Cranlea is a purpose-built home, circa 1988. It is owned and maintained by Anchor Trust, England’s largest not-for-profit provider of support, care and housing for older people. Set in a quiet location and in its own well-maintained grounds, Cranlea is close to local shops, excellent bus and metro routes to the coast, Newcastle City Centre and Newcastle Airport.
At Cranlea, we provide residential care for 39 older people (male and female) who have physical disabilities, moderate dementia, some mental health needs, moderate learning disabilities and those who want to maintain their independence but now find that they need some practical and personal care.
