About

South Quay Care Home is a purpose-built home run by Roseberry Care Centres, to the west of the seaside town of Blyth in Northumberland. Shops and the Northumberland coast are within easy reach, and the home has enclosed gardens. It has 58 registered beds and provides residential, nursing, dementia and respite care, with specialist support for people with physical disabilities.

The activities team takes time to learn about each resident's hobbies and interests, so they can help people do more of what they enjoy, such as trips to the seaside or listening to live music. The catering team welcomes menu suggestions from residents and their families and asks about likes, dislikes and dietary needs.

The home was rated Good by the Care Quality Commission in its 2025 report, and all five key questions were also graded Good.
