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. ?

HC-One No.2 Limited has run the home since June 2026, when it changed owner. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2026. 84% of homes in County Durham also score 5. 99 other homes in County Durham share its tier, “Good”.
In July 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in March 2018, was the same.
