The following definitions of housing and care homes for older people apply to the following tables, where each older person's housing scheme and care home in Gateshead is presented, along with scheme / care home specific details:

Housing for Older People (HfOP): social sector sheltered and age-designated housing and private sector retirement housing:

The most common types of Housing for Older People are:
- Sheltered social housing: These schemes typically offer self-contained accommodation commonly available for social rent. They are usually supported by a part-time/visiting scheme manager and 24-hour emergency help via an alarm. There are often communal areas and some offer activities. Most accommodation is offered for rent, based on need, by local councils or housing associations.
- Private sector retirement housing: This is typically similar to sheltered social housing, but it is usually built by private developers for market sale. Once all the properties have been sold, the scheme is sometimes run by a separate management company that employ the scheme manager and organise maintenance and other services.

Housing with care (HwC): (often referred to as 'extra care housing (opens new window)' when provided by housing associations and local authorities and 'assisted living' by private sector providers)

Housing with care is designed for older people, some with higher levels of care and support needs. Residents live in self-contained homes. It typically has more communal facilities and offers access to onsite 24/7 care services, which includes assistance with meal preparation, washing and other daily duties. Often includes a 24/7 alarm system, presence of a scheme manager and a team of support staff.

Residential care home

A residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms, and have access to on-site social care services. 24/7 onsite personal social care services include help with washing and dressing. Residential care homes do not consist of self-contained units.

Nursing care home:

Similar to a residential care home, but additionally providing care from qualified nurses. There will always be 1 or more qualified nurses on duty to provide nursing care. These are sometimes called 'care homes with nursing'. The Care Quality Commission states that in addition (to a residential care home), "qualified nursing care is provided, to ensure that the full needs of the person using the service are met." Nursing care homes do not consist of self-contained units.
