About Us
We at The Oaklea Trust (Durham & Northumberland) are proud to provide compassionate home care across Consett and the wider County Durham area, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism to live full, independent lives in the comfort of their own homes.
Based in the DH postcode area, our team works throughout Consett and the surrounding communities of the North East, bringing tailored support directly to the people who need it. Operating as a home care agency means we come to you, fitting seamlessly into the rhythm of family life and the familiar surroundings that bring comfort and security to those we support.
Our specialism in learning disability and autism support shapes everything we do. We understand that every person we work with is an individual with their own preferences, communication style, routines and aspirations. In practice, this means our care is never one size fits all. We take time to understand each person, working closely with families to build trust and develop support plans that promote choice, independence and dignity. Whether it is help with daily living tasks, support to access the community, encouragement with hobbies and interests, or simply being a reliable presence during the day, our approach is centred on the individual and the people who love them.
Following our most recent CQC inspection in November 2024, we received Good ratings for being Caring and Responsive, a reflection of the warmth our team brings to every visit and our commitment to listening and adapting to the people we support. The inspection also identified areas requiring improvement in how Safe, Effective and Well led we are, and we are taking this feedback seriously. For us, transparency matters, and we are actively working to strengthen these areas so that families can feel confident in the quality and consistency of the support we provide.
Choosing home care for a loved one with a learning disability or autism is a deeply personal decision, and we know how much trust you place in the people who step through the front door. If you are exploring support options in Consett or the wider Durham and Northumberland area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. We would be delighted to have an open conversation about how we can help your family member thrive at home.
