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. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
The Old Vicarage is one of 123 care homes in Kirklees: a 7-bed residential care home in Dewsbury, run by Parkcare Homes (No.2) Limited. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Kirklees has 23 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from January 2023, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in October 2018.
