Residential care home · Newcastle
22 Knutton Road, Newcastle ST5 0HU — 39 beds, run by Samuel Hobson House Limited.
Staffordshire does not set a standard rate for care home placements, so there is no council figure to compare this home against.
Staffordshire states plainly that it has not set rates for care home placements for several years. Every placement is negotiated individually. Its own cost of care work found a gap of 30% for residential and 49% for standard nursing between median fees and the average cost of new placements.
Source: Staffordshire County Council, Fair Cost of Care report; we last checked it on 11 August 2026. We publish this as a finding rather than a gap: the absence of a rate is itself information, and most comparison sites show a modelled number here instead.
The Care Quality Commission rated Samuel Hobson House Good when it last published an assessment, in December 2023.

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.
Distances are straight-line from the registered address — useful for working out who could visit easily, which matters more than most things on this page.
The list above is by distance alone. This one keeps only homes whose rating is both good and recent — the two things a rating needs to be worth much.
Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask Samuel Hobson 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 feesWhether 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. See also how council funding works and what happens when the money runs out.
We publish prices and register data, not advice. For the decisions that follow, these are free and impartial.
