About Watergate House (office)
Watergate House provides care and support in people's own homes across Gateshead. We work with older adults, with younger adults, and with people living with dementia. Our purpose is straightforward: to make staying at home a realistic option when daily life has become hard to manage alone. The help covers washing and dressing, medication, meals and drinks, shopping, getting out to appointments, household tasks and company. What the visits actually look like depends entirely on the person, so we ask rather than assume. For people living with dementia we lean heavily on familiarity. The same carer, at a familiar time, in surroundings the person already understands, prevents more confusion and distress than anything else we could offer. Home has a real advantage here, because the rooms are already known and the habits are already in place, and our job is to support what exists rather than replace it. We also try to support families, because caring for a relative living with dementia is demanding work and it is often lonely. Plans are agreed with the person and revised when circumstances change. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to talk about support in Gateshead.
