Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good, indicating that inspectors were satisfied with how the home assesses needs, delivers care, and supports health outcomes. This covers training, care planning, access to GPs and healthcare professionals, and nutritional support. The home lists dementia, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities as specialisms, meaning staff are expected to have skills across a wide range of needs. No concerns about medicines management or healthcare coordination were highlighted in the published report.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the November 2023 inspection. This domain reflects how staff treat your parent — their kindness, respect for dignity, and whether your parent's independence is supported rather than replaced. A Good rating here means inspectors were satisfied that the culture of care met expected standards. No specific incidents of poor practice or dignity concerns were noted in the published report. However, no direct quotes from residents or relatives are included in the published findings.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good, indicating that inspectors found the home was meeting individual needs, responding to complaints, and providing appropriate activities and engagement. For a home supporting people with dementia, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities across 24 beds, responsiveness includes tailoring activities to different abilities and ensuring people who cannot join group sessions are not left unstimulated. No specific detail about activity programmes, one-to-one engagement, or complaints handling is included in the published report.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the November 2023 inspection. Ms Heather Joy is named as the Nominated Individual for the provider HICA, meaning there is a named accountable person registered with the regulator. A Good rating in this domain means inspectors were satisfied with the governance arrangements, management culture, and the home's ability to learn and improve. No concerns about leadership instability or governance failures were noted. The home has been inspected three times, suggesting an established operating history.

What the evidence base says
The home specialises in supporting adults under 65 with learning disabilities and physical disabilities, alongside traditional care for older residents. They're registered to provide dementia care across all age groups. Prospect House accepts residents living with dementia, providing specialist care for both younger people with early-onset dementia and older residents as their needs change. 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
Prospect House holds a fully Good rating across all five inspection domains, which is a positive baseline — but the published report contains very limited specific detail, so the family score reflects solid official findings rather than rich, verified evidence of day-to-day life.
Homes in Yorkshire & Humberside typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Prospect House on Woodland Avenue in Goole is a 24-bed home run by HICA, supporting adults over and under 65 with dementia, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities. The inspection carried out on 16 November 2023 awarded a Good rating across all five domains — Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led — which means inspectors found no areas of concern and the home met the standard expected across every part of its operation. A fully Good profile across all domains is achieved by fewer than half of care homes inspected nationally, so this is a meaningful result. The main limitation for families reading this report is that the published findings contain very little specific detail — no direct quotes from your parent's future neighbours, no inspector observations of staff interactions, no description of mealtimes or activities. A Good rating tells you the floor is solid; it does not tell you what the home feels like at 7am on a Tuesday or at 11pm when the night staff come on. Before deciding, visit at an unannounced time if you can, ask to see the most recent staffing rota alongside agency usage figures, and ask specifically how staff are trained to support someone with dementia when they become distressed — those are the moments a Good rating cannot fully capture.
