Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2023-07-12Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementOakview Lodge received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because whilst staff were caring and responsive, there were significant gaps in safety, effectiveness, and leadership. Risk assessments lacked sufficient detail to guide staff properly, daily monitoring of health risks was inconsistent, and quality auditing systems failed to identify problems that inspectors found. The absence of a registered manager and weak governance meant the home could not assure safe, effective care.
