What inspectors found

Inspected 2019-05-10

  • Is this home safe?

    Not yet rated
    Safe was rated Good at the July 2025 inspection. This is an improvement from the home's previous Requires Improvement rating, which means inspectors were previously not satisfied with some aspect of safety and the home has since addressed it. The published summary does not record specific detail about staffing ratios, medicines management, falls monitoring, or infection control. The presence of a registered manager and a nominated individual are confirmed.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Not yet rated
    Effective was rated Good at the July 2025 inspection. This domain covers care planning, staff training, nutrition and hydration, and healthcare access including GP involvement. The published summary does not record specific observations about any of these areas. The home carries a dementia specialism, which places additional requirements on training and individualised care planning.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Not yet rated
    Caring was rated Good at the July 2025 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and whether people are supported to remain as independent as possible. The published summary contains no direct observations about how staff interacted with residents, no quotes from residents or relatives, and no specific examples of dignified care in practice.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Not yet rated
    Responsive was rated Good at the July 2025 inspection. This domain covers whether the home meets individual needs, whether activities are meaningful and tailored, and whether end-of-life care is planned and person-centred. The published summary contains no specific examples of activities provided, no information about how the home responds to individual preferences, and no detail about end-of-life planning.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Not yet rated

Mrs Jennifer Ann Symmonds is the registered manager and Mr Howard Emanuel is the nominated individual. The home has improved from a previous Requires Improvement rating to a full Good across all domains, which indicates leadership has been effective in identifying and addressing shortfalls.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The home cares for adults across different age groups — both under and over 65 — which means they're experienced in supporting younger adults who need residential care. They provide specialised dementia support alongside general care. Cleveland View offers dementia care as one of their core services. The team understands the importance of creating the right environment and providing appropriate support for residents living with dementia. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

74/ 100

DCC Family Score

Cleveland View scores 74 out of 100. The home has improved from Requires Improvement to a full Good rating across all five domains, which is a meaningful positive step, but the inspection report published in November 2025 provides limited specific detail, so many scores reflect the rating itself rather than rich, observable evidence.

Homes in North East typically score 68–82.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Cleveland View, on Cargo Fleet Lane in Middlesbrough, was assessed in July 2025 and rated Good across all five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led. This is a significant improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement, and that upward trajectory matters. A home that has actively worked to address shortfalls and achieved a clean Good across every domain is demonstrating that its management team can identify problems and fix them. The home is registered for 60 beds and holds a specialism in dementia care, caring for both adults over and under 65. The main limitation of this report is that the published summary contains very little specific detail about what inspectors actually observed. Almost every score in this Family View reflects the domain rating itself rather than rich, direct evidence such as inspector observations, resident quotes, or family testimony. That means there is a gap between what the rating tells you and what you can verify from published information alone. Before you visit, prepare specific questions: ask to see last week's actual staffing rota (not the template), ask how many permanent staff work on the dementia unit after 8pm, and ask what one-to-one activity looks like for a resident who cannot join a group. Walk the building slowly and watch whether staff make eye contact with your parent, use their name, and move without rushing.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier
