Croft Residential Home is a warm, domestic-scale care home in the Stapenhill suburb of Burton-on-Trent, providing residential and specialist dementia care to up to 30 people. Rated Good by the Care Quality Commission (December 2019), Croft has built a strong local reputation for its open, welcoming culture and the deep commitment of its long-serving team.
Croft is now part of the RDCP Care Group. The sister home, The Poplars Nursing and Residential Home, is located just over a mile away in Burton-on-Trent, and together the two homes provide a complete residential and nursing care pathway for families in Staffordshire.
Two things set Croft apart from every other residential care home in Burton-on-Trent: an unconditional pet-friendly policy and an open-door visiting culture. Residents are welcome to bring their beloved pets with them when they move in, and families can visit at any time of day or night without booking in advance. These are not small things. For many families, they are the deciding factor.
Croft is a genuinely intimate home. At 30 beds, it is small enough to feel like a family but large enough to offer a full programme of activities, community outings, and regular entertainment. Residents visit Stapenhill Gardens, Burton Library, local garden centres, and the town centre, and the home's links with Burton College, Edge Hill Primary School, Teapots community group, and Stapenhill Church keep residents connected to the wider community.
For families in Stapenhill, Burton-on-Trent, Swadlincote, and across East Staffordshire looking for residential or dementia care with genuine warmth and a no-restrictions visiting policy, Croft offers outstanding quality at fees from approximately £1,100 per week.

My mum had to go into Croft Care Home earlier this year, due to worsening dementia. She has settled wonderfully, the staff have been patient and caring, and she is much happier and calmer. She has made new friends and very much enjoys the meals and entertainment. I am so pleased with the Croft and all of its staff, they have made the transition so easy for my mum and her family. Thank you to all.

This is a fantastic care home, my mum has been in the home for the last 4 years after the difficult decision was made of having to find a home for her due to her failing health. From day one the staff from the manager down to the ladies who do the cleaning have been very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. All the resident's needs are catered for, the home is very clean and the meals are freshly prepared and home cooked every day. Just before Christmas mum was not very well and confined to bed but the care and support and love she received from the staff was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble and they were always popping into mums room to check she was ok. I feel this care is the reason we still have mum and I would highly recommend the home to anyone who asks me.
I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the staff for everything they do to ensure the residents are cared for and treated with respect.

I started my journey in care at 18 years old as a Healthcare Assistant. From the beginning, I gained hands-on experience supporting residents with their daily needs and building meaningful relationships with them and their families. Over time, I’ve developed my skills and confidence, learning how to provide compassionate, person-centred care while supporting both residents and those close to them.
I was inspired to work in care because I wanted to make a positive difference in people’s lives. What I enjoy most about my role is knowing that even small actions can have a big impact—whether that’s helping someone through their day, offering comfort, or simply making them smile. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of something that truly matters.
My key strengths include building strong relationships, being patient and compassionate, and working well as part of a team. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure each person is treated with dignity and respect. I’m also keen to keep learning and developing my skills.
My approach is caring, respectful, and person-centred. I take the time to understand each individual’s needs, preferences, and routines so they feel comfortable and valued. I also believe in clear communication and teamwork, supporting my colleagues and keeping families informed and reassured.
A value I live by is treating everyone with kindness and respect. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and taking time to relax and recharge, which helps me stay positive and bring my best self to work every day.
