Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2017-11-11Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementOaklands Care Home received a 'Requires Improvement' rating across all five key questions because of significant failures in safe recruitment, risk management, Mental Capacity Act compliance, dignity and respect in care delivery, and lack of meaningful activities for residents. Whilst staffing levels were adequate and medication management was safe, systemic weaknesses in quality assurance meant these failures went undetected, and the home had not adapted to meet the changing needs of residents, particularly those with dementia.
