Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 4 exceptional, 1 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Wentworth Grange is a 51-bed nursing home in Riding Mill, Northumberland, run by Underwood Hall Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people detained under the Mental Health Act.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in November 2025. 95% of homes in Northumberland also score 5. 64 other homes in Northumberland share its tier, “Good”. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from September 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in December 2023, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved.
