STAGE 4 — RESEARCHING CARE HOMES
Visit homes. Compare them side by side. Choose with confidence.
Most of us will view care homes the way we view houses, impression, atmosphere, the feeling in the corridor. We go home, try to remember what we saw, and make a permanent decision from a blurred memory.
The DCC shortlist gives every home you visit a structured record: the same twelve questions, answered the same way, every time. When you’re ready to choose, pull any two homes side by side and compare them directly. Same criteria, same evidence, your notes and your scores.

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The home was rated Good for effectiveness at its February 2021 inspection. St Peters Court is registered as a dementia specialism home, meaning inspectors would have considered whether care plans, training, and health monitoring meet the needs of people living with dementia. No specific findings about care plan content, GP access, dementia training, or food quality were included in the published text. The monitoring review in 2023 did not identify concerns.Is this home caring?
St Peters Court was rated Good for caring at its February 2021 inspection. No inspector observations of staff interactions, no resident testimony, and no relative feedback were included in the published summary. The Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied with the warmth, dignity, and respect shown to the people who live there, but the specific evidence behind that judgement is not visible in what has been published.Is the home responsive?
The home was rated Good for responsiveness at its February 2021 inspection. St Peters Court is registered to support people living with dementia, which means inspectors would have considered whether activities, daily routines, and care are tailored to individual needs.

St Peters Court provides residential care for adults over 65, with particular experience in supporting those living with dementia. The home also caters to younger adults who need care support.

From gardening projects to games suited to different abilities, there's thought given to keeping days meaningful and stimulating. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.
The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
St Peters Court was rated Good across all five inspection domains, but the published report contains very little specific detail, so scores reflect the rating rather than direct observations or testimony. Families should ask the home directly about day-to-day life.

What families tell us

Staff are consistently described as professional yet warm, creating an atmosphere where both residents and visitors feel comfortable. There's a genuine friendliness that comes through in how the team interacts with everyone who walks through the door.
What inspectors have recorded
What stands out here is how attentive the staff are to residents' needs. The team maintains professional standards while still being approachable and helpful to families. This balance between capability and warmth seems to create an environment where residents feel secure and families feel heard.
How it sits against good practice
When families describe their loved ones as happy here, it speaks to something working well beyond just the basics.
Worth a visit
St Peters Court, at 98 Church Bank in Wallsend, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last inspection in February 2021. A monitoring review carried out in July 2023 found no evidence to change that rating. The home is registered for 40 beds and is listed as specialising in dementia care, alongside support for adults over and under 65. A named registered manager is in post and the home is operated by Akari Care Limited. The main limitation of this report is that very little specific detail was published. Inspectors did not record direct observations of care interactions, resident or family testimony, staffing ratios, activity provision, or food quality in the available text. A Good rating is a meaningful baseline, but it was awarded four years ago and the inspection evidence behind it is not visible here. Before making a decision, visit the home in person, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota including night shifts, and request the activity schedule for the past fortnight. Pay attention to how staff speak to and move around the people who live there during your visit.
