Staffordshire in numbers
73% of Staffordshire’s CQC-rated care homes are rated Good or Outstanding, below the England average of 79%, with 2 rated Outstanding. Based on 126 rated homes; England figure from CQC State of Care (2024/25).
The average residential care home in Staffordshire costs about £1,030/week, while Staffordshire’s published usual rate is around £941/week (2025). If the council funds care, expect a likely top-up of about £89/week (about £4,628/year), usually paid by a relative or friend. An estimate: councils fund care only below the means-test threshold, and fees vary by home, room and needs.

How we grade areas
Grades are relative, comparing this area against others of the same type across the UK. Amenity grades are based on OpenStreetMap counts within a fixed radius. The Safety & Peace grade ranks recorded anti-social behaviour and public-disorder incidents (the offences most relevant to a quiet neighbourhood) — per head of population where ONS figures are available, otherwise by count. Scottish towns are graded against other Scottish towns, from Police Scotland’s 12-month figures for the council wards they sit in, per head of those wards’ population (National Records of Scotland). Figures are estimates to aid research, not a substitute for visiting an area.

Is Staffordshire a good retirement location?
Read our guide to living in Staffordshire
Staffordshire has a notably higher share of over-65s than the national average, suggesting it's a well-established area for later-life living. With 24 care homes offering a genuine range of sizes and mostly good CQC ratings, it suits people who want reasonable choice without an intensely urban setting. Families should check specific local amenities close to any home under consideration.
Health & support
- Medical access: Everyday amenities data shows a mix of local facilities, though specific GP, pharmacy or hospital distances should be checked for the exact area within the county.
- Safety: Recorded crime of 13 offences in a month, most commonly violent crime, anti-social behaviour and burglary, points to a generally quiet picture for a county this size.
- Family & connection: Worth weighing how far family and existing support networks are from any specific Staffordshire town, since the county covers a wide, varied area.
Finances & daily life
- Cost of care: Specific weekly fee figures aren't available here, but the broad range of home sizes (33–112 beds) suggests options across different budgets worth comparing directly.
- Transport: Staffordshire is a largely rural and semi-rural county, so a car is likely useful for getting between towns, though larger settlements have local bus links.
- Housing options: 24 care homes are listed, ranging from smaller 33-bed settings to larger 112-bed homes, giving reasonable choice in scale and setting.
Lifestyle & environment
- Green space & hobbies: Public parks, playing fields, a tennis court and play space feature among local amenities, supporting an active, outdoors-friendly lifestyle.
- Community: Pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes nearby point to everyday opportunities for social contact and local community life.
- Climate: As with the wider West Midlands, Staffordshire has a typical temperate UK climate — mild summers, cool winters and regular rainfall.
Things to weigh up
- CQC mix: Of the 24 homes, 7 are rated requires improvement and 2 are not yet inspected, so it's worth checking a specific home's rating before deciding.
- Rural spread: The county's rural character means transport and amenity access can vary a lot depending on exactly where a home is located.
