Residents can enjoy visiting musicians, art classes, regular trips in the minibus and much more to compliment the wonderful surroundings. A popular feature on our site is the Entertainers’ Directory, which offers an advertising opportunity to entertainers who enjoy performing to older people in retirement housing, day centre and care home settings. It includes all 11,500 registered care homes in the UK that cater exclusively or primarily for older people.
With over 20 years’ experience in care, we offer the highest standard of care in a warm and welcoming environment. We provide residents with an engaging setting to socialise, dine, enjoy favourite activities and explore beautifully landscaped gardens. The home has a specialist dementia unit called the Somerset Suite. Popham Court provides person-centred residential and nursing care, as well as day care, on a charming site that has award-winning gardens. Interiors have been lovingly converted to suit modern care practices.

Specialist care designed to meet the challenges faced by people living with dementia. Our highly trained and dedicated team approach every day with professionalism and compassion, delivering a service that’s unique to each individual’s needs. See CQC's page explaining ratings for more details about ratings and inspection practices of care homes in England. Also known as Care & Repair agencies, are local non-profit organisations set up to help older people think about, plan, finance and organise work on their homes. These services tackle smaller repair jobs, including installing safety & security devices. They are provided by many local Age UKs as well as other organisations.
We found that people received the care and support they needed, including the medicines they required. We also saw that people’s personal records were accurate and fit for purpose. The home manager had been in post for a month when we inspected the home.

One visiting relative said, “As soon as we walked through the door we knew this was a special home”. One person said, “I have made some lovely friends since moving here. The service is divided into three units, the ground floor and second floor accommodated people who required general nursing care or residential care.
We also spoke with eight staff including care workers, a registered nurse, domestic staff and the newly appointed home manager. We looked at care records for six people; spoke with four people who used the service, seven staff including the manager and three visitors. At the time of the inspection visit there were 35 people resident in the home. For example, people’s medicines were not managed safely or administered appropriately and risk assessments were not always completed to ensure people remained safe in the home.

Staff took time to talk with people during the day and call bells were answered promptly. Care plans were personalised to each individual and contained information to assist staff to provide care in a manner that respected their needs and individual wishes. Risk assessments which outlined measures to minimise risks and keep people safe were held in people’s care plans.
Every registered care provider in the UK can claim a free listing on Autumna. However, a paid subscription allows more information to be added and as a result a higher profile score. We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people. If HOOP doesn't provide all the information you need, submit your HOOP session to us to arrange a conversation with an EAC Advisor. EAC Advice is a free, specialist and independent telephone advice service provide by the charity Elderly Accommodation Counsel . Housing-with-care developments run by housing associations and local authorities tend to be called ‘extra care’ or ‘independent living’ schemes, and explicitly seek to accommodate people who need daily help.

Abbie’s career and love for Oaktree Court began in 2012 when she joined the home as a carer in their beautiful memory care community, the Somerset Suite.
Buying a ‘home for life plan’, or ‘lifetime lease’, gives you the right to live in a property until you die or move to a care home. This might enable you to live somewhere you couldn’t otherwise afford. If you simply want to move to a more suitable non-retirement home, and need help or advice with this, our EAC Advice service is here to help you. They were free to move around the home and the grounds as they wished. They could choose to spend time on their own in their rooms or chat with each other or the staff in the various communal areas.
They inspect care homes and care services to make sure they are safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led. The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. It monitors and inspects services, to make sure they are safe, effective and provide high-quality care. Some care homes are registered to provide personal care only, for example help with washing, dressing and giving medication. Others also provide nursing, and will have a nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day.
Care plans and discussions with people who lived in the home showed people’s care needs had been assessed and appropriate support was provided. Staff we spoke with had a clear understanding of each person’s individual support needs and how they should be met. There were enough qualified, skilled and experienced staff to meet people’s needs. People living at Oaktree Court told us they were very happy with the care and support provided. They said the manager and staff cared about their personal needs and preferences.
We found the provider had taken action to increase the staffing levels and had employed agency staff to ensure that sufficient support was provided until permanent staff recruited. There was a staffing structure in place with clear lines of reporting and accountability. Staff were very positive about working at the home and told us they were able to report any issues directly to the manager and were confident appropriate action would be taken. We observed staff treated each individual with dignity and respect.
People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. Oaktree Court is registered to provide accommodation for 56 older people who require nursing and personal care. The home has a specialist unit for people living with dementia called the Somerset Suite. At the time of the inspection there were 43 people living at the home. Autumna is the UK's largest and most comprehensive later-life living & elderly care directory. Our website is free to use, we are proudly independent, and we never take referral fees.
Oaktree Court is a beautiful and spacious large country residence, set within seven acres of landscaped gardens, wildflower meadows and mature trees and natural woodlands. Getting older can make it more difficult to get around and do the things you used to do, or would like to do. A challenge we all face as we get older is to think about where we live, and how it will work for us when we’re older. If you intend to ‘stay put’ where you are, then thinking and planning ahead makes sense. Our site offers information and guidance that we hope will be of help to you.
