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. ?
Swanton Care & Community (Autism North) Limited runs Eastcliffe, a residential care home in Sunderland with room for 10 residents. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Sunderland has 34 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In January 2024, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in August 2018, was the same.
It is one of 15 homes run by Swanton Care & Community (Autism North) Limited. 13 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Falstone Court, 0.2 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in November 2025. That is true of 96% of homes in Sunderland. Across Sunderland, 93% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
