- Care Home
Greenbrook Court, part of Choices Housing Association, is a residential care home in Newcastle under Lyme. We support older people who need help with daily living, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Respite stays are available too. Supporting a mixed group well depends on treating each person as an individual rather than as a category. Support is agreed with the person, written in terms they recognise, and reviewed as things change. Some residents need a great deal of hands on help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility. Others mainly want a settled home and support that is available when they ask. For autistic people, predictability is a need rather than a preference, so changes are explained in advance, staffing is kept consistent where we can, and noise, light and busyness are taken seriously. For residents living with dementia we keep routines and surroundings familiar and give people time rather than hurrying them. For those with physical disabilities or sight and hearing loss, the emphasis is on equipment that fits, safe transfers and unhurried communication. Wherever we can, we do things alongside people rather than for them, because a skill used is a skill kept. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and ask us whatever they need to know.

- Care Home
Hempstalls Hall Care Home provides residential care in Newcastle Under Lyme for older people and for younger adults who need support with daily living. We also support people living with dementia and people living with physical disabilities. We work at the pace of the people who live here. That means breakfast when someone wakes rather than when a trolley arrives, a day shaped around what a person actually enjoys, and help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and mobility given in a way that leaves dignity intact. For people living with dementia we keep routines steady and faces familiar. Our staff tend to stay with us for a long time, and that continuity does more to settle somebody than any amount of process ever could. We also take trouble over the building itself, so that it is easy to understand and to move around. Families are part of the picture rather than visitors to be managed. Come when it suits you, join us for a meal, and tell us when you think we have got something wrong, because we would far rather know. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us if you would like to come and see the home.

- Care Home
We are 114 Douglas Road in Newcastle Under Lyme, a residential care home run by Staffordshire County Council. We support older people and younger adults with a wide span of needs, including residents living with dementia, adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults, residents with mental health needs, residents with physical disabilities and residents with visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays for shorter periods. This is a house in an ordinary street, and that is the point. The people who live here are part of the local community rather than set apart from it, and our job is to help each of them live the life they choose. Support is planned one person at a time. We help with personal care where it is wanted, with meals, medication and appointments, and with the practical business of running a home. We also support people to get out locally and to stay close to family and friends. Communication and routine are at the centre of good support here. We take time to learn how each person prefers information to be given, how they tell us that something is wrong and which parts of the day need to stay the same. For residents with sensory loss we adapt how we communicate and how rooms are arranged. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.

- Care Home
The Maples Residential Home is a care home in Newcastle under Lyme. We look after older people who have found that managing alone has become more of a struggle than a pleasure, including many people living with dementia. We try to keep life here ordinary. People get up when they wake, eat food they recognise and enjoy, and spend the day as they choose, in company or quietly on their own. Good dementia care is mostly a matter of unremarkable things done consistently, familiar faces, meals at the times someone expects them, routines that hold together from one day to the next, and staff with enough time to let a conversation take as long as it takes. We would rather shape our day around a person than ask a person to fall in with ours. Relatives are welcome whenever they want to come. We also offer respite stays, whether to give a family carer a proper break or to support somebody through a period of recovery after illness or hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. The better test, we think, is whether somebody seems settled and content after a few weeks here, and that is what we keep asking ourselves. If you would like to look round, please ring and come at a time that suits you.

- Care Home
Florence House is a residential care home in Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffordshire. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia or with mental ill health, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays. We run the home as a household. Residents keep their own routines and their own things around them, choose how they spend the day and what they eat, and are helped with washing, dressing, medication and getting about in the way that suits them. Supporting a mixed group works when everybody is treated as an individual. Some people want quiet and routine, others want company and activity, and both are entirely reasonable ways to live. For people living with dementia, our team relies on knowing the person, their history and the things that reassure them. For those with a sensory impairment, we think carefully about lighting, sound and how we approach somebody. Families are welcome here at any reasonable time and we keep in touch with them honestly rather than waiting for a crisis. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care locally, please arrange to visit, meet the team and take your time over the decision.

- Care Home
Farmhouse Residential Rest Home is a care home in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire. We provide a permanent home for adults with a range of needs, and we aim for a household where people are known properly rather than managed efficiently. Most of the people living here receive residential care. We help with personal care, medication, meals, mobility and company, and we bring in community health professionals when something more clinical is needed. We support residents living with dementia, where familiar staff and a routine that does not shift about are the things that genuinely help. We also support adults with a learning disability or autism, adults living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment, which means adapting how we communicate and how we assist person by person rather than running one approach for everybody. We support younger adults as well, and we do not assume their interests or routines match those of our older residents. Respite stays are available, giving family carers a real break and allowing somebody to try the home before making a permanent decision. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please visit on an ordinary day, speak to the people who live here and form your own impression of the place.

