Mental health care in Burton-on-Trent

There are 14 mental health care services in Burton-on-Trent registered with the Care Quality Commission. 7 carry a published CQC rating, and 6 of those are rated Good or Outstanding. The other 7 are unrated, which usually means they have not been inspected since registering rather than that anything is wrong. Privately arranged care is quoted by the hour, and the Homecare Association puts the minimum a provider must charge in 2026-27 at £34.42, or about £481.88 a week for two half-hour visits a day. Adult social care in Burton-on-Trent is arranged by Staffordshire, which paid providers £21.80 an hour in 2023-24, the 57th highest of 150 councils in England and 3% above the £21.19 median. That is 14 of the 26 home care services in Burton-on-Trent. Registration sets what a service is allowed to provide. It does not say how well it does it, so read the inspection report and ring two or three before you decide.

Mental health care in Burton-on-Trent: questions people ask

How much does mental health care cost in Burton-on-Trent?
None of the 14 services in Burton-on-Trent publish a price, so you get a figure by ringing them: most quote by the hour after an assessment. The Homecare Association calculates that a provider needs to charge at least £34.42 an hour in 2026-27 to pay careworkers the statutory minimum for all their working time and run a compliant business. Two half-hour visits a day at that rate is roughly £481.88 a week. Staffordshire paid £21.80 an hour for the care it commissioned in 2023-24.
Will the council pay for mental health care in Burton-on-Trent?
Staffordshire can arrange and fund care after a needs assessment, which is free and which anyone can request. What you contribute depends on a separate financial assessment. It paid providers an average of £21.80 an hour in 2023-24, the 57th highest of 150 councils in England. The Homecare Association's minimum sustainable price is £34.42 for 2026-27. Those are different years, so treat the pair as context rather than a like-for-like gap. What a council pays shapes which agencies will take council-funded work at all.
Which mental health care services in Burton-on-Trent are rated best?
7 of the 14 services in Burton-on-Trent carry a published CQC rating and 6 of those, 86%, are rated Good or Outstanding. None is rated Outstanding. A rating describes the service on the day it was inspected, so check the report date as well as the word.
Is Burton-on-Trent well served for mental health care?
14 of the 26 home care services in Burton-on-Trent are registered to support this, 54%, against 59% across England. That is less well served than most places, so widening your search may help. Registration is permission rather than specialisation, so it sets the size of the list rather than its quality.
How do I choose a mental health care agency in Burton-on-Trent?
Start with what the regulator publishes, then ask what it cannot tell you: who would actually visit, whether it is the same carer each time, what happens when that person is ill, and how long a call really lasts. 7 of the 14 services in Burton-on-Trent carry no published verdict at all, so for those the questions are the only evidence you have. Every service here comes from the public register, and contacting one costs nothing: we take no fee and no commission.
