Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the October 2017 inspection. This domain covers whether staff have the right training, whether care plans reflect individual needs, whether people have access to healthcare, and whether nutrition and hydration are managed well. No specific detail about what inspectors observed is available in the published summary. Methodist Homes, the organisation running the home, has published dementia care frameworks nationally, which may be relevant context.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the October 2017 inspection. This domain covers how staff treat people: whether they are kind, whether they respect privacy and dignity, and whether they support people's independence. No specific inspector observations, quotes from residents, or family testimony are available in the published summary. The absence of detail makes it impossible to say what specifically was seen.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the October 2017 inspection. This domain covers whether the home tailors care to individual needs, whether activities are meaningful and varied, whether complaints are handled well, and whether end-of-life care is planned appropriately. As with the other domains, no specific detail from the inspection is available in the published summary.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the October 2017 inspection. The home has a named registered manager (Mr Adam Joseph Carling) and a nominated individual (Mrs Amanda Weir), both recorded at the time of inspection. Methodist Homes is the operating organisation. No detail is available about what inspectors found in terms of culture, staff empowerment, governance processes, or quality monitoring. It is also not known whether the same manager is still in post.

What the evidence base says
The home cares for adults over 65 and has experience supporting people with dementia. While Glen Rosa & Kitwood House welcomes residents with dementia, you'll want to ask about their specific approaches and staff training when you visit. 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
The overall Good rating lifts confidence in most areas, but the Requires Improvement in Safe is a real concern that pulls the family score down. The inspection is also from October 2017, which means the findings are now more than seven years old and should be treated as background context rather than a current picture.

Worth a visit
Glen Rosa and Kitwood House on Grove Road in Ilkley received an overall Good rating at its last inspection, carried out in October 2017 and published in November 2017. Four of the five domains, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led, were all rated Good. The home is registered to support up to 47 people, including those living with dementia, and is run by Methodist Homes, one of the larger not-for-profit care providers in the UK. The one significant finding that stands out is a Requires Improvement rating in the Safe domain. This means inspectors identified something that needed to change to protect residents, though the published summary does not spell out what specifically was found. Equally important: this inspection is from 2017, making it over seven years old. A review was carried out in July 2023 and found no evidence requiring a reassessment of the rating, but that is not the same as a fresh inspection. Before making a decision, visit the home in person, ask the manager what changed after the 2017 Safe finding and how the home has been reviewed since, and request sight of any more recent quality reports or survey results.
