Questions about care in Gateshead
How many home care services are there in Gateshead?
There are 42 home care services in Gateshead registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the regulator of adult social care in England.
How are home care services in Gateshead rated?
33 of the 34 with an overall rating from CQC (97%) are rated Good or Outstanding. 8 have no overall rating shown, usually because CQC has not rated them yet or rates the parts of the service separately. CQC data as at 7 October 2026. In England, CQC gives each service an overall rating: Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate, and a rating for each of five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. We show each rating as CQC publishes it and never turn it into a score of our own.
How do I choose a home care service in Gateshead?
Start with the help the person needs now and might need later, and shortlist a few services near the people who will visit. Check each one’s latest CQC rating and how old it is, read its latest inspection report, and where you can, visit or meet the team more than once before you decide. Ask what is included in the fees and what happens if needs change. This is general information, not advice.
Who pays for care in Gateshead?
It depends on the person’s needs and finances. Some people pay for all of their own care, some get help from their council, and the NHS pays for some health care. The first step is to ask your local council for a free assessment of care needs: that is the council’s adult social care team. We do not show prices and this is general information, not advice.
How up to date is this information?
This page uses CQC data as at 7 October 2026. We check for new data from the regulator every day, and each service page shows the date of the data it uses.
Choosing home care
Home care (sometimes called domiciliary care) means carers who visit you at home to help with things like washing, dressing, meals and medicines. You stay in your own home.
Things to check
- Ask whether you will have the same carers each time, and what happens if one is off sick.
- Ask how visit times are agreed, and what happens if a carer is running late.
- Ask how long each visit lasts, and whether travel time is counted in it.
- Read the latest CQC report, and ask how the provider checks that visits happen.
Whoever ends up paying, you can ask your council’s adult social care team for a free assessment of what help you need. Our guide explains what to expect and what to ask.
