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. ?
Run by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, The Meadows is a residential care home in Stoke On Trent, Stoke-on-Trent with 16 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2025. 97% of homes in Stoke-on-Trent also score 5. Across Stoke-on-Trent, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Stoke-on-Trent City Council runs 2 care homes, and all 2 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In October 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in January 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 56% of homes in Stoke-on-Trent. Here is how rating age varies by council.
