What inspectors found

  • Is this home safe?

    Not yet rated
    The Safe domain was rated Good at the May 2025 inspection. This means inspectors assessed that risks to your parent are identified and managed, medicines are handled appropriately, and staffing is considered sufficient. No specific detail about staffing ratios, falls management, or infection control processes is included in the available published text. The home had previously received a Requires Improvement overall rating, so a Good rating in Safe represents a confirmed step forward.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Not yet rated
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the May 2025 inspection. This covers whether staff have the right training, whether care plans are detailed and up to date, whether residents have regular access to GPs and healthcare professionals, and whether food meets individual dietary needs. No specific detail about dementia training content, care plan review frequency, or food quality is available in the published summary. A Good rating indicates inspectors were satisfied that the home meets the standard in this area.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Not yet rated
    The Caring domain was rated Good at the May 2025 inspection. This domain covers whether staff treat your parent with warmth, dignity, and respect; whether privacy is maintained during personal care; and whether your parent's independence is supported rather than managed away. No direct inspector observations, resident quotes, or relative testimony are available in the published summary to illustrate what Good looks like in practice at this home. The rating confirms inspectors were satisfied, but the absence of specific detail means you will need to form your own view on a visit.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Not yet rated
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the May 2025 inspection. This covers whether your parent will have a life in the home, including meaningful activities, individual engagement, and a complaints process that works. No specific detail about the activities programme, individual engagement for people with advanced dementia, or how complaints are handled is available in the published summary. The home lists dementia as a specialism, which should mean activities are adapted to individual ability and not limited to group sessions.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Not yet rated
    The Well-led domain was rated Good at the May 2025 inspection. The registered manager is Miss Zsuzsanna Beata Antal and the nominated individual is Mr Alan Goldstein. A named, registered manager in post is a basic but important indicator of leadership stability. The home is run by Bondcare (London) Limited. No specific detail about the manager's tenure, visibility on the floor, or how the home involves families in governance is available in the published summary.

    Section 03

    What the evidence base says

    The home provides care for older adults, younger adults with care needs, and those living with dementia. They offer both long-term residential care and post-hospital support. For those considering dementia care, it's worth asking about their specific approach and staffing arrangements to support residents with memory care needs. 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.

76/ 100

DCC Family Score

Green Acres Care Home received a Good rating across all five domains at its most recent inspection in May 2025, which is a meaningful step forward from its previous Requires Improvement overall rating. The score reflects that positive findings are confirmed at domain level but the published report text available for this analysis does not contain the detailed observations, quotes, or specific examples needed to push scores into the 80s or 90s.

Homes in Yorkshire & Humberside typically score 68–82.

The three-lens summary

Lens 01

What families tell us

Some families appreciate seeing their relatives dressed and engaged during visits, with staff across different roles being approachable and friendly. Others have found the experience less consistent, particularly around how quickly staff respond to calls for help.

Lens 02

What inspectors have recorded

Communication experiences vary significantly between families. While some report being kept well-informed about health changes and receiving compassionate support during difficult times, others describe delays in being told about important care decisions.

Lens 03

How it sits against good practice

Given the mixed experiences reported, taking time to visit and ask detailed questions about care routines and communication protocols would be particularly worthwhile.

DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Green Acres Care Home, on Rigton Drive in Leeds, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its most recent assessment on 1 May 2025, with the report published on 12 June 2025. This is a genuinely positive result for a home that had previously held a Requires Improvement overall rating, and the improvement across every domain is the most important fact for your decision. The home is registered for 62 beds and lists dementia as a specialism, alongside nursing care for adults over and under 65. The main limitation of this report is that the published summary available for analysis does not include the detailed inspector observations, resident or relative quotes, or specific examples that would allow a fuller picture of daily life in the home. A Good rating tells you the bar has been cleared; it does not tell you how comfortably. Before you visit, prepare specific questions: ask about night staffing numbers, how often agency staff cover shifts, what dementia training looks like in practice, and how the home keeps families informed. On the visit itself, watch how staff interact with residents in corridors and communal areas, whether they use preferred names, and whether the pace feels unhurried.

    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.
