What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 1 March 2023 · Last inspected 9 February 2023
Inspectors found Oakwood House, a residential and nursing home that also offers short rehabilitation stays after hospital discharge, to be providing a safe and caring service. Families and residents spoke well of their experience, staff were described as kind and well trained, and meals, healthcare management and the environment were all praised. Inspectors noted that some staff needed to be more consistent with daily records and that activity provision was being strengthened.
- Staff were clear about protecting people from harm, and safeguarding concerns were referred and investigated
- Medicines were given safely, staffing levels were adequate, and infection control was well managed
- Meals were enjoyed, and people's weight and oral health were monitored well
- Care plans were individualised, and complaints and quality assurance systems were effective
- Some daily records were not completed as thoroughly as they should be, and an electronic records system is being introduced to address this
- Some hospital discharge information was inaccurate, which created difficulties for the service
- Some relatives said they had not reviewed their family member's care recently, and people wanted more activities
