Live-In Care in Stoke-on-Trent
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Stoke-on-Trent, across all six towns from Tunstall to Longton. A trained, DBS-checked carer settles into your relative’s house and stays there, so the Saturday match, the canal towpath and the chat over the garden fence are all still possible. One person is always around, and a first conversation with us places you under no obligation.
Should your relative be on a ward at Royal Stoke University Hospital, please tell us as soon as discharge is mentioned. The Hartshill hospital is a Major Trauma Centre with 1,328 beds, and its buildings, finished in August 2012 at a cost of £370 million, are run by the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust. Dates move quickly there, so we speak to the ward early and have the house aired, the kettle on and the first evening planned before the ambulance turns into the street.
A trip to the shops can swallow an afternoon once the knees give in. Call us on 0208 129 5854 and we will go through the options with you, no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Stoke-on-Trent: Bottle Kilns, Canal Towpaths and Six Towns
Think of a man of eighty-two who fired a bottle oven as a young lad and has never forgotten the heat of it. His carer drives him to the Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton, where a pottery has stood since 1787, and where the kilns are among the fewer than fifty bottle ovens that survive in the city. He stands under the brick cone for a long minute, then starts to explain the firing to the carer, in order, down to the last brick. On the way home he asks whether they could come again after Easter.
If a day like that would mean something to your relative, ring us and we can talk about a free assessment visit.
A day out only works because the ordinary days around it run smoothly, so here is how a live-in carer looks after your relative from the first cuppa to the last tablet at night.
Start of the Day
Washing and dressing are done as slowly as your relative likes, then comes a proper breakfast. Because the carer lives in the house, there is no waiting for someone to turn up and no worry about a doorbell that goes unanswered.
Out for the Afternoon
Burslem Park opened in 1894 to a design by Thomas Mawson and is one of the largest registered Victorian parks in the country. The carer takes a rug and a flask, finds a bench in the sun and walks only as far as your relative wants.
Medication and Hospital Visits
Tablets are given on time and written up each day. For a clinic at Royal Stoke University Hospital, or an appointment nearer home, the carer goes too, helps your relative follow what is said and gives the family a clear report.
Proper Dinners
Cooking follows both the doctor’s advice and your relative’s tastes, so a favourite old supper or a plain bit of fish is possible. A shopping trip into Hanley, where the Potteries Shopping Centre and the bus station that opened in 2013 can be found, makes a change from the corner shop.
Waterside Walks
Westport Lake at Longport is the city’s largest stretch of open water, and the carer can pick a firm path and a bench with a view. In bad weather, the Potteries Museum in Hanley has a Spitfire on display and the Staffordshire Hoard, shown there since February 2010.
Safe on Steep Stairs
The carer stays beside your relative on every flight of stairs and every bathroom visit, clears the floor of anything to trip on and reports to the family quickly if a staircase begins to look too much.

Why Care from NeeryVille Suits Stoke-on-Trent Families
Look for live-in care in Stoke-on-Trent and the first pages mostly promise help without saying much about the city. Of the four we opened, one gave a weekly price, one pointed readers to a costs page, one gave no figure at all and one was a directory of agencies. Only the directory named Royal Stoke University Hospital, none linked the city council’s adult care route, and one answered a question about local areas with villages near Loughborough. Ours states the daily rate, names the hospital and the council, and puts one employed carer in the home. The reasons Stoke-on-Trent families choose us follow.
One carer, not a rota
Anyone can feel the difference between being looked after by a stranger and by someone who knows how you take your tea. The carer learns the routine, the favourite chair and the programme to leave on, so your relative is understood rather than managed.
Our same-carer approach is built round that, and it is most valuable with dementia, when a familiar face at the table is a fixed point in a confusing day.
Stop in 14 days with nothing to pay
If the care does not feel right at any stage in the first 14 days, it can end at once, without notice and without a fee.
This is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, so a Stoke-on-Trent family can try live-in care knowing there is a way out.
Employed by us
NeeryVille Care is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Every carer is employed, trained and supervised by us, not introduced as self-employed, and anyone is free to check our registration on the CQC website before choosing.
Clinically led
All placements follow a clinical governance framework led by experienced clinicians, which keeps care for dementia, Parkinson’s disease or stroke recovery steady from week to week.
In the house in two days
A discharge from Royal Stoke University Hospital can be moved forward with little warning. After we have met, a matched carer is generally in the house within 24 to 48 hours, so 24 hour care in Stoke-on-Trent need not wait for a quieter week. Call early and we can plan that first evening with you.
Supervised by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care and specialist dementia training, and he supervises each placement personally. When you ring, you will speak to him or a member of his team.
Still have questions about whether NeeryVille is the right fit for your family?

