Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the January 2022 inspection. This domain typically covers care planning, dementia training, GP and healthcare access, nutrition, and how well staff understand individual needs. No specific detail about care plan quality, training content, food provision, or healthcare access is recorded in the published report text. A Good rating suggests inspectors did not find critical failures, but the absence of detail makes it impossible to assess the depth of practice from this report.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the January 2022 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and how well the home supports independence. No direct inspector observations, resident quotes, or relative feedback are recorded in the published report text. A Good rating suggests inspectors were satisfied with the general quality of staff interactions, but the absence of specific evidence means this cannot be confirmed from the report alone.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the January 2022 inspection. This domain covers activities and engagement, how the home responds to individual preferences and changing needs, and end-of-life care planning. No specific activity programmes, individual engagement examples, or end-of-life planning detail is recorded in the published report text. The Good rating suggests inspectors did not find critical gaps, but the level of practice cannot be assessed from the available information.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Requires Improvement at the January 2022 inspection. This is the one domain that did not achieve a Good rating. The registered manager is named as Mrs Nicola Louise Mclaurie, and the nominated individual is Mrs Sara Morrison. The published report text does not specify what aspect of leadership or governance led to the Requires Improvement rating. This is the most significant concern in the inspection findings and the area where the home has the most work to demonstrate improvement.

The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
This home scored 62 out of 100. Four domains were rated Good at inspection, but the Well-led domain was rated Requires Improvement, and the published report contains very limited specific detail across all areas, which limits how confidently any theme can be scored.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Oakfield (Easton Maudit) Limited, an 18-bed residential home in Easton Maudit, Wellingborough, was rated Good overall at its most recent inspection in January 2022. Four of the five domains, Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive, were rated Good, representing an improvement from the previous inspection where the home was rated Requires Improvement. The home supports people with dementia, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments. The main concern is the Well-led domain, which was rated Requires Improvement at the January 2022 inspection. This means inspectors found something in how the home is managed or governed that had not been put right. The published report text provides very little specific detail about what was found in any domain, so it is difficult to assess the quality of day-to-day care with confidence. Before visiting, ask the registered manager directly what the Requires Improvement rating related to and what has changed since. On a visit, pay close attention to how staff interact with residents in corridors and communal areas, whether the environment is clearly laid out for someone with dementia, and whether the manager is visible and known to the people who live there.
