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. ?
Station Road is a 3-bed residential care home in Darlington, run by Middleton St George Healthcare Limited. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is smaller than most homes in Darlington, where the typical home has 40 beds.
In February 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from October 2017.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Darlington, 86% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2026. That is true of 92% of homes in Darlington.
