About Leybourne
At Leybourne, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne, North Tyneside. We support people with a range of needs, including learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or a temporary place to stay while their usual arrangements are reviewed. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or their family will ever make, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. From the moment someone gets in touch with us, we try to make the process feel straightforward and human. We take time to understand what matters most to each person, because good care really does start with listening. Life at Leybourne is built around the individual. We work closely with residents, their families, and any professionals involved in their care to make sure support plans genuinely reflect how someone wants to live their life. Whether that means maintaining independence, staying connected to the community, or simply feeling safe and settled at home, we work hard to make that possible. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in a rating of good across the board. That reflects the effort our whole team puts in every day, and it gives families some reassurance when they are considering us as an option. Our home is part of the local community in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and that matters to us. We want residents to feel rooted somewhere, not just cared for.
