4 of 5 CQC domains rated Good or Outstanding

Only 6 extra care housing in Stoke-on-trent currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, so this list is shorter than ten. We would rather show a short honest list than pad it out.

How this ranking was built

  1. Overall CQC rating. Outstanding ranks above Good.
  2. Domain strength. How many of the five inspection domains, safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, are rated Good or Outstanding.
  3. Recency. A more recently published rating carries more weight, because it reflects the service closer to how it is now.

Showing 6 of 6 extra care housing in Stoke-on-trent that currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, out of 8 registered in total. Services with no published rating are excluded: newly registered services often have none, and no rating is not a poor rating.

About extra care housing in Stoke-on-trent

Extra care housing, sometimes called assisted living or housing with care, gives you your own self-contained home within a scheme where care staff are on site around the clock.

It fills the gap between managing at home with visiting carers and moving into a care home.

What a scheme usually has

  • Self-contained flats or bungalows, rented or bought
  • Care staff on site 24 hours a day
  • Communal facilities: a restaurant, lounge, laundry, sometimes a hairdresser or gym
  • Accessible design throughout, with level access and wet rooms
  • An alarm or telecare system in every home
  • Organised activities

Who it suits

People who want to keep their independence and their own front door, but who need care available quickly and reliably. It works particularly well for couples with different levels of need, who can stay together rather than one moving into a care home.

How the money works

Housing costs and care costs are separate, as in supported living.

Housing: rent and service charges, potentially met through Housing Benefit or the housing element of Universal Credit. If you buy, you pay a service charge.

Care: assessed and charged through the council means test, or paid privately.

What to ask

  • What care is included in the service charge, and what is charged on top?
  • How quickly do staff respond to an alarm at 3am?
  • What happens if my needs increase substantially? Can I stay?
  • Are there eligibility criteria, such as a minimum assessed need?
  • What are the service charges, and how much have they risen recently?

Extra care housing in Stoke-on-trent: common questions

How many extra care housing are there in Stoke-on-trent?

8 CQC-registered extra care housing have a registered office in Stoke-on-trent, West Midlands. Of those, 6 currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, which is the pool this ranking is drawn from.

Who pays for extra care housing in Stoke-on-trent?

That depends on your finances, not your postcode. Above £23,250 in capital you normally pay the full cost. Below £14,250 your capital is ignored. Your council carries out the financial assessment, and NHS Continuing Healthcare pays in full where needs are primarily health needs. 2026/27 thresholds for England.

Does a Good rating mean the service is good today?

It means it was rated Good at the last inspection, and the gap between inspections can run to years. Use the rating as a starting point, read the full report, and visit in person before deciding.

What is extra care housing?

Self-contained flats or bungalows, usually in a scheme with communal facilities, where care staff are on site around the clock. You have your own front door and tenancy or ownership, with care arranged separately according to your assessed needs.

How is it different from sheltered housing?

Sheltered housing typically has a scheme manager and an alarm system but no on-site care team. Extra care housing has care staff on site 24 hours a day, so it supports higher and changing needs.

Carevo does not inspect or endorse services. CQC ratings change between inspections. Check the current rating on the CQC website and read the full report before deciding.
