Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 33 good. 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. ?
Community Integrated Care runs Bentinck Crescent, a residential care home in Morpeth, Northumberland with room for 7 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with a sensory impairment and people with an eating disorder. That is smaller than most homes in Northumberland, where the typical home has 36 beds.
Across Northumberland, 91% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from May 2025. 95% of homes in Northumberland also score 5. It is one of 24 homes run by Community Integrated Care. 22 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from October 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in November 2023, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. The typical rating in Northumberland is about 3 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC scored 33 standards, and every one was good.
