Horse Fair Care Home in Rugeley is a well-established community of elderly residents from across Staffordshire. We offer residential care and respite care for those seeking support, as well as a dedicated suite in which we offer the highest quality dementia care in Rugeley. Couples and companions are warmly welcomed in our home where their well-being, comfort, and happiness are our top priority.
Our location in the centre of the town means that local amenities are close by and our connection with local volunteer groups assures a respected place within the Rugeley community.
We make a point of celebrating the lives of our residents who all have a stake in the direction of life within our care home. Families and friends are encouraged to give us their views too and, more formally, can join one of our committees. It is by concentrating on the residents in a holistic way that we get the best out of them and offer the best residential, dementia and respite care in Rugeley.
We are minds as well as bodies, and to that end we have an energetic recreation and leisure team who devise a wide programme of activities and social engagements for residents and families.
Bedrooms are of generous proportions, come with en-suite, walk-in showers and flat-screen TVs. Our housekeepers keep the rooms in beautiful order and will always make sure that any personal ornaments and keepsakes are carefully dusted!
Our Butterfly Café is just one of the spots where residents enjoy the companionship of others over a cup of tea. There are a good variety of lounges to choose from too, some where clubs and societies meet, and others where you can just be quiet and enjoy a daily newspaper or magazine.
To see what we get up to at Horse Fair head over to our dedicated Facebook page. Here we share updates on all the activities and goings on in our Rugeley care home. You are also welcome to call our friendly care team if you have any questions or would like to arrange to come in and get to know us.
Our full-time Activity Coordinators ensure that residents can enjoy their days to the full. We are lucky in that we have a grand piano, and there is nothing we like better than having a good old singsong.
Want to know what else we get up to at Horse Fair Care Home in Rugeley?
Residents are free to come and go as they please and the town centre is only a few minutes’ walk away from our Rugeley care home. But we also love organising trips out in the minibus, taking our residents on excursions further afield across Staffordshire.
In the warmer months, residents make great use of the outside patio area, which is completely enclosed for privacy, a perfect place for outdoor exercise, or just a nice cup of tea. This area includes a brand-new sensory garden, designed to provide a variety of sensory stimuli with its aromatic plants.
Popular among our activities are the reminiscence sessions in which residents look back over the years and discuss major historical events both on a local and international scale. They very much enjoy remembering where they were at key times, and we often find friendships forming and strengthening over shared memories during these sessions. This is very popular with our residents who live with dementia, and it’s just one of the reasons we believe we offer some of the best dementia care in Rugeley.
We know how important it is for our residents to keep in touch with family and friends, that’s why we provide free Wi-Fi throughout the home. Computers are available for Skype, email, or just browsing. Don’t forget to visit our Facebook pages!
Family members are welcome at any time. This means we often enjoy the company of guests for dinner, so, our dining room feels more like a large family room. You’ll notice lively chatter about current affairs or the day’s events over a glass of wine or beer. Alcoholic and soft drinks are available with lunch and the evening meal, and all our produce is fresh, seasonal and, where possible, locally sourced from across Staffordshire.
Our in-house chef and kitchen team at Horse Fair make every effort to cater to the needs of the residents, who are consulted on the weekly menu planning. Special dietary needs, including vegetarian options are never a problem.
The chef tells us that the plates always come back empty, and with three meals a day, as well as tasty snacks in between – our residents will certainly never go hungry at our Rugeley care home. Birthdays and other celebrations are always taken seriously and are a good excuse for doing that extra special something to accompany the good wishes.

Join us for an engaging talk by Heather Grant, where she will discuss how she and her husband, Trevor, have been working with a women’s group in Bolgatanga, a town in northern Ghana, for the past 13 years.
In that time, they have initiated several projects to help improve life in this rural community. At this event, Heather will demonstrate some of their work (handmade baskets), which you will be able to purchase.
Heather and Trevor are currently supporting apprentices in dress making and weaving, and over the years have built a craft centre which is used by the girls and the wider community.
