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. ?
Thornhill is one of 86 care homes in Sunderland: a 7-bed residential care home in Sunderland, run by North East Autism Society. It is registered to care for younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. It is a small home for Sunderland, where the median is 34 beds.
Its CQC rating, from October 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in February 2018.
It is one of 15 homes run by North East Autism Society. 14 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 63 other homes in Sunderland share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in March 2020. That is true of 96% of homes in Sunderland.
