About Newcombe Lodge

Newcombe Lodge is a care home based in Newcastle upon Tyne, a city known for its strong sense of community and warmth. The team here is dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where young people can feel genuinely cared for and understood. Families searching for the right place for their child can take comfort in knowing that Newcombe Lodge approaches its work with compassion at the heart of everything it does.

Newcombe Lodge is a residential children's home for up to eight children with mental health and emotional wellbeing needs, specialising in supporting those with emotionally unstable personality disorder and a history of self-harm. Described by the provider as a transitional recovery service, the home offers long-term accommodation and treatment. Each child has their own bedroom but shares common facilities with other residents.

At the time of inspection, five children were living at the home. Children are placed through local authority arrangements or transitional care pathways.