Arranging and funding a dementia care home place in Newcastle under Lyme
Money and process tend to be the parts families postpone, yet settling them early makes every later conversation with a home easier. Before fees come into view, almost every placement begins with an assessment of what a person actually needs, and that document shapes both the funding question and the shortlist.
The Care Needs Assessment
An assessment of need is worth requesting even where a family fully expects to pay for care itself, because it gives you an independent written account of the support required that you can take to each home. You can arrange one through Staffordshire County Council Adult Social Care, which holds the statutory duty to assess anyone who appears to need care and support and to commission funded places for people who qualify. A financial assessment follows as a separate exercise, looking at income, savings and any property. Anyone caring unpaid for a relative is entitled to an assessment of their own needs alongside it.
What A Place Is Likely To Cost
Fees vary between these six homes according to the size of room, how much support a resident needs and whether the place is privately funded or commissioned, so ask every home for a written schedule rather than a single weekly figure. Establish what falls outside that figure, since hairdressing, chiropody and escorted appointments are routinely billed on top. Where the council funds a place it contributes up to its own agreed rate, and a family choosing a home that charges more may be asked for a top up payment, best agreed in writing before anyone moves. Residents whose dementia comes with substantial clinical needs may also qualify for a National Health Service contribution through continuing healthcare, assessed under a different process.
Choosing between dementia care homes in Newcastle under Lyme
Looking Past An Even Set Of Ratings
When every home on a list is rated Good, the rating stops being a filter and the reports become the useful material. Open each one and look at where inspectors found particular strength, whether in involving families, in activity or in the handling of medicines, and note the date of the visit, because a judgement made several years ago may predate a change of manager. Ask on your visit what has changed since inspectors were last there.
The Questions That Separate One Home From Another
Staffing decides the quality of dementia care, so ask how many carers are on shift in the middle of the afternoon, how many have completed dementia specific training and how long the team has worked together. Consider the building from the point of view of someone easily disorientated: short well lit corridors, contrasting colours at doorways, a garden that can be reached freely and a quiet room away from the main lounge. Ask what happens when a resident becomes distressed in the early evening, and listen for an answer about reassurance and routine. Ask too how the home supports people whose dementia advances, and whether a move elsewhere becomes likely as needs increase.
Frequently asked questions about dementia care homes in Newcastle under Lyme
How many dementia care homes are there in Newcastle under Lyme?
Newcastle under Lyme has 6 CQC registered care homes that are registered for dementia care, out of 13 CQC registered care homes in Newcastle under Lyme: 6 Good. Counts come from the CQC register and are kept up to date as ratings change.
Which dementia care homes in Newcastle under Lyme were inspected most recently?
Farmhouse Residential Rest Home (5 May 2026), The Maples Residential Home (14 May 2022) and Florence House (14 May 2022) have the most recent CQC reports.
Can the council pay towards a dementia care home place?
Staffordshire County Council may fund a placement where its assessment confirms that residential care is the right option and a financial assessment shows capital and income below the national thresholds. Support is often partial rather than total, with the resident paying a contribution from income while the council covers the balance. Where a family prefers a home charging more than the council will meet, a third party top up may be requested and should be confirmed in writing first. Anyone with significant nursing needs alongside dementia should also ask about National Health Service continuing healthcare, which follows its own assessment route.
How is a care needs assessment arranged here?
Approach the adult social care team at Staffordshire County Council, which must assess anyone appearing to need care and support whatever their financial position. The assessor looks at what the person manages independently, where they need help and what matters to them, usually meeting them at home or on a hospital ward. You may make the request for a relative with their consent, and if you care for them unpaid you can ask for a separate assessment of your own needs. Ask for a written copy once it is complete, because it answers much of what each home will want to know.
How far ahead should the search start?
Start earlier than feels necessary, while your relative is still able to express a view about where they would like to live. With six homes offering dementia care in Newcastle under Lyme, the particular room you want may not be free at the moment you need it, so allow a couple of months if circumstances permit. An early start also lets you visit twice, at different times of day, and see a home on an ordinary afternoon rather than a tidied one. When a move follows a hospital discharge the decision can compress into days, which is why a shortlist prepared in advance matters so much.
Which providers in Newcastle under Lyme offer dementia care?
Six residential care homes in Newcastle under Lyme are registered to support people living with dementia, and all of them are listed on this page. They include Hempstalls Hall Care Home, Florence House, The Maples Residential Home and Farmhouse Residential Rest Home, alongside supported accommodation run by a housing association. Each entry links to a profile showing the current rating and the most recent inspection findings. A list of this size is small enough to work through in full rather than narrowing on paper first.
What should I ask when visiting one of these homes?
Ask who will be caring for your relative overnight and at weekends, what dementia training those staff hold, and how long the current manager has been in the role. Find out how often care plans are reviewed and how the home tells families about a fall, a new medication or a change in mood. Ask to see the room actually on offer rather than a presentation room, and call in near a mealtime so you can judge whether support feels unhurried. Pay close attention to how staff address residents who cannot easily reply, which reveals more than any answer you are given.
What is the difference between a dementia care home and a dementia nursing home?
A dementia care home provides somewhere to live, personal care and support with daily routines such as washing, dressing, meals and prompting medication, with district nurses visiting when a health need arises. A dementia nursing home employs registered nurses on site around the clock and can therefore manage ongoing clinical care, including wound care, assisted feeding and complicated medication regimes. Every provider on this page is a residential care home rather than a nursing home. If a relative already has considerable health needs on top of dementia, discuss that with the assessor before you start arranging visits.
