The Laurels is a nursing home in Houghton Le Spring in Sunderland, run by Harbour Healthcare (North) Ltd. It is registered for up to 50 residents and supports older people and people living with dementia.
Its latest CQC rating, published August 2019, is Good overall, and Good in all five key questions. This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner.

CQC decides when to re-inspect based on risk, so this isn't a mark against the home, but it's worth asking what has changed since.
