Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 26 good, 7 exceptional. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Bede House is one of 86 care homes in Sunderland: a 66-bed nursing home in Sunderland, run by Malhotra Care Homes Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Sunderland, where the typical home has 34 beds.
CQC's latest rating, from October 2025, is Outstanding overall. It was Outstanding for caring and well-led as well. CQC rated safe, effective and responsive as Good. That is more recent than most ratings in Sunderland, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. CQC scored 33 standards: 7 exceptional and the rest good.
