
Sovereign Lodge provides residential and dementia care for older people in a 48-bed home in Westerhope, around five miles from Newcastle city centre. The service offers tailored support with different levels of care, including residential care, dementia care and emergency admissions.
Residents can personalise their rooms with furniture and personal items, while staff involve families and friends in care planning where permission is given. The home also offers a paid six-week trial period, giving prospective residents time to settle before committing further. Staff are available around the clock, and the service can administer medicines or support safe self-management according to the agreed care plan.

Questions families ask
Can someone trial living at Sovereign Lodge before committing?
Yes. The first six weeks of residency are a paid trial period, with no further obligation for either side.
Can family and friends be involved in a resident's care plan?
Yes. With the resident's permission, family members, relatives and friends can participate in the care-planning process.
Can residents manage their own medicines at Sovereign Lodge?
Yes, if it is safe to do so. They provide lockable facilities and support, or trained staff can store and administer medicines according to the prescription.
What activities does Sovereign Lodge organise for residents?
Lifestyle support staff organise entertainment and activities inside and outside the home, including film shows, sing-songs and other pastimes.
How much does Sovereign Lodge Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Sovereign Lodge Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Newcastle upon Tyne council paid on average £911 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.
