We support selected communities across Northumberland, including Ashington, Blyth and Cramlington. We do not cover the whole county, so please contact our team to check whether we currently reach your postcode.
Local care in selected Northumberland communities
Northumberland is a large county, so our service is focused on selected communities where we can provide reliable, well-planned care. These include Ashington, Blyth and Cramlington, as well as some nearby areas depending on current availability.
Our local office is based at Royal Quays in North Shields. If you live outside the locations shown on this page, contact our team with your postcode and we will be happy to confirm whether we can currently support you.
Life in these communities
Ashington, Blyth and Cramlington each have their own local routines, shops, green spaces, community groups and places people know well. Staying connected to those familiar parts of everyday life can be just as important as support at home.
Carers can provide company and practical help so those routines carry on, including trips to the shops, appointments and local groups, as well as time spent at home.
- Company for visits to local shops and cafés
- Support getting to appointments
- Walks along the coast and in local parks
- Help attending community activities and groups
- Keeping up with hobbies and weekly routines

Common questions
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
No. We support selected communities only, including Ashington, Blyth and Cramlington. We do not provide care across the whole county, and we will always tell you honestly if an address is outside the area we can reach.
Do you provide home care in Ashington, Blyth and Cramlington?
Yes, we provide home care in Ashington, Blyth and Cramlington, subject to care assessment, current capacity and the person's location. Contact our local team and we will confirm whether we can currently support you.
What if I live in a nearby village?
Contact us with your postcode. Some neighbouring addresses can be supported and others are outside the area we can reach reliably, and we will give you a straight answer either way.
Can carers support someone to go out in the community?
Yes. Where it is safe and agreed as part of the care plan, carers can provide company and practical help for shopping, appointments, local groups or a walk somewhere familiar.
