Craigielea in its present form was established in 1982 to look after the needs of older people from the local area. The premises for the Home were given to the Gateshead Dispensary Trust by their former owner, who had been running a convalescent and maternity home for many years. This history of caring for the people of Gateshead dates back to 1832 when the Gateshead Dispensary Trust was set up in the days when we had no NHS.
The modern day Craigielea looks after 60 older people who need the extra care and security of trained staff in surroundings which are homely and comfortable.
All services at Craigielea are run on a not-for-profit basis, and fees are set at the rate which is available from the Local Authority for those residents who are eligible, and at the same rate for people who are self funding and pay their own fees. We do not charge any extras, or “top up” fees.
