About Westerleigh
Westerleigh supports people who need help with everyday activities such as washing, dressing, eating and mobility. The home caters for dementia and complex support needs, with respite and longer stays available for adults and older people.
A care assessment can take place at home or in hospital before arrival. This lets the manager understand individual needs and prepare a care plan in advance. Trained carers support daily living while helping residents retain independence, and families can remain involved throughout the transition.

How much does Westerleigh cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Westerleigh 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.
