Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 17 good, 16 exceptional. 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. ?
Bespoke Care and Support Ltd runs Woodways, a residential care home in Barnsley with room for 6 residents. Its CQC registration covers younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs.
