Questions families ask
Do they provide hairdressing and chiropody?
Yes. A hairdresser visits every fortnight for cutting, blow-drys, sets and perms. A chiropodist visits every six weeks, and residents can keep their private chiropodist.
Can someone try a short stay before moving in?
Yes. They can arrange a short stay based on room availability and the preferred length of stay. It is charged at the current care rate.
Can residents bring their own furniture?
Yes. They welcome residents bringing their own furniture and pictures to make their rooms familiar and comfortable.
Can family members bring dogs when visiting?
Yes. Family and friends may visit with their dogs, although visits with pets may need to be rescheduled if the animal creates a risk to residents' care or wellbeing.
How much does St Georges Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Georges Residential Home 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.
