About Oaklea House
Oaklea House is a residential care home in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. We support older people who need help with daily living, along with younger adults, residents living with dementia, a learning disability or autism, or a mental health condition, people with a physical disability and those living with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available for shorter periods. We support a broad mix of people here, so we plan around individuals rather than working to a formula. Residents decide when they get up, how they spend their time and what they eat. Meals are cooked on the premises and preferences are remembered. There is company and activity for those who want it and no pressure on anyone who does not. Staff take time to learn what helps a particular resident feel settled and what unsettles them, which matters enormously for anyone living with dementia or managing a mental health condition. We adapt how we communicate to suit the person, which is especially important for residents with a sensory impairment or a learning disability. We keep close contact with GPs, community teams and district nurses, and we keep families and advocates properly informed. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. Please come and look round.
