What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 13 August 2025 (assessment visit 12 June 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Date of Assessment: 4 14 July 2025. Oakleigh Lodge Residential Home provides accommodation for older people, some of whom were living with dementia. Our assessment was prompted by the length of time since the last inspection, and the previous rating of the service. We had previously identified areas of improvement needed in respect to staffing levels and the deployment of staff, staff training, staff following external health professionals’ guidance, the management of medicines and person-centred care planning. We found that the required improvements had been made. People received good care that met their needs and protected their rights. The provider had a good learning culture and people could raise concerns. People were protected and kept safe. Staff understood and managed risks. The facilities and equipment met people’s needs. There were enough staff with the right skills and experience. Managers made sure staff received training and regular appraisals to maintain high-quality care.
