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. ?
North East Autism Society runs Ashton Way, a residential care home in Sunderland with room for 3 residents. Its CQC registration covers younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. It is a small home for Sunderland, where the median is 34 beds.
Its CQC rating, from March 2020, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in September 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 43% of ratings in Sunderland are as old (how rating age varies by council).
63 other homes in Sunderland share its tier, “Good”. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. It is one of 15 homes run by North East Autism Society. 14 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