We will listen to your situation, answer every question you have and give you the time you need to make the right decision.

Signs a Stoke-on-Trent Parent May Need a Live-In Carer
Nobody wakes up one morning and decides. A live-in carer becomes a sensible thought when help is needed all day and all night, yet your parent will not hear of leaving the house.
Take a widower of eighty-eight in a house near Burslem, home from Royal Stoke University Hospital after a fall on the cellar steps. He has ordered no shopping, he sleeps in the armchair because the bedroom is upstairs, and the post is piling up behind the door. His daughter, who lives two hours away, hears nothing on the phone but that he is grand. A carer who sleeps in the house can cook, guide him upstairs and open the post with him. Ring us before the next fall, not after.
At the first visit we ask what a good day used to look like for him, and that becomes the plan.
If you are the one who is tired from driving up and down the motorway, live-in respite care in Stoke-on-Trent gives you a few nights of unbroken sleep while someone your parent trusts holds the fort.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Stoke-on-Trent
Our live-in carers in Stoke-on-Trent support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, across the six towns and the rest of the city.
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Staying Together: Couples in Stoke-on-Trent
Picture a husband and wife who met at a dance in Hanley. He was a kiln fireman for forty years and now has Parkinson’s disease, and she has begun to lose track of whether she has taken her tablets. They have lived in the same house since the sixties and refuse to be separated.
One live-in carer can help him on the stairs and at mealtimes, remind her of her medicines and keep them both company in the evening. Ask us how one arrangement could suit them both.

Why Stoke-on-Trent Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
For someone who has watched the kilns of Stoke-on-Trent come and go, the best thing about live-in care is that the front door, the street and the Saturday habits stay exactly as they are.
The city was federated from six towns in 1910 and made a city in 1925. Wedgwood opened Etruria in 1766, the canal was complete by 1777, and Spode introduced bone china in 1796. A person who has lived with that heritage around them deserves to keep looking at it.
At home your relative keeps their own bed and their own pace. One carer moves in and learns the small routines, so the same face is there at breakfast and at bedtime, and a couple can remain together under one roof with a single carer helping both.
Older houses with steep stairs are tiring to manage alone, and after a stay at Royal Stoke University Hospital the same carer is there at the door to help with stairs, shopping and short outings.
If you would like to talk over what could work for your family, call us on 0208 129 5854. Questions are welcome and there is no obligation.
Live-In Care in Stoke-on-Trent: One Daily Price of £190
Here is the figure, with no search needed.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Stoke-on-Trent starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
After our visit we write your exact figure down for you, so you can think it over before agreeing.
What the Daily Price Includes
A week in the city could begin with a morning at Middleport Pottery, built in 1888 beside the canal, continue with a seat in Burslem Park, and end with a drive past Vale Park on match day. The daily price buys a carer who lives in the house and is on call through the night, helps with washing and dressing, cooks proper meals, gives and records medication, steadies your relative on the stairs and goes to appointments with them.
Needs that go beyond this, such as dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple or recovery after an operation, are costed individually once we have spoken. Tell us about the situation and we will give you a straight answer.
Paying for Care at Home in Stoke-on-Trent
Please phone us first, because we can look at the funding picture with you before you spend anything. NHS Continuing Healthcare is also worth asking about, since it can pay for care when the main need is medical.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council runs an online self-assessment, and its front door team takes calls on 0800 561 0015 from 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and until 4.30pm on Friday. Residents aged 18 or over can ask there for an assessment of care and support needs.
For benefits and pensions, the Age UK Advice Line is free on 0800 678 1602, from 8am to 7pm every day of the year. If memory is the concern, Dementia Connect North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent is run by Alzheimer’s Society on 0333 150 3456 and helps people with dementia and their families.
Care can start while applications are still being processed, so there is no need to wait for a decision.

