Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 1 exceptional, 2 below good. 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. ?
Oakley Lodge is one of 456 care homes in Hampshire: a 12-bed residential care home in Basingstoke, run by Community Homes of Intensive Care and Education Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and children. The typical home in Hampshire has 25 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In September 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from April 2018. That is more recent than most ratings in Hampshire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. CQC found some shortfalls in “medicines optimisation”, one of 2 standards out of 33 scored below good.
