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 Mews is a 4-bed residential care home in Blyth, Northumberland, run by Voyage 1 Limited. Its CQC registration covers younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. That is smaller than most homes in Northumberland, where the typical home has 36 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in November 2019. That matches its previous rating, from June 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Northumberland, 28% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from February 2026. That is true of 95% of homes in Northumberland. Across Northumberland, 91% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Voyage 1 Limited runs 241 care homes, and 217 of the 238 rated are Good or Outstanding.
