What inspectors found

Inspected 2019-01-05

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    The Safe domain was rated Good at the December 2018 inspection. The published summary does not include specific detail about staffing ratios, medicines management, falls recording, or infection control practices. No concerns were highlighted. The rating was confirmed as still appropriate in the July 2023 monitoring review. Beyond the domain rating itself, there is no published observational evidence to draw on.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the December 2018 inspection. This domain covers training, care planning, healthcare access, nutrition, and how well staff understand individual needs. No specific findings were published: there are no details about dementia training programmes, GP visiting frequency, care plan content, or food provision. The rating has not been re-examined since 2018.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    The Caring domain was rated Good at the December 2018 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and how well staff support residents' independence. No inspector observations, resident quotes, or relative comments were published. There is no specific evidence about whether staff use preferred names, how they respond to distress, or how privacy is protected during personal care.
    Verified by inspectorResident testimony recorded
  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the December 2018 inspection. This domain covers activities, individual engagement, complaint handling, and end-of-life care. No specific activities were named in the published findings, and there is no detail about how the home tailors engagement for people with more advanced dementia who cannot join group sessions. No complaints data or end-of-life care information was published.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    The Well-Led domain was rated Good at the December 2018 inspection. A registered manager, Mrs Paula Watson, and a nominated individual, Ms Deborah Napier-Reynolds, are both named in the registration record. No specific details about the management culture, staff empowerment, governance systems, or how the home responds to complaints were published. The monitoring review in July 2023 confirmed no new concerns had emerged, but this was a desk-based review of data rather than a new inspection.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The home specialises in caring for people over 65, with particular experience supporting those living with dementia. For residents with dementia, the team brings the same respectful, person-centred approach that defines their end-of-life care. Staff understand the importance of maintaining dignity and connection throughout the dementia journey. 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.

68/ 100

DCC Family Score

The Queens Residential Care Home holds a Good rating across all five inspection domains, but the published report contains very little specific observational detail. Scores reflect the positive overall rating tempered by the absence of concrete evidence on which to build higher confidence.

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

Worth a visit

The Queens Residential Care Home at 271 Queen Street, Withernsea was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last inspection in December 2018, with that rating confirmed as still current following a monitoring review in July 2023. The home is registered to care for 46 people, including those living with dementia, and is run by Chaptercare Limited with a named registered manager and nominated individual in post. The honest limitation here is that the published inspection report contains very little specific detail: no inspector observations, no resident or relative quotes, and no data on staffing ratios, activities, food, or environment. A Good rating is a meaningful reassurance, but it is now more than six years old. Before making a decision, visit the home at an unannounced time, ask to see the staffing rota for a recent week including nights, ask how dementia care is tailored to individuals, and request a copy of a sample (anonymised) care plan. Use the questions in the checklist above as your starting point.

    The Thoughtful Gift That Makes a Difficult Day Easier

    The things that make the greatest difference to someone living with dementia are rarely the most obvious ones. They are the things that ease the day — that give a carer a moment to breathe, or give the person they care for a moment of calm or quiet joy.
