Greenfield House

Greenfields House, Leek ST13 6LQ — 10 beds, run by Staffordshire County Council.

Dementia care 10 beds Registered 15.7 years

We do not yet have Staffordshire Council’s published rates, so we are not going to guess what this home costs.

Other sites will show you a national average here. It would be a number with nothing behind it, and it would not help you negotiate. We have asked Staffordshire Council for its 2026/27 rates under the Freedom of Information Act, and this section fills in when they answer.

Until then, the surest way to find out is to ask the home directly what it charges today — and whether that figure is due to rise in April.

How the inspectors rated it

Requires improvement

The Care Quality Commission rated Greenfield House Requires improvement when it last published an assessment, in November 2023.

This one is recent — 2.7 years old, so it is a fair picture of the home as it is now. Still worth asking whether the manager has changed since.

What the same operator runs elsewhere

Staffordshire County Council runs 3 care homes for older people in England. Of the 3 carrying a published CQC rating, 2 are rated Good or Outstanding, 1 require improvement.

A pattern across an operator’s homes tells you something a single inspection cannot. It is a fair question to put to the manager: what has changed across the group since those inspections?

Every line comes from the CQC register, not from the home. If something is wrong, tell us and we will check it against the register.

Ask them what a room costs today

Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask Greenfield House directly, then send you the reply. We are paid nothing if you move in, so we have no reason to push you here or anywhere else.

Ask about fees

Would the council pay towards this?

Whether you pay all of it, some of it or none of it turns on savings, income and whether a property would be left empty. Our calculator applies the 2026/27 means test and tells you the weekly figure.

Where to get advice you can rely on

We publish prices and register data. We are not an advice service, and for the decisions that follow these are the sources worth your time — all free, none of them selling you anything.

Age UK — Paying for a care home The clearest free explanation of the means test, the 12-week property disregard and deferred payment agreements. Their factsheet 10 goes further than almost anything else published. GOV.UK — charging circular, 2026/27 The primary source for this year’s figures: capital limits held again at £23,250 and £14,250, and the personal expenses allowance uprated by 3.8%. NHS — paying for your own care Written for people who will not qualify for council help: whether a home has to be sold, what equity release really involves, and which benefits are not means-tested. MoneyHelper — ways to pay care home fees Government-backed and impartial. Also explains what a specialist care fees adviser does and when paying for one is worth it. Care Act 2014 — statutory guidance What councils are actually obliged to do. Annex A covers choice of accommodation and top-up payments, the part families are most often talked past. Care Quality Commission The regulator itself. Every rating here comes from its public register, and the full inspection report is always worth reading rather than the headline word alone.