How It Works: Live-In Care in Stoke-on-Trent
Plenty of people say that dialling the number was the hard bit. From there it is four simple steps.
01
Make the call
Nothing has to be ready before you ring.
The line is answered by Daniel Johnson or one of the care team, on 0208 129 5854.
Tell us how things are at home and we will talk the choices through, without pressure or paperwork.
Helping a family set up live-in care is part of the working day for whoever answers.
03
We hear their story
We ask what the potbanks and the city meant to them. It might be the years on a saggar-maker’s bench, a shift at Hanley Deep Pit, which closed in 1962, or a summer day at the Garden Festival in 1986, when Festival Park was laid out at Etruria.
All of it goes into the care plan, and the carer raises it when your relative would like it. Whenever you are ready, call us.
We pick the right carer
Experience is matched to the medical needs and personality to the person, so the newcomer fits in without fuss.
The 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee gives you a fortnight to decide.
02
04
The carer settles in
Most carers start a day or two after our visit, sooner if a hospital has set a date.
If your relative is still at Royal Stoke University Hospital, we fit the carer’s first day to the ward’s timetable.
You have one person to speak to from the first call until things have settled.
Phone today and a carer could be on the doorstep within a day or two. If the ward has already given a leaving date, tell us and we work backwards from it.
The free assessment is carried out in person by our Registered Care Manager, who rings again once the carer has moved in. Live-in care is our whole business, which is why your enquiry goes to people who do this every day.

Neeryville Care - Compassionate Home Care You Can Trust
Live-In Care in Stoke-on-Trent: Questions Families Put to Us
How much does live-in care in Stoke-on-Trent cost?
Live-in care in Stoke-on-Trent costs £190 per day, fully inclusive, from NeeryVille Care, and no extras are added afterwards. Your exact figure is put in writing once we have met, before you commit to anything.
How quickly can live-in care start in Stoke-on-Trent?
Once we have met, a carer can often be living in within a day or two, including when the request comes from Royal Stoke University Hospital. All it takes to begin is one phone call.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. At home, with one carer who knows the routine, a person with dementia has less to puzzle over each day. Dementia Connect North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent offers support to the person and their family.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
Only your family can say. Living at home keeps the familiar bed and surroundings and lets husband and wife stay together. We go through the practical side with you before anything is agreed.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
When the regular carer is sick or away, a cover carer is arranged, so your relative is never left on their own.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and you can read our entry on the CQC provider page.
Which areas of Stoke-on-Trent do you cover?
We cover the whole city: Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton, along with Middleport, Etruria, Hartshill, Longport and Dresden.
Do you offer respite care in Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes, we offer respite care in Stoke-on-Trent. If you care for someone and need a proper rest, a live-in carer can come for a short stay of days or for several weeks.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. When your relative leaves Royal Stoke University Hospital the carer can already be at the house, with the heating on and the first meal ready.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
In the first 14 days you can stop the care straight away if it is not right, with no notice period and no charge.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. Stoke-on-Trent City Council may be able to assess your relative’s needs, NHS Continuing Healthcare may apply, and the Age UK Advice Line gives free advice on benefits.
Can a live-in carer take my father to the Gladstone Pottery Museum?
Yes. The museum in Longton keeps bottle kilns, an engine house and a saggar-making workshop, and the buildings were saved from demolition in 1970 before the museum opened in 1974. The carer checks opening times first, then plans a gentle route with a seat.
Is it realistic to visit the Spitfire and the Staffordshire Hoard in Hanley with my mother?
The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery shows both, the Hoard since February 2010 and the Spitfire in a gallery reopened in September 2021. Ring ahead for current opening times. The carer can pick a quiet time and an easy route.
Where can my wife with memory loss get advice in Stoke-on-Trent?
Dementia Connect North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent is run by Alzheimer’s Society on 0333 150 3456, open weekdays and at weekends. The city council also lists Marrow House, its integrated dementia centre. A live-in carer can go with her to any appointment.
