CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Barton House Nursing Home is in the Good tier ?, with 133 other homes in Staffordshire.
78% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Barton House Nursing Home is one of 268 care homes in Staffordshire: a 15-bed nursing home in Cannock, run by Barton House Care Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Staffordshire has 28 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in April 2019. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in June 2016. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 51% of ratings in Staffordshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from December 2025. That is true of 85% of homes in Staffordshire. Across Staffordshire, 78% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 4 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
