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. ?
Run by Community Integrated Care, Summerson House is a residential care home in Gateshead with 6 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Gateshead has 40 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In February 2020, 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 January 2019. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 27% of homes in Gateshead. Here is how rating age varies by council.
It is one of 24 homes run by Community Integrated Care. 22 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in July 2026. That is true of 84% of homes in Gateshead. 36 other homes in Gateshead share its tier, “Good”.
