About Oakleigh Residential Care Home
Oakleigh Residential Care Home provides residential care in Huntingdon for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. We also take planned respite stays. Most of what makes a care home a decent place to live is ordinary and daily. Getting up at an hour of your own choosing, food you actually want to eat, staff who know your name and your habits, and somebody noticing when you are quieter than usual. That is where our effort goes. For residents living with dementia, familiarity and an unhurried approach prevent far more distress than they cost, so we keep the shape of the day recognisable and let people work at their own pace. We ought to be straightforward about our inspection position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We are not going to dress that up as a misunderstanding. It described real shortfalls, and our manager and staff have been working through the findings, with tighter medicines practice, clearer record keeping, more training and supervision, and regular internal checks so that gaps are found by us rather than by an inspector. That work is not finished and we will not claim otherwise. If you are considering Oakleigh for somebody you love, please come and look round, ask exactly what has changed since the inspection, and speak to residents and relatives while you are here.
