About Us

Westoe Grange Care Home provides residential care in South Shields for older people, including people living with dementia, and we also take planned respite stays.

Most of what makes a care home a good place to live is undramatic. Getting up when you choose, food you actually want to eat, a familiar face on shift, and somebody noticing when you are quieter than usual. That is where we put our effort. Residents decide how their own days run, keep their own belongings around them and see visitors whenever it suits them.

For residents living with dementia, familiarity and an unhurried approach prevent far more distress than they ever cost, so we keep the shape of the day recognisable, we send the same faces wherever we can, and we give people time to do things at the pace they can manage. We work with what somebody can still do rather than treating a diagnosis as the whole story, and we pay attention to the signs that tell us somebody is uncomfortable or in pain when they can no longer say so directly.

Respite stays give family carers a proper rest and let people try us out without any longer commitment.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We ask residents and relatives regularly how we are doing, and the uncomfortable answers are the useful ones.
