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 runs Brierton Lodge Care Home, a nursing home in Hartlepool with room for 58 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Hartlepool has 32 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In September 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. That matches its previous rating, from October 2017.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 36 of HC-One No.2 Limited’s 39 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). In Hartlepool, 92% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The home changed owner in June 2026.
