DCC Family Score

Worth a visit
Davies Court, on Coronation Avenue in Sheffield, was inspected on 21 August 2025 and rated Good across all five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led. The home is run by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, has a named registered manager, and is registered to care for adults over 65, people living with dementia, and people with mental health conditions across its 60 beds. A Good rating in every domain is a meaningful result and places this home in the upper half of residential care homes nationally. The main limitation here is that the published report text available for this inspection contains very little specific detail. Inspectors clearly found the home to be performing well, but without recorded observations, resident or family quotes, or specifics about staffing, activities, or care planning, it is not possible to paint a full picture for you. This means the questions in the checklist below matter more than usual. When you visit, pay close attention to how staff interact with residents in corridors and at mealtimes, ask to see the current week's activity schedule, and request the actual night staffing numbers. A Good rating tells you the home has cleared the baseline; your visit will tell you whether it is the right fit for your parent.
