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. ?
Run by Swanton Care & Community (Autism North) Limited, Eastholme is a residential care home in Seaham, County Durham with 5 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in County Durham has 40 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 15 homes run by Swanton Care & Community (Autism North) Limited. 13 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Across County Durham, 92% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in June 2024. 84% of homes in County Durham also score 5.
In September 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from February 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In County Durham, 29% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
