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. ?
OSJCT Lake House is one of 131 care homes in Oxfordshire: a 43-bed residential care home in Banbury, run by The Orders Of St. John Care Trust. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia.
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in May 2025. 88% of homes in Oxfordshire also score 5. Across Oxfordshire, 88% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. The Orders Of St. John Care Trust runs 49 care homes, and 44 of the 47 rated are Good or Outstanding. Godswell Park, 4.4 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding.
In November 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in November 2017, it was rated Requires improvement. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 57% of ratings in Oxfordshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
