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. ?
J C Care Limited runs Dolphin Lane, a residential care home in Wakefield, Leeds with room for 15 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Leeds has 33 beds, so this one is on the small side.
The current CQC rating is Outstanding, published in October 2018. Responsive and well-led were also Outstanding. For safe, effective and caring, the rating was Good. Before that, in February 2016, it was rated Good. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Leeds, 36% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest homes is rated Outstanding. J C Care Limited runs 8 care homes, and 7 of the 8 rated are Good or Outstanding. In Leeds, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in December 2025. That is true of 89% of homes in Leeds.
