Rated Care Homes

Rating changes in North East

Services whose overall rating went up or down, and the latest results from the Care Quality Commission.

About these lists

Each list compares a service's latest overall rating from the Care Quality Commission with the one before it. It only covers latest ratings published in the 12 months to 2 November 2026. A service that was inspected again and kept the same rating is not listed. A change in rating says what inspectors found on one visit, not everything about a service.

In that time, 34 services in North East improved and 30 services dropped. Improved, dropped and latest results are below.
