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. ?
Oakwood Care Centre is an independent 18-bed residential care home in Stalybridge, Tameside, registered with CQC under its own name. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Tameside, where the typical home has 42 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in May 2021. That matches its previous rating, from December 2019. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Tameside, 19% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2026. That is true of 85% of homes in Tameside. In Tameside, 74% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
