Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the February 2023 inspection.

What the evidence base says
The home provides specialist support for sensory impairments, mental health conditions, and substance misuse problems. They're equipped to care for people whose rights are restricted under the Mental Health Act. The team has experience supporting people living with dementia alongside other complex conditions. This includes residents who may have both dementia and mental health needs requiring specialist understanding. 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
Holme House Care Home scores 72 out of 100, reflecting a home that has made genuine progress from a Requires Improvement rating to a Good across all five domains. The score sits in the mid-range because the published inspection report provides limited specific detail, observations, or direct quotes to support its positive headline ratings, so the evidence base is positive but general rather than richly documented.

Worth a visit
Holme House Care Home, on Oxford Road in Cleckheaton, was inspected on 9 February 2023 and rated Good across all five domains, with the full report published on 15 March 2023. This is a meaningful improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating, which is an encouraging sign that the home identified what needed to change and acted on it. The home is a 68-bed nursing home run by Milelands Limited, and it supports a wide range of needs including dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and care for people whose rights are restricted under the Mental Health Act. The main uncertainty here is that the published inspection text provided for this review contains very limited narrative detail, specific observations, or direct testimony from residents and families. This means the Good ratings are confirmed but the reasoning behind them is not fully visible. Before choosing Holme House for your parent, a visit is essential: observe how staff talk to the people who live there, ask about staffing levels on night shifts, and request to see how the home has changed since its previous lower rating.
