About Us
Oaklea House is a residential care home in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. We support older people who need help with daily living, along with younger adults, residents living with dementia, a learning disability or autism, or a mental health condition, people with a physical disability and those living with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available for shorter periods.
We support a broad mix of people here, so we plan around individuals rather than working to a formula. Residents decide when they get up, how they spend their time and what they eat. Meals are cooked on the premises and preferences are remembered. There is company and activity for those who want it and no pressure on anyone who does not.
Staff take time to learn what helps a particular resident feel settled and what unsettles them, which matters enormously for anyone living with dementia or managing a mental health condition. We adapt how we communicate to suit the person, which is especially important for residents with a sensory impairment or a learning disability.
We keep close contact with GPs, community teams and district nurses, and we keep families and advocates properly informed. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time.
The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. Please come and look round.

Can Mum or Dad stay here if their dementia gets worse?
Yes. Oaklea House is registered for dementia care, so someone whose needs increase can usually stay rather than move. Ask how they support people in the later stages. Source: CQC register
Is there a nurse on site if health needs change?
No. Oaklea House is a residential care home without on-site nursing. District nurses and GPs visit, but someone who needs daily nursing may have to move to a nursing home. Source: CQC register
Can they try a short stay before deciding?

Ask the home. End of life care is not listed on the register. Ask the manager whether residents can remain in the home with hospice or district nurse support.
Can she bring her cat or dog?
Ask the home. The home has not told us its pet policy yet. Ask directly; some homes allow small pets in residents' rooms or welcome visiting dogs.
Can a couple stay together?
Ask the home. We do not know whether the home has rooms for couples. Ask about shared or adjoining rooms if this matters.
Will the council help pay, or is it self funded only?
Ask the home. The home has not told us which funding it accepts. Most homes take both council funded and self funded residents; ask about council rates and any top up. Use our funding calculator to check what you might pay.
