Low Fell has a real village feel, with independent shops, cafés and a lively stretch of Durham Road at its heart. Bluebird Care Gateshead is based just down the road on Team Valley, so our team is never far away. We provide caring, flexible home care across Low Fell, Chowdene, Harlow Green and Sheriff Hill.
Low Fell
Our team understands the local area, from Fell Tower Medical Centre and Fell Cottage Surgery to the pharmacies along Durham Road and the best spots for a walk, like Saltwell Park. Many of our customers enjoy gentle strolls, a browse at Low Fell Library or a cuppa at a local café with their carers, keeping active and connected to the community. We're also happy to liaise with local services, including Gateshead Council, to make sure you get the wider support you need.

Being so close to our office means we can respond quickly when needs change, whether that's extra visits after a hospital stay or support stepping up over time.
Low Fell has grown into a settled, popular area with a village character, and many of our customers want to keep enjoying exactly that: their local café, their neighbours and their own front door.
Working alongside Low Fell's health services
We work alongside local GP practices including Fell Tower Medical Centre on Durham Road and Fell Cottage Surgery on Kells Lane. Our carers can collect prescriptions from pharmacies on the doorstep, such as Boots on Durham Road and Well Pharmacy on Beaconsfield Road.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is only a short distance away, which makes appointments and hospital discharge support straightforward to coordinate.
Staying connected in Low Fell
Our companionship care helps customers keep doing the things they enjoy. Low Fell Library is a busy community library run entirely by volunteers, hosting a monthly book group and a programme of talks and events. It's a lovely outing for customers who enjoy reading or company.
Saltwell Park is close by too, ideal for a gentle walk or a cuppa in the fresh air.
