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. ?
Akari Care Limited runs Wordsworth House, a nursing home in Newcastle upon Tyne with room for 78 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Newcastle upon Tyne has 35 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
