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. ?
Tynedale House is a 30-bed residential care home in Blyth, Northumberland, run by Northumberland County Council. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism.
It is the only Outstanding home among the 7 closest. 3 other homes in Northumberland share its tier, “Outstanding”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 3 out of 5 in August 2026. In Northumberland, 95% of homes score 5.
CQC last rated the home in February 2020, giving it Outstanding overall. Caring, responsive and well-led were also Outstanding. Safe and effective were rated Good. That is up from Good in 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).
