About
Lowgate Care Home is a purpose-built home in the countryside about two miles outside the historic Northumbrian town of Hexham. It has 42 registered beds and gardens for residents to enjoy. The home provides residential, nursing, dementia and respite care, and it is run by Roseberry Care Centres.
Activities staff spend time learning each resident's interests, hobbies and routines, so days can range from trips to the shops to live music, or quieter time. The chefs ask residents and families for menu suggestions and talk with each person about their likes, dislikes and any dietary needs. In its 2025 report, the Care Quality Commission rated the home Requires Improvement overall. It graded the home Good for being effective, caring and responsive, and Requires Improvement for being safe and well-led.
