Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 5 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Farmhouse Residential Rest Home is in the Good tier ?, with 133 other homes in Staffordshire.
78% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Farmhouse Residential Rest Home is one of 268 care homes in Staffordshire: a 23-bed residential care home in Newcastle Under Lyme, run by Loomer Medical Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
Across Staffordshire, 78% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2026. 85% of homes in Staffordshire also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In May 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from December 2017. The typical rating in Staffordshire is about 5 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC found some shortfalls in “treating people as individuals”, one of 5 standards out of 33 scored below good.
