About Newland House

Newland House is a residential care home in Oxfordshire for older people. Full details of the CQC's most recent findings are set out below.

Newland House provides personal care to 30 older people, though 18 were residing there at the time of inspection. The home's main concern relates to medicines management, where previous inspections identified that medicines were not always managed safely and administration records were not consistently completed. Additionally, systems for monitoring people's conditions, particularly those assessed as at risk, were not always functioning effectively.
