Oakleigh Lodge

Oakleigh Lodge is a residential care home providing personal care for up to three people, with three residents living there at the time of inspection. The home offers an interactive and stimulating environment where residents can personalise their rooms and enjoy choices about their living space. Staff support residents to participate in activities, pursue their interests in the local area, and maintain contact with relatives online. The home has arranged access to specialist healthcare support in the community, and medicines are administered safely by trained staff.

However, inspectors identified some safety concerns. Residents were not always protected from the risk of scalding, and safety measures to prevent legionella bacteria were not consistently implemented. Hygiene arrangements have improved, though staff did not consistently ensure residents had maximum choice and control over their daily lives and decisions.
