About Wallace House
Wallace House provides residential and nursing care for older people and adults with dementia, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. Its care includes support with daily activities and nursing input for physical and long-term conditions, rehabilitation and disabilities.
The home works with GPs, dentists, chiropodists and dietitians, while the Home Manager assesses needs before admission and prepares the care plan and environment. Families can discuss whether the setting can meet a person’s needs before moving in. A care home with nursing provides residential support alongside access to wider health professionals.

Questions families ask
How do they assess whether they can care for someone?
The Home Manager can visit the person at home or in hospital to understand their care needs, prepare the home for their arrival and begin preparing a care plan.
What activities do they offer residents?
They have an Activities Team that arranges a wide choice of activities to help residents stay active mentally and physically.
How much does Wallace House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Wallace House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Gateshead council paid on average £1,060 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.
