Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 25 good, 8 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. ?
Careline Lifestyles (UK) Ltd runs Wilkinson Park, a residential care home in Morpeth, Northumberland with room for 21 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Northumberland has 36 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from November 2025, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in October 2023, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. Ratings in Northumberland are typically about 3 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 8 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “independence, choice and control”.
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Careline Lifestyles (UK) Ltd runs 6 care homes, and all 5 rated are Good or Outstanding. Across Northumberland, 91% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2026. That is true of 95% of homes in Northumberland.
