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. ?
Oswald House is a 8-bed residential care home in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham. The home is its own registered provider. Its CQC registration covers people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in County Durham, where the typical home has 40 beds.
In County Durham, 92% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Oswald House Care Home Limited runs 4 care homes, and all 4 rated are Good or Outstanding.
In July 2023, 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 June 2018.
