Care home fees in Newcastle Upon Tyne depend on the type of care and how the place is funded. As a guide, self-funded residential care in North East England typically runs to several hundred pounds a week, with nursing and specialist dementia care costing more. If the person needing care has limited savings, the local authority in Tyne and Wear may contribute, and the NHS funds the healthcare element of nursing care through NHS-funded nursing care or, for the highest needs, NHS Continuing Healthcare.
