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. ?
Bowe's Court Care Home is one of 142 care homes in County Durham: a 23-bed nursing home in Bishop Auckland, run by Durham Care Line Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs, people with a sensory impairment, people who use drugs or alcohol, people with an eating disorder and people detained under the Mental Health Act. That is smaller than most homes in County Durham, where the typical home has 40 beds.
Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Durham Care Line Limited runs 5 care homes, and 4 of the 5 rated are Good or Outstanding. In County Durham, 92% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
Its CQC rating, from July 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in May 2021, was the same.
