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. ?
Knowle Hill is a 74-bed residential care home in Sheffield, run by SheffCare Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Sheffield has 34 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Across Sheffield, 85% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2026. 82% of homes in Sheffield also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 8 of SheffCare Limited’s 9 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
In November 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in October 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved.
