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. ?
Beachville West End is one of 93 care homes in Northumberland: a 13-bed residential care home in Newbiggin-By-The-Sea, run by Mr & Mrs Allison. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Northumberland, where the typical home has 36 beds.
In Northumberland, 91% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2025. 95% of homes in Northumberland also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from July 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. That is up from Requires improvement in May 2022.
