Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 31 good, 2 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Moorpine is a 3-bed residential care home in Sunderland, run by North East Autism Society. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Sunderland has 34 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Across Sunderland, 93% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2018. 96% of homes in Sunderland also score 5. Beechwood, 0.3 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding. It is one of 15 homes run by North East Autism Society. 14 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in April 2026. That matches its previous rating, from March 2020. That is more recent than most ratings in Sunderland, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. CQC found some shortfalls in “assessing needs”, one of 2 standards out of 33 scored below good.
