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. ?
Oaklea House is one of 268 care homes in Staffordshire: a 12-bed residential care home in Stoke-On-Trent, run by Every Sensation Care Ltd. CQC registers it to look after 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. That is smaller than most homes in Staffordshire, where the typical home has 28 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 4 homes run by Every Sensation Care Ltd. 3 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. In Staffordshire, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in September 2025. In Staffordshire, 85% of homes score 5.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in October 2019. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from March 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Staffordshire, 51% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
