About Welcome Care and Support
We provide care at home in Blaydon and across Gateshead, supporting older adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss and younger adults. Being a local team is the practical heart of this. We know the streets and how long a journey really takes, which means we can build a round that works on an ordinary Tuesday rather than one that only holds together in theory. Arriving when we said we would is not a small courtesy when somebody is waiting to be helped out of bed. We aim our help at what has genuinely become hard and leave alone what somebody would rather keep doing themselves, because kindness is how independence usually gets eroded, one helpful act at a time. With dementia, consistency does most of the work: the same carer at the same time, in the same order, in a home where nothing has been rearranged. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We ask the people we visit what they think of us and act on the critical answers rather than the polite ones.
