Care Homes for Older People in Northumberland

Care Homes for Older People in Northumberland – list as at 19 February 2016

This list shows registered care homes for older people in Northumberland. Further information can be found on the Care Quality Commission website (www.tinyurl.com/OPhomes). Homes marked as “not contracted” do not currently have a contract with us; if we will be paying your fees, you will probably not be able to choose one of these homes unless someone else is willing to help you pay the extra cost. Check with your care manager if you are interested in one of these homes.
We visit care homes each year to check how well they meet our quality standards. Homes shown in the list as Band 1 met our standards very well when we visited in 2014; homes in Band 4 met the standards least well. / However all homes on this list that are currently taking new residents provide at least an acceptable quality of service, and you may wish to choose a home which scored less well in our assessment, for instance because of its location. Occasionally, a home has temporary problems which mean that it cannot guarantee to provide a good service to new residents – we indicate this on the list as “currently not taking new residents” where it applies. Since our visit, homes may have corrected problems which we found last year – we recommend treating the bandings as a guide.
We pay higher fees for higher quality – so if you will be paying us the full cost of your place, Band 1 homes will cost you most, and Band 4 homes least (though bandings may change from year to year).
