Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 3 exceptional. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Oakdene is one of 274 care homes in Nottinghamshire: a 40-bed residential care home in Mansfield, run by Prime Life Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs, people who use drugs or alcohol and people detained under the Mental Health Act. That is larger than most homes in Nottinghamshire, where the typical home has 26 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in November 2025. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in December 2019. Ratings in Nottinghamshire are typically about 4 years old, which makes this one newer than most. None of its 33 scored standards was below good, and 3 were exceptional.
About 1.4 km away, Thistle Hill Hall is rated Outstanding. Prime Life Limited runs 54 care homes, and 43 of the 53 rated are Good or Outstanding. In Nottinghamshire, 85% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2026. That is true of 89% of homes in Nottinghamshire.
