DCC Family Score
Scarsdale Grange Nursing Home scored 73 out of 100 on the DCC Family Score. All five inspection domains were rated Good, which is a positive baseline, but the published report contains limited specific detail, direct observations, or resident and family testimony to push individual theme scores higher.

Worth a visit
Scarsdale Grange Nursing Home, at 139 Derbyshire Lane in Sheffield, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its inspection on 6 July 2023, with the report published on 15 September 2023. The home is a 52-bed nursing home registered to care for people living with dementia, adults over 65, and adults under 65. A named Registered Manager, Mrs Diane Henderson, and a Nominated Individual, Mrs Tamara McDonagh, are both recorded as in post, which is a positive indicator of organisational accountability. The rating has been stable across inspections. The main uncertainty here is that the published report contains very limited specific detail: no direct inspector observations, no resident or family quotes, and no specific evidence about staffing levels, activity provision, food quality, or dementia care practice appear in the text available. A Good rating is meaningful, but it tells you the home met the threshold on inspection day. Before making a decision, visit the home in person, ideally at lunchtime, and ask the manager to show you last week's actual staffing rota, the activity timetable, and how families are involved in care planning. The checklist above gives you 21 specific questions to work through.
