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. ?
The home changed owner in June 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
WT HI OpCo 1 Limited runs Branston Court Care Home, a nursing home in Burton-On-Trent, Staffordshire with room for 45 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. Most homes in Staffordshire are smaller: the median there is 28 beds.
In May 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its previous rating, in April 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Staffordshire, 51% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. That is true of 85% of homes in Staffordshire. In Staffordshire, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The home changed owner in June 2026. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. It is one of 34 homes run by WT HI OpCo 1 Limited. 29 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
