What inspectors found

Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the April 2023 inspection. This domain covers whether staff have the right training and knowledge, whether care plans are detailed and person-centred, whether residents have access to healthcare professionals, and whether nutrition and hydration are well managed. The home lists dementia as a specialism, which indicates some level of specific training and adapted care practice. The published inspection text does not describe the content of training, care plan review frequency, or GP access arrangements in any detail.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Outstanding at the April 2023 inspection. This is the highest possible rating and is awarded only when inspectors find specific, consistent evidence of exceptional warmth, dignity, and respect going well beyond what regulations require. The published inspection text does not reproduce the detailed narrative that would normally sit behind an Outstanding Caring rating, but the rating itself is significant: fewer than six per cent of homes in England hold an Outstanding Caring rating. The home also holds an Outstanding overall rating, which is consistent with this finding.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the April 2023 inspection. This domain covers whether the home tailors its care to individual preferences, whether activities are meaningful and varied, whether complaints are handled well, and whether end-of-life care is planned sensitively. The home cares for people with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment, which means responsiveness to individual need is particularly important. The published inspection text does not describe specific activity programmes, complaint handling, or end-of-life care arrangements.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Outstanding at the April 2023 inspection. This rating requires inspectors to find strong evidence of a positive, open culture, stable and visible leadership, effective governance, and a workforce that feels supported and able to raise concerns. A named registered manager and a nominated individual are both confirmed in post. The published inspection text does not reproduce the narrative detail behind this rating, but Outstanding Well-led is held by a small minority of homes and is a strong indicator of organisational quality.

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.
DCC Family Score
St Marys Riverside earned an Outstanding overall rating, driven by exceptional scores in caring and leadership. The inspection text available is limited in specific detail, so some scores reflect the rating evidence rather than granular inspector observations.
Homes in Yorkshire & Humberside typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
St Marys Riverside, at 7 Wintersgill Place in Hessle, was rated Outstanding overall at its inspection in April 2023, with Outstanding ratings specifically for Caring and Well-led, and Good ratings in Safe, Effective, and Responsive. Outstanding is the highest rating awarded and is achieved by fewer than six per cent of care homes in England. The Caring rating in particular tells you that inspectors found something genuinely exceptional in the way staff treat the people who live here, going well beyond basic compliance with dignity standards. A named registered manager and nominated individual are both confirmed in post, which is a positive sign of leadership stability. The main limitation of this report is that the published inspection text is brief and does not contain the granular detail that would let us describe specific staff interactions, night staffing numbers, food quality, or individual activity arrangements. The scores here reflect the domain ratings rather than detailed narrative evidence. Before you decide, visit at a mealtime to see how staff interact with your parent in an unstructured moment, ask the manager directly about night staffing ratios, and check what one-to-one engagement looks like for residents who cannot join group activities.
