What inspectors found

Inspected 2019-06-28

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    Inspectors rated Bridgedale House as Good for safety at the June 2019 inspection. The published report does not include specific observations about staffing numbers, medicines management, or falls recording. The home is registered to support 25 people, including those living with dementia. No concerns about safety were identified when the rating was reviewed in July 2023.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the June 2019 inspection. Dementia is listed as a specialism of the home, which implies a level of relevant training and care planning. The published report does not describe the content of staff training, how frequently care plans are reviewed, or how the home accesses GP and specialist health services. No specific examples of effective practice were recorded in the published findings.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    Inspectors rated the Caring domain as Good at the June 2019 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and whether people are treated as individuals. The published report does not include any direct observations of staff interactions, resident or family quotes, or specific examples of dignity in practice. The rating alone is the only evidence available in the published findings.
    Verified by inspectorResident testimony recorded
  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the June 2019 inspection. This domain covers whether people have a life in the home: meaningful activities, individual engagement, and responsiveness to changing needs including end-of-life preferences. The published report does not describe the activity programme, how the home engages people who cannot join group activities, or how end-of-life wishes are recorded and honoured.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    The Well-led domain was rated Good at the June 2019 inspection. Mrs Sarah Revitt is both the registered manager and the nominated individual for Bridgedale House, meaning she holds full legal and operational responsibility for the home. The rating was reviewed in July 2023 and no concerns were identified. The published report contains no detail about management visibility, staff culture, governance processes, or how the home responds to complaints or incidents.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    Bridgedale House provides specialist dementia care alongside general support for people over 65. The team understands that dementia care requires both structure and flexibility. Their approach combines consistent routines with patient, individualised support that adapts to each resident's changing needs. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

62/ 100

DCC Family Score

Bridgedale House holds a Good rating across all five inspection domains, but the published report contains very little specific detail. The score reflects a genuine Good rating rather than any concern, but the lack of observable evidence means families should gather their own information on a visit.

Homes in Yorkshire & Humberside typically score 68–82.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Bridgedale House on Fulwood Road in Sheffield was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last inspection in June 2019. The registered manager, Mrs Sarah Revitt, holds both the registered manager and nominated individual roles, giving a clear line of accountability. The rating was reviewed against available data in July 2023 and no concerns were identified at that point. The most important thing for you to know is that the published inspection report contains very little specific detail. A Good rating is a genuine finding, not a rubber stamp, but it tells you that standards met the threshold at a point now more than five years ago. You should treat a visit as your own inspection: watch how staff speak to your parent, ask to see the activity schedule and the staffing rota, and find out what night cover looks like for 25 residents. The questions in the checklist below are your starting point.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier
