Introducing Southfield Court Care Home

Southfield Court Care Home is a CQC-registered nursing home in Huddersfield, run by Southfield Court Care Home Limited. Its CQC registration covers adults of all ages, including people living with dementia.

Costs to expect

We estimate Southfield Court Care Home at £1,400–£1,720 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £73k–£89k.

Where a resident needs nursing, the NHS pays part of the fee straight to the home as NHS-funded nursing care, regardless of who pays the rest.

Track record

CQC registration dates from January 2024, so the service has been operating for around 2 years under its current registration.

CQC has published 8 overall ratings for it (2016–2023), starting at Inadequate; it has gone up 3 and down 2 times, and is now Requires improvement.

It has gone 3 years without a new overall rating. CQC schedules inspections by risk, so this is not a bad sign in itself, though leadership may have moved on.

Note that a different provider ran the service when it was rated; the current one has not been inspected here so far.
