About Grangewood Care Centre

Grangewood Care Centre is a residential care home on Chester Road at Shiney Row, between Houghton-le-Spring and Penshaw. It is run by Care UK, one of the larger care home providers in the country, and is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide accommodation and personal care.

In the CQC's published ratings, Grangewood was rated Good overall, with the rating published on 4 March 2026. Its page on the Care UK website has details of the care it offers and how to arrange a visit. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so families should read the latest report on the CQC website and ask the home directly about current availability and fees before making a decision. When visiting, it is worth asking about staffing at night, activities, visiting arrangements and how the home keeps families informed.
