2021-07-08Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementOak House received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because whilst staff were caring and protective of people, there were significant governance and safety failings. The home lacked a registered manager for 12 months, had inadequate quality assurance systems, and failed to properly manage risks including fire safety, environmental hazards, weight loss monitoring, and staffing flexibility. Additionally, a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard was allowed to expire unlawfully.
