About Us
Oak House is a residential care home in Crawley, West Sussex. We support older people, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and younger adults, and we also offer respite stays. We plan around each person rather than running the house to one pattern, because the people who live here want quite different things from their days. Some want a settled routine and the company of the lounge. Others are out at college, at work or with family for much of the week. Both are properly supported. Everyone decides their own basics. When to get up and go to bed, what to eat, whether to join in or keep to themselves, and how their room is furnished. Personal care is given discreetly and at the person's own pace, and we are careful not to take over tasks that somebody would rather do for themselves. Our team stays as consistent as we can make it, which is what allows us to know people properly, notice early when something is wrong and understand what sits behind distress instead of simply containing it. Health needs are looked after with local GPs and community teams, and families hear from us as a matter of routine. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. You are welcome to visit, meet the people who live here and see how the house works.

Questions families ask about Oak House
Answered from the CQC register where we can. 5 of these the home has not told us yet, so ask when you call.
Can Mum or Dad stay here if their dementia gets worse?
No. Oak House is not listed for dementia care on the CQC register. If dementia is likely, choose a home that is, so a second move is not needed later. Source: CQC register
Is there a nurse on site if health needs change?
No. Oak 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?
Yes. Oak House offers respite and short stays, which is a good way to see whether the home is the right fit. Source: CQC register
Will they support end of life care, so there is no move at the hardest time?
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.

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.
