Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 2 exceptional, 3 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Relativeto Limited runs Dove Valley Mews, a residential care home in Barnsley with room for 6 residents. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Barnsley, where the typical home has 33 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in February 2025. Its rating before that, in March 2023, was the same. That is more recent than most ratings in Barnsley, where the typical rating is about 3 years old. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 3 fell below good. The lowest was “safe environments” (some shortfalls).
In Barnsley, 82% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). 5 of Relativeto Limited’s 5 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). The nearest home with a higher rating is Woodways (Outstanding), 0.4 km away.
