Oakleigh Residential Home provides personal care to 23 people, including those with physical health needs and dementia, in an adapted residential property. The home maintains adequate infection control practices and ensures medicines are stored and administered safely. Recruitment checks are carried out to verify staff suitability, and staffing levels are sufficient to provide individual support and good overall care.

Risks were appropriately assessed before people moved into the home, and staff support people to take their medicines safely.
