About
Red Brick House is a 50-bed home in Prudhoe, Northumberland, run by Akari Care Limited. It provides residential, nursing and dementia care, and the home is one of the group's settings that specialises in dementia support for both residential and nursing residents. The operator's stated aim is for residents to be stimulated, valued and cared for, and to find that living there offers a fresh chapter in later life.
The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2025 report, with Good grades for each of the five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. The operator also describes the approach as one that starts with a conversation, so that a family can explain a person's priorities and preferences before a decision is made.
