Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the February 2019 inspection. This domain covers training, care planning, healthcare access including GP and specialist input, and nutrition. The home lists dementia as a specialism, which means inspectors would have considered whether staff training and care planning reflected that specialism. No specific training content, care plan examples, GP access arrangements, or food observations are included in the published summary.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the February 2019 inspection. This is the domain that covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and whether the people who live here are treated as individuals. No inspector observations about how staff spoke to residents, whether they used preferred names, or whether interactions felt unhurried are recorded in the published text. No resident or relative quotes from the inspection are available.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the February 2019 inspection. This domain covers whether activities are meaningful and tailored to individuals, whether the home responds to complaints, and whether end-of-life care is planned. No detail about the activities programme, individual engagement for people who cannot join group sessions, or end-of-life planning arrangements is included in the published summary.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the February 2019 inspection. Mrs Jacqueline Perry is listed as the nominated individual for Monarch Consultants Limited, the organisation running the home. No detail about the registered manager's tenure, how staff are supported to raise concerns, how the home monitors its own quality, or how families are kept informed is included in the published summary. The July 2023 monitoring review found no evidence requiring a change to the rating.

What the evidence base says
The home specialises in caring for people with dementia and mental health conditions, alongside general nursing care for older adults. For those living with dementia, the team provides specialist nursing support. Understanding how they approach dementia care day-to-day would be an important part of any visit. 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.
DCC Family Score
Haddon House Nursing Home holds a Good rating across all five inspection domains, but the published report contains very limited specific detail. Scores reflect the rating itself rather than rich observational evidence, so there is meaningful uncertainty behind each number.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Haddon House Nursing Home, on the High Street in Staveley, Chesterfield, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its only published inspection, carried out on 5 February 2019 and published 27 February 2019. The home is registered for 40 beds and specialises in care for adults over 65, dementia, and mental health conditions. A monitoring review in July 2023 found no evidence requiring a change to the rating. At face value, a clean sweep of Good ratings is a positive foundation. The significant uncertainty here is age. The inspection findings are now over six years old, and the published summary contains almost no specific detail about what inspectors actually saw, heard, or measured. A Good rating tells you the home met the threshold at that point in time; it does not tell you what daily life looks like now. Before making a decision, visit the home in person, ask to see recent staffing rotas (especially night shifts), ask how the dementia unit has changed since 2019, and request the most recent care quality monitoring data the home holds internally. Ask specifically how the home keeps families informed and how often it reviews care plans.
