🌿 Welcome to Kirk House Nursing & Residential Home

At Kirk House we provide more than just a place to live — we offer genuine care, comfort, and community.

Our residents enjoy nutritious, home-cooked meals prepared fresh every day in our own kitchen. We take pride in catering to individual tastes and dietary needs, making mealtimes a moment of enjoyment, nutrition, and social connection.

Our home is run by Stacey, an experienced hands-on manager on behalf of Uttoxeter and District Old People’s Housing Society Limited, a not-for-profit organisation. Her compassionate leadership ensures that each resident receives personalised support, and that the home remains a calm, well-organised, and nurturing place to live.

What truly sets us apart is the continuity of care delivered by our dedicated, long-standing staff team. Many of our carers and nurses have been part of Kirk House for years, building real relationships with residents and creating a warm, reassuring atmosphere of familiarity and trust. Families often tell us how much they value seeing the same friendly faces each day.

We are proud to be rated 'Good' in all areas by the CQC, demonstrating our commitment to safety, dignity, and high standard of care.
