CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Little Oaks is a 14-bed residential care home in Witham, Essex, run by Autumn Care Homes Ltd. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs.
Its CQC rating, from November 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in April 2020, was the same.
Across Essex, 84% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in December 2025. That is true of 89% of homes in Essex. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
