About The DurhamGate Care Home
The DurhamGate Care Home supports older people with residential and dementia care, alongside activities, outings and shared facilities that encourage everyday independence. Its registration evidence identifies the setting as a care home without nursing.
Daily life can include a walking group, cinema, library, social events and meals prepared in one of three restaurants. The wider care approach includes activities and trips designed around residents’ interests, while pre-admission assessments consider mobility, personal care, dietary requirements and other individual needs. Families should match the home’s registration and care scope to the person’s assessed requirements.

Questions families ask
How much does The DurhamGate Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The DurhamGate Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, County Durham council paid on average £1,094 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask The DurhamGate Care Home whether it takes residents funded by County Durham 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). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
