CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
The home changed owner in June 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Ashbourne Lodge Care Centre is one of 86 care homes in Sunderland: a 40-bed residential care home in Sunderland, run by HC-One No.2 Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in June 2023. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in October 2017, was the same.
36 of HC-One No.2 Limited’s 39 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. The home changed owner in June 2026. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in September 2026. That is true of 96% of homes in Sunderland. In Sunderland, 93% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
