Firs Residential Home is a residential care home in Barnsley, run by The Firs Care Home Barnsley Ltd. CQC registers it for 47 places and supports older people, people living with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability.

CQC rated it Requires improvement overall in November 2019. It was rated Good for effective and caring. This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. Across Barnsley, 82% of the 67 rated care homes are Good or Outstanding. The rating is 6 years old. CQC decides when to re-inspect based on risk, so this isn't a mark against the home, but it's worth asking what has changed since.
