Only 6 extra care housing in Gateshead currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, so this list is shorter than ten. We would rather show a short honest list than pad it out.
Showing 6 of 6 extra care housing in Gateshead that currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, out of 7 registered in total. Services with no published rating are excluded: newly registered services often have none, and no rating is not a poor rating.
Based on Care Quality Commission data published 01 July 2026, used under the Open Government Licence. No provider has paid for a position on this page, and none can.
Extra care housing, sometimes called assisted living or housing with care, gives you your own self-contained home within a scheme where care staff are on site around the clock.
It fills the gap between managing at home with visiting carers and moving into a care home.
People who want to keep their independence and their own front door, but who need care available quickly and reliably. It works particularly well for couples with different levels of need, who can stay together rather than one moving into a care home.
Housing costs and care costs are separate, as in supported living.
Housing: rent and service charges, potentially met through Housing Benefit or the housing element of Universal Credit. If you buy, you pay a service charge.
Care: assessed and charged through the council means test, or paid privately.
7 CQC-registered extra care housing have a registered office in Gateshead, North East. Of those, 6 currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, which is the pool this ranking is drawn from.
That depends on your finances, not your postcode. Above £23,250 in capital you normally pay the full cost. Below £14,250 your capital is ignored. Your council carries out the financial assessment, and NHS Continuing Healthcare pays in full where needs are primarily health needs. 2026/27 thresholds for England.
It means it was rated Good at the last inspection, and the gap between inspections can run to years. Use the rating as a starting point, read the full report, and visit in person before deciding.
Self-contained flats or bungalows, usually in a scheme with communal facilities, where care staff are on site around the clock. You have your own front door and tenancy or ownership, with care arranged separately according to your assessed needs.
Sheltered housing typically has a scheme manager and an alarm system but no on-site care team. Extra care housing has care staff on site 24 hours a day, so it supports higher and changing needs.
Carevo does not inspect or endorse services. CQC ratings change between inspections. Check the current rating on the CQC website and read the full report before deciding.
