About
Kenton Manor is a care home in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, offering residential, nursing, dementia, and respite care, with 68 registered beds. The home supports residents with dementia and also provides palliative and end-of-life care, with staff available around the clock. Its stated approach centres on each resident's physical and mental wellbeing, and on keeping their identity, rights and independence intact. Care is personalised after an assessment, and families are involved at each stage. Trial stays are offered for families who want to see whether the home suits them.
The home has grounds for residents to relax in, and activities are planned around individual needs. The Care Quality Commission rated Kenton Manor Good overall in its 2025 report, and graded each of the five key questions (safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led) as Good.
