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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
The home changed owner in June 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Orchard Mews is one of 73 care homes in Newcastle upon Tyne: a 39-bed nursing home in Newcastle Upon Tyne, run by WT HI OpCo 1 Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults.
Its CQC rating, from September 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from August 2019.
29 of WT HI OpCo 1 Limited’s 32 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). CQC's register shows no registered manager at the moment. The nearest home with a higher rating is Tyne Grange (Outstanding), 0.3 km away. The home changed owner in June 2026. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in November 2025. That is true of 90% of homes in Newcastle upon Tyne. 41 other homes in Newcastle upon Tyne share its tier, “Good”.
