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. ?
Shaftesbury Care GRP Limited runs De Baliol, a nursing home in Newbiggin By The Sea, Northumberland with room for 59 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. Most homes in Northumberland are smaller: the median there is 36 beds.
In January 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in May 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 28% of homes in Northumberland. Here is how rating age varies by council.
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 September 2026. That is true of 95% of homes in Northumberland. Shaftesbury Care GRP Limited runs 6 care homes, and 5 of the 6 rated are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
