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. ?
Rowan Court Care Home is one of 268 care homes in Staffordshire: a 76-bed nursing home in Newcastle Under Lyme, run by Avery Homes (Nelson) Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Staffordshire has 28 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In December 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in November 2018, it was rated Requires improvement. 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).
It is one of 17 homes run by Avery Homes (Nelson) Limited. 14 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 133 other homes in Staffordshire share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in April 2026. That is true of 85% of homes in Staffordshire.
