A warm welcome to Howdon Care Centre in Wallsend, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

You’ll find Howdon Care Centre is a purpose-built facility, pleasantly situated in the residential area of Wallsend. We are close to shops with great transport links, making us easily accessible for visitors to pop-in for a chat.

One of the leading care homes in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, our care team offers residential care for those who need help with daily tasks, and nursing care for people who have complex medical needs. We also provide residential dementia care for residents who require it.

We run a busy activities programme, including day trips out, and regular visits from the local churches, schools and nurseries, who always puts a smile on our residents’ faces. Our home also has two resident cats, which our residents absolutely adore.

Integrated Care Service at Howdon Care Home

Here at Howdon Care Home we work together with North Tyneside NHS to provide Integrated Care Services to patients who have had a serious accident or illness but no longer require hospital treatment.  

The unit provides 24 hour qualified nursing and specialist therapy in a safe and relaxed environment for patients who have had a serious accident or illness, but no longer require hospital treatment. Specialist staff from both organisations work with patients and their families and / or carers to design a package of support tailored to individual needs and requirements.  These include GPs, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and social workers. Patients are referred to the units by the trust’s Home Safe and Care Point teams based in our hospitals.

In the films below, patients share how our unit is giving them increased confidence to settle back at home and help to prevent further hospital admissions.
