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. ?
Run by Hightown Housing Association Limited, Oakmead is a residential care home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire with 5 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Buckinghamshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In Buckinghamshire, 73% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Hightown Housing Association Limited runs 9 care homes, and all 9 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in February 2018. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 54% of homes in Buckinghamshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
