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 March 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. ?
Strathallen is one of 44 care homes in Redcar and Cleveland: a 9-bed residential care home in Saltburn-By-The-Sea, run by MC Independent Care Initiatives Limited. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Redcar and Cleveland, where the median is 27 beds.
There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. MC Independent Care Initiatives Limited has run the home since March 2026, when it changed owner. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2025. 97% of homes in Redcar and Cleveland also score 5. Across Redcar and Cleveland, 86% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
In November 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from December 2018. Ratings in Redcar and Cleveland are typically about 5 years old, which makes this one newer than most.
