About Oakcroft

Oakcroft is a residential care home in Four Marks, Hampshire, and we support adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, including younger adults working towards a more independent life. Respite stays are available too, for planned breaks and for occasions when a family needs cover quickly. We are a household rather than a facility, and the difference matters. People here have their own rooms and their own belongings, and a genuine say over how the day goes. The staff team is kept deliberately consistent, because support from people who know you well is a different thing altogether from support from whoever is on shift. Changes are explained in advance, the shape of the week stays predictable, and we pay attention to noise, light and the other details that decide whether somebody can settle. Support covers personal care, medication, meals, money and the practical business of running a home, and throughout we try to help people do things rather than do things for them. A skill kept now is a skill kept later, and we take that seriously. We are equally interested in what happens beyond the house. College, work or voluntary work, hobbies, friendships and family visits all matter, and helping people hold on to them is part of the job rather than an extra. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and ask us whatever they need to know.
