My daughter and I visited The Potteries in June 2025 and I knew from the outset that this would be the home of my choice for my husband. I liked the spacious ground floor entrance, the friendliness of the staff and on listening as to how the dementia residents are cared for, I felt at ease. I felt that whilst, at first, things may be difficult once settled, all would be well. My husband became a resident in July 2025 and with the care, kindness and understanding shown to him in those first few weeks settled far better than I had anticipated . From the very outset I felt "at home", and that I could talk to any member of staff about any concerns that I may have regarding my husband. My husband has now been a resident at The Potteries for eight months during which time the care that he has received has been exceptional, the activities and the one to one sessions provided by the lifestyle team are amazing and that we can now, once more, enjoy our time together as husband and wife.

My mother has been a resident at The Potteries for over three years and I am pleased with the care she receives. Mum is physically disabled but mentally agile; it's reassuring to see her needs considered and supported - this is routinely reflected in her cheerful disposition. The staff are kind and patient, and willing to answer questions, quickly sort any issues, and will often go 'a step beyond'. The Potteries is welcoming and clean, and the family is reassured that mum is in the best hands: safe, well cared for, and happy.

It's reassuring to see that Mum is comfortable, well looked after and supported with her individual needs. The team work hard in what can be a demanding environment, and their dedication shows in the way they interact with residents.
The home itself is clean and welcoming, and there is a friendly atmosphere when we visit. We appreciate the efforts made to keep Mum engaged in inclusive activities.
We feel Mum is in good hands and are grateful for the support provided to her and to us as a family.

Dad was fussy with food and they made sure they changed his menu to suit his likes and dislikes each day, so he always had foods he wanted.
The activities were always fun and engaging and dad enjoyed being there to take it all in.
Rooms are big and well equipped.
Having nurses on hand was great for him too.
Was a shame he had to go home.

I began my social care career as a carer and worked my way up. That’s given me a very helpful perspective and understanding of what my team does. Even now, I’m always ready to roll up my sleeves and help if the need arises.
I believe that effective care is personalised care. Our team gets to know each resident well. We know what they enjoy doing, and we help them to continue to experience those things.
It’s also vital to keep up-to-date with developments in care so that we can bring benefits to residents. We recently took delivery of a Tovertafel, or ‘magic table’, which uses the latest technology to enable residents to play simple, fun interactive games, either on their own or with others. The tables have proven benefits: helping people who are living with dementia to develop their communication and cognitive skills and mobility.
