About Oakmeadow Community Support Centre
Oakmeadow Community Support Centre in Widnes is a care home supporting adults with a wide range of needs, including older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with mental health needs, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also support younger adults and offer respite stays. We will start with our last inspection rather than leave you to find it. The Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We accepted the findings and worked through them with the team. The effort has gone into the things that affect people directly, which are safe medication practice, keeping staffing consistent so people are supported by workers who know them, and making sure a concern raised by a resident, a relative or an advocate reaches a manager and gets a proper answer. What we are working towards is unchanged. Everyone here has a plan agreed with them, covering how they like to be supported and what they want their days to hold. People choose when to get up, what to eat and how much company they want. Where somebody does not use speech, we learn how they do communicate and make sure the team knows. When someone becomes distressed we look for the cause rather than the quickest way to stop it. Please come and visit, ask us about the inspection and see the place as it is now.
