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. ?
Dearnevale is a 44-bed nursing home in Barnsley. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
CQC last rated the home in March 2020, giving it Outstanding overall. It was Outstanding for caring, responsive and well-led as well. CQC rated safe and effective as Good. Its previous rating, in July 2015, was Good, so the home has improved. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Barnsley, 31% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
