Our
Homes

Leading the way for residential care homes for disabled people across the North East.

Here at Percy Hedley, we have four specialist residential care homes throughout Newcastle upon Tyne in Jesmond, Killingworth, and Forest Hall, and have been specialists in the field since the 1960’s when our first residential building, Chipchase House, was opened.

Over the years we’ve expanded to open Leybourne House, Wansbeck House and Tyne House – who offer care for different age groups, medical conditions, and disabilities through the highest standard of person-centred care within a safe, homely environment.

It's about community

These spaces aren’t just a care provision, this is the residents’ home, and we treat it as such. As for the team of carers, support workers and other professionals, it’s not just a job, we’re genuinely passionate about caring for our people and helping them live their best lives. Each residential home builds it’s own community where we have birthday parties, Christmas meals, days out to the beach… we really do foster a culture that makes residents feel like they’re with their extended family.
