About Hadrian House

Hadrian House is a residential care home in Blaydon on Tyne. We support older people and younger adults who need help with daily living, including people living with dementia or a mental health condition and people with a physical disability. We also take respite bookings. Because people arrive here by different routes, we do not run the home to a single pattern. Some residents need a good deal of hands on support through the day. Others mainly want a settled base, a bit of structure and somebody reliable to check in with. We work out which is which by asking, and we keep asking, because what somebody needs on arrival is rarely what they need a year later. People keep their own belongings around them, choose how the day goes and are not hurried through the parts that take longer than they once did. Families are welcome throughout the day and we would rather they came often and informally than waited for an invitation. Supporting somebody living with dementia takes patience and attention to detail, so our staff learn the particulars that help each person feel secure. The Care Quality Commission has not yet published an overall rating for us. We are glad to talk through how we staff the home, how we train people and how we handle concerns. If you are considering residential or respite care in this area, please arrange to come and see us.
