Local care across South Tyneside
Walfinch Newcastle provides personalised home care, companionship and practical support across South Tyneside. Our local office is based at Royal Quays in North Shields, close to South Shields and the communities we support south of the Tyne.
South Tyneside communities are close knit, and many people have lived in the same streets for decades. Care here is about fitting in with a life already in place rather than changing it.
Keeping hold of familiar places
Whether it is the seafront at South Shields, a walk through Bents Park, the market on a busy morning or a regular cup of tea somewhere in Jarrow or Hebburn, the places people go are part of who they are.
Carers can provide company and practical support so those outings carry on safely, from a short trip to the shops to getting to an appointment at the local health centre.
- Company for visits to local shops and cafés
- Support getting to appointments
- Walks along the seafront and in local parks
- Help attending community activities and groups
- Keeping up with hobbies and weekly routines
