Deborah Ivanova, The CQC’s Deputy Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care, said: “Cleeve Lodge was exceptionally well-led, and this was clearly demonstrated through their passion for providing care that valued and treated people as individuals and enabled them to live full and active lives.
“We were pleased to see that the provider promoted an open and honest culture with people clearly at the heart of the service
Councillor Judith Heathcoat, Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care said: “Although Oxfordshire County Council has not directly run any care homes for adults since 2001 we clearly place people in such homes and it is in everybody in Oxfordshire’s interests to know that standards are high in the private sector.
“It is therefore good news that for the first time we’ve three care homes rated “Outstanding” by CQC – and I hope this is the start of many more to come."
