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. ?
An independent residential care home in Darlington, Eden Cottage Care Home is run by an organisation of the same name. It has 25 beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in June 2025. 92% of homes in Darlington also score 5. Across Darlington, 86% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In February 2019, 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 32% of homes in Darlington. Here is how rating age varies by council.
