Oaklands Care Home

“Date of Assessment: 01 and 02 May 2025. Oaklands Care Home provides accommodation with nursing care for up to 31 people. Accommodation is arranged over two floors with stair and lift access. At the time of this inspection there were 25 people using the service. Our inspection was prompted by concerns received about the clinical safety of the home and how this was managed. This was a comprehensive inspection, and we reviewed all the quality statements.”

“The provider had processes in place to manage people’s medicines, however we identified a shortfall in medicines storage related to temperature monitoring and action taken where records demonstrated temperatures went above 25 degrees Celsius. We received assurances the provider had addressed our feedback. Checks for safety had been carried out for the premises and for any equipment being used. Fire risks were assessed and managed. Quality assurance processes were in place to monitor all aspects of the service, although they hadn’t identified the medicines storage issue we found. Action plans were in place and actions taken following audits were monitored. Managers investigated incidents thoroughly and lessons learned were shared with staff.”
