Dementia Care is a registered charity and has provided services for people with dementia and their carers for over 20 years. We offer 24-hour care in people’s homes, respite care, dementia-designed specialist day services at our centres in Newcastle upon Tyne and Hexham and care in our independent supported living housing. As a care provider, we are regulated by the Care Quality Commission and are rated as Good overall and Outstanding for being a Well-Led Organisation.

We are growing rapidly and this will continue as we expand our services and support more people with dementia. We have vacancies for Care & Support Workers across all of our services.
