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. ?
Swanton Care & Community Limited runs The Grove, a residential care home in Middlesbrough with room for 5 residents. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Middlesbrough has 35 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In June 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Middlesbrough, 45% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2026. That is true of 100% of homes in Middlesbrough. Across Middlesbrough, 95% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. It is one of 8 homes run by Swanton Care & Community Limited. 6 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
