Hoyland Hall Residential Home

Hoyland Hall Residential Home in Barnsley provides accommodation and personal care for up to 44 older and younger people, including some living with dementia. The CQC rated the home Requires Improvement overall, a decline from its previous Good rating. Inspectors found risks were not always managed safely, infection control and environmental safety needed attention, and some safeguarding concerns had not been properly escalated.

Medicines records did not always show people received their prescribed treatment, and governance systems had not caught these issues.

People and relatives spoke positively about staff kindness, food and feeling safe, though some found little to occupy their time. The provider took action after the assessment to address the concerns raised, but the CQC noted these improvements still need to be embedded into everyday practice.
