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. ?
Bluebell House is a 3-bed residential care home in Middlesbrough, run by Royal Mencap Society. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Middlesbrough, where the typical home has 35 beds.
Its CQC rating, from January 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Middlesbrough, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
It is one of 26 homes run by Royal Mencap Society. 25 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. In Middlesbrough, 95% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
