Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 3 good, 30 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. ?

78% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).

Most homes in Kirklees are smaller: the median there is 23 beds.
In May 2026, CQC gave it Requires improvement overall, and Requires improvement for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in March 2023, was Good, so the home has slipped.
