Section 02

What inspectors found

Inspected 2021-09-30

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    The home received a Good rating for safety at its September 2021 inspection, having previously been rated Requires Improvement. This improvement suggests that identified safety concerns — which may have included medicines management, staffing, or risk assessment — were addressed. The home is a nursing home, meaning a registered nurse should be available around the clock. With 30 beds and a dementia specialism, safe staffing ratios at night are a particularly important consideration. Without the full inspection text, the specific evidence behind this rating cannot be confirmed.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    A Good rating in Effective indicates that at the time of the September 2021 inspection, the home was meeting expected standards around care planning, staff training, healthcare access, and nutrition. The home lists Dementia as a specialism, which means inspectors would have considered whether training and care approaches were appropriate for this group. As a nursing home, access to clinical expertise and medication management would also have been assessed. The specific content of care plans, frequency of GP reviews, or dementia training programmes cannot be confirmed without the full inspection text.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    Good in Caring is the rating families tend to care about most, and this home achieved it in September 2021. This domain covers how staff interact with residents — whether they are kind, patient, respectful, and whether people's dignity and independence are upheld. It also includes whether people are treated as individuals rather than tasks. Without the inspection text, we cannot confirm whether this rating was supported by direct inspector observations of staff interactions, resident testimony, or specific examples of dignity being upheld.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    A Good rating in Responsive indicates the home was meeting expectations around tailoring care to individuals, providing meaningful activities, responding to complaints, and planning for end of life at the time of inspection. For a home specialising in dementia, Responsive should encompass whether activities are adapted for different stages of the condition — not just group sessions that exclude those with more advanced needs. The activities programme, one-to-one engagement practices, and how individual preferences are recorded and acted upon cannot be confirmed without the full inspection text.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    Good in Well-Led means the inspection found the home's leadership, governance, and culture met the required standard in September 2021. Crucially, this rating also reflects the home's improvement trajectory from Requires Improvement — which indicates that leaders identified problems, made changes, and sustained improvement to the point of achieving Good across all domains. The name and tenure of the current registered manager, the stability of the senior team, and the mechanisms for staff to raise concerns cannot be confirmed without the full inspection text.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The home provides specialist dementia care alongside support for residents over 65 with physical disabilities. For those living with dementia, Tudor House offers dedicated support. The patient approach of the staff seems particularly suited to residents who need that extra time and 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.

62/ 100

DCC Family Score

This home holds a Good rating across all five domains following improvement from Requires Improvement, which is a meaningful positive trend — but without the full inspection text, we cannot verify specific observations, quotes, or evidence that would push scores higher with confidence.

Homes in Yorkshire & Humberside typically score 68–82.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

This nursing home on Leeds Road in Selby holds a current Good rating across all five inspection domains, awarded following an assessment in September 2021. Importantly, this represents a meaningful improvement from a previous rating of Requires Improvement — which tells you that someone identified what was wrong and fixed it. The home is registered to care for up to 30 people, including those living with dementia and physical disabilities, and operates as a nursing home, meaning qualified nurses should be on-site. The main limitation in producing this report is that the full inspection text was not available, which means we cannot point you to specific inspector observations, resident quotes, or documented evidence behind any of the five Good ratings. A Good rating from a previous Requires Improvement is reassuring, but it was awarded in autumn 2021 — that is now over three years ago. Staff teams change, managers move on, and occupancy pressures can shift a home's culture quickly. Before placing your mum or dad here, visit in person at a time that includes a mealtime if possible, ask directly about night staffing numbers, and find out who the current registered manager is and how long they have been in post.
