Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the March 2018 inspection. Dementia is listed as a registered specialism, which implies some level of dementia-specific training and care planning was in place. A Good rating for Effective would have required inspectors to find that care plans reflected individual needs and that residents had appropriate access to healthcare professionals. No specific detail about training content, GP access frequency, or care plan review processes is available in the published summary.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the March 2018 inspection. Inspectors would have assessed whether staff treated residents with dignity and respect, whether privacy was upheld, and whether residents were supported to maintain independence. No specific inspector observations, resident quotes, or family testimony are available in the published summary for this home. The Good rating indicates a satisfactory standard was met at the time of inspection.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the March 2018 inspection. This domain assesses whether the home tailors its care to individual needs, offers meaningful activities, and responds appropriately to complaints. No specific detail about the activities programme, complaint handling, or how the home supports residents with advanced dementia to remain engaged is available in the published summary. The July 2023 monitoring review did not identify concerns in this area.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the March 2018 inspection. A named registered manager, Mrs Joanna Frances Kearney, was in post at the time, alongside a nominated individual, Mrs Emma Jane Gray. A Good rating for Well-led would have required inspectors to find that the manager was visible and supportive, that governance systems were in place, and that the culture enabled staff to raise concerns. No detail about management tenure, staff survey findings, or incident learning is available in the published summary.

What the evidence base says
The home provides residential care for people aged 65 and over, with particular experience in dementia support. For residents living with dementia, the team works to maintain that same person-centred approach. They focus on understanding each individual's needs and preferences as these change over time. 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
Crosshill House holds a Good rating across all five inspection domains, but the single inspection dates from March 2018 — over six years ago — meaning there is limited specific detail available to translate into confident family-facing evidence. The scores reflect a genuinely positive baseline, tempered by the age of the data.
Homes in Yorkshire & Humberside typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Crosshill House Residential Care Home in Barrow upon Humber holds a Good rating across all five inspection domains — Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led — following an inspection carried out in March 2018. The home is registered to care for up to 32 people, including those living with dementia, and is run by Oakhills Residential Homes Limited with a named registered manager in post. A review carried out in July 2023 found no evidence requiring a reassessment of the rating, meaning the Good rating formally stands. The most important thing to understand is that the underlying inspection data is now more than six years old. A Good rating is a meaningful starting point, but it tells you very little about what the home looks and feels like today — the staffing team, the food, the activities, the culture. When you visit, ask to speak to the registered manager about what has changed since 2018, how many permanent staff are on the dementia unit after 8pm, and what one-to-one activity looks like for someone who cannot join group sessions. Trust what you observe on the day over what any document says.
