Victoria House over the years
Registered in December 2011, it has 14 years on the CQC register.
CQC has published 7 overall ratings for it (2015–2023), starting at Requires improvement; it has gone up 3 and down 2 times, and is now Good.
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.

Likely fees
We estimate Victoria House 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.
Part of a nursing fee may be met by the NHS (NHS-funded nursing care), paid to the home rather than to you.
With savings below £23,250, Wakefield Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.
The inspection, summarised
- However, service design and decoration was in need of refurbishment in some areas.
- Signage was not in place to assist people living with dementia to orientate themselves around the home.
- Some people's rooms were not personalised, and some people were required to share rooms.
- People were offered choice of meals and people told us they enjoyed their meals.
