In the inspection report, the CQC said they found a number of examples of good practise, such as as robust cleaning schedules in place for bedrooms and communal spaces and processes in place for staff to check the status of COVID-19 passports for visiting professionals.
Linda Ryan, general manager at Barchester Healthcare’s Red Oaks Care Home, said: “At Red Oaks we are incredibly proud to be a CQC rated Outstanding home. We consistently receive wonderful feedback from both our residents and their loved ones about the standards of care we offer and the fantastic team here, which motivates us all to be our very best.
"Red Oaks is a family, we all pull together and I’m delighted to say that our staff love working here just as much as our residents love living here in this gorgeous setting. We all consider ourselves to be very lucky.”
