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. ?
Run by The Hennessy Partnership Limited, Bishops Way is a residential care home in Huddersfield, Kirklees with 16 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
Across Kirklees, 78% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2025. 79% of homes in Kirklees also score 5. The nearest home with a higher rating is Greenacres (Good), 0.2 km away. 3 of The Hennessy Partnership Limited’s 4 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
The current CQC rating is Requires improvement, published in April 2020. It was Requires improvement for responsive and well-led as well. Safe, effective and caring were rated Good. Its previous rating, in September 2017, was Good, so the home has slipped. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Kirklees, 40% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
