What inspectors found

  • Is this home safe?

    Not yet rated
    The home was rated Good for Safety at its July 2025 inspection. The published report does not include specific observations about staffing levels, medicines management, falls prevention, or infection control practices. Dementia and physical disability are listed specialisms, which means the home should have systems in place for managing the particular safety risks those conditions bring. No concerns or requirements were recorded in this domain.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Not yet rated
    The home was rated Good for Effectiveness at its July 2025 inspection. This domain covers training, care planning, healthcare access, nutrition, and how well the home acts on guidance from professionals such as GPs and specialists. Dementia care is listed as a specialism, which means inspectors would have considered whether training and care planning reflect dementia-specific needs. No detail on any of these areas is provided in the available published text.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The team here supports adults both under and over 65, with particular experience in dementia care and physical disabilities. This mixed-age approach means they're equipped to handle varied care requirements. For residents living with dementia, the home provides specialist support as part of their broader care services. Their experience spans different stages of dementia alongside physical care 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.

74/ 100

DCC Family Score

Fieldhead Park received a Good rating across all five domains at its July 2025 inspection, which is a positive baseline, but the published report contains very limited specific detail, so scores reflect the rating itself rather than rich observational evidence.

Homes in Yorkshire & Humberside typically score 68–82.
DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Fieldhead Park, on Kitson Hill Road in Mirfield, was assessed in July 2025 and rated Good across all five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led. The home is registered for 54 beds and lists dementia, physical disabilities, and nursing care among its specialisms. A named registered manager and a nominated individual are confirmed in post, which is a positive governance indicator. The rating is consistent with a previous Good, suggesting a stable rather than declining service. The main uncertainty here is that the published inspection report contains very little descriptive detail: no inspector observations, no resident or family quotes, and no specific examples of practice are included in the available text. A Good rating is genuinely positive, but it tells you the inspectors were satisfied on the day, not how life actually feels for your mum or dad week to week. Before visiting, prepare specific questions about night staffing ratios, agency staff usage, dementia training content, and how the home keeps families informed of changes. On the visit itself, spend time in a communal area and watch whether staff interactions feel unhurried and personal.
