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. ?
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. ?
Stoneleigh Care Home is one of 142 care homes in County Durham: a 36-bed residential care home in Stanley, run by WT HI OpCo 1 Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability.
Its CQC rating, from June 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. Its rating before that, in September 2017, was the same.
The home changed owner in June 2026. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 29 of WT HI OpCo 1 Limited’s 32 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Across County Durham, 92% 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 84% of homes in County Durham.
